    As with most consumer electronics you get what you pay for with this laptop. Would be a much higher rating if the screen quality was better.

    I have been using Lenovo's for over 9 years. This model has great specs but the sharp edge along the full front edge of the keyboard side made it unusable for me. I can't believe Lenovo made a laptops with this sharp edge. I returned it within 2 days. You don't feel the sharp edge in the store as you are standing when trying it; make sure to test it as if you are sitting at a desk.

    Six days after purchase I received an error message " the hard drive is failing -- save your work and stop using the computer". I returned the computer to Best Buy in exchange for an identical model. The replacement computer is working fine, though the Windows 10 is pretty slow.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 300-17 laptop. Windows 10 should not be slow. There may be updates needed for the Edge Browser. Here is an informative link about updating Edge:

    The only problem I have with it, and its pretty much a pain in the butt. Is it will not stay connected it the internet. And its not the wireless everything else continues to work. Frustrating when you need to get stuff done and have to reboot.

    Only one star for the quality of service! Of I could evaluate machine and service separately, I'd give 1 to service and 5 to machine. It came with half of the power chord, BB didn't solve the issue, asked me to call manufacturer, and they told me to contact BB.

    Great value on this laptop

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

    I was looking for something that could handle photo editing and also able to connect to a VGA monitor. This could handle both. So far everything is working OK with Windows 10. Having 8 G of memory allows opening multiple apps. The core I5 is fine here. No game intensive apps though so I don't know how this would perform. Turns out I don't really need the other monitor. The keyboard and monitor with it are fine.

    For the price point this computer is hard to beat. Its fast, reliable, easy to use, dependable, light weight, and has great features. This is perfect for a home computer, or student. If you are looking to do hardcore gaming, run a business, or something along those lines. I would spend more money and get a proper computer for such actions.

    Great PC for the Cost

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

    This is a very Nice PC, I had it ordered and shipped to my house. arrived on the exact estimated date. the only reason I have to put 4 stars, is because when I unpackaged it there was a Warning on the product box stating [ WARNING! This Product Contains Chemicals and Materials Known to the CA Govt as Cancer Causing] this warning rose concern for me but I have not returned the PC because of it. the PC is every easy to set up. the battery life says 4 hours but seems to last longer in my opinion. very nice and sturdy design. good sound, and decent screen graphics. no problems with speed, fast as any 8GB intel i5. your not going to find another computer with specs like these at a price this competitive, that's just my advise. also I am sure these are going to end up being out of stock after a couple months so make your decision soon. I can say so far I am very pleased
