    I have been skeptical of Lenovo products. However, this laptop has performed very well. It has the power and memory for my work and a very reasonable price! I would certainly buy this one again.

    Just don't do it

    I was so excited to get this machine. I've been dying to try Lenovo. I've been ogling this computer on line since before Christmas. I finally took the plunge! The mouse pointer froze on screen 23 hours into owning this system. I'd been on it a little over an hour. I gave it a rest. This had to be a fluke right? Nope. Second time I used it, days later, 1 hour and 11 minutes in ... Frozen again. . Going back exactly 1 week after purchase. Just don't do it. I'd only recommend this to someone I didn't like very much.

    Dog poo

    This computer is absolute dog poo. It is the slowest computer I have ever owned. I wanted to upgrade from my laptop that I bought 4 years ago because it was getting slow. I bought this one only to discover that, fresh out of the box, it is even slower. Sometimes the mouse touchpad stops working - you can click, you just can't move the mouse. I'm going through now and deleting the ridiculous number of useless programs that come preinstalled. .

    Horrible Laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    There is a big delay when you press a key on the keyboard. The keyboard has an awkward reach and feels unnatural when you type. It Is not worth $100 let alone $350. They warned me about the quality of laptops under $450 in the store. Very, Very, Very slow to process. The touch pad is ultra sensitive. If you look at the pad, the cursor moves, menus pop up. You will get two hour maximum on the battery. Have fun with this nerve racking device.

    DO NOT BUY THIS

    I have owned many laptops in my life. This one is a piece of poo. Just flush your money down the toilet and save your time. I do not expect a lot from laptops. I do not stream or game. This piece of POO locked up and froze the first time I used it. There was a gigantic X on the screen the entire time. I owned it for 24 hours and I was done. WHAT was the point of the huge X over the screen? Who knows....**** it, I am going to Apple.

    Buy only if you are going to use as a desktop

    We had this computer for only 3 months. We used it frequently and it seemed to be reasonable. However, a couple of days ago I took it out of my bag and noticed that the screen was cracked. I do not recall at any point where I dropped the bag so it is strange how normal use would cause this to break. Needless to say this is not covered by the warranty. I will not be buying Lenovo products since they are so fragile.

    Boots fast, smooth design, keyboard and mouse tracker work great. Graphics card is minimal but it's a work laptop so don't need much from it. Able to perform all my daily tasks and no complaints as of yet!

    Waste

    Don't bother spending $300 on this laptop I bought a toshiba for $100 more and it has way more potential than this. Just because it has an amd a-8 processor doesn't make it great it has the same specs as a a-4 quad core processor.
