I purchased this tower for my parents as their previous tower was still running Windows Vista. It was getting slow, and Vista will stop getting support from Microsoft. This IBM runs smooth and is quiet, it is smaller than what I am used to. The keyboard and mouse have a good feel to it as well. I was unsure of my parents use of the optical drive as it's what is used in laptops, so you have to be a little careful with it. I will of course be increasing the Ram as with most computers I buy. Overall it was a good purchase and for < $300.00, can't beat that.

Good computer for home use

I am comfortable with windows XP and windows 7. I was amazed on how well I found where and what I was looking for using the windows 10. I had a slight hiccup, when my screen was too big for my monitor. The recommended settings was wrong for my monitor, I used the trial and error method to find the correct resolution, that would allow me to see the whole screen. The i3 is not as good as the i5 or i7, for speed and storage, but the price is. If you have a lot of storage for college and need a really super fast computer, this is not for you. If you are looking for a general all around computer, this is for you.

I purchased this desktop after coming into our factory one monday morning to find our shipping computer was broken. We didn't need anything too powerful, just something that could print labels and help us ship our products.
This desktop is way more powerful than I ever expected. It's cheap but its fast, I am a long time lenovo fan and this desktop is a great example of why. It's great for surfing the web, word processing, and other basic tasks. It would make the perfect home computer for any family and it came with windows 10 installed!

This is a great everyday computer that is great for email, browsing the web and using minimal applications. It is fairly compact, so even though it is under my desk, it hardly takes up any room when it is standing up.
All in all, this is a great buy for the price and I would definitely recommend it.

This replaced a PC from 2004 which had the XP operating system and was very slow. Windows 10 is a great product and the tower has tremendous power for what I need it for. Excellent value for the price.

If you are needing a basic computer for basic internet browsing and word processing this computer will do the trick. The smallish size of the unit is great for areas with little counter or desk space. So far so good and no issues at all. The only down side that we have seen is that it only has 4Gb of ram. But this is an easy upgrade down the road.

Very happy with this desktop. It has the slim profile we were looking for and good power for home use. I usually lean toward Dell and HP, but this Lenovo is good. Only negative might be the DVD player. It's a bit delicate. We don't use that device that much, so not a big deal. Just be careful with it when inserting and taking out DVDs. Good buy for a home computer that should last us a number of years.

This computer fits well on my desktop and doesn't take much space. A little noise at startup, but tolerable. Initial startup didn't take a lot of time and was fairly smooth. Many interface connectors very helpful. It has been reliable so far, and has fast startup.

This is a great entry level PC, and by entry level I don't mean its slow! the i3 kicks a lot of speed, and I don't notice any slow downs at all! I wouldn't game with this PC, but everything else flies with it. Internet browsing, e-mail, youtube, online games, etc. All work great! High quality machine at an affordable price!

This is a great computer for it's compact size and energy efficient. If you want more Ram than 4GB it came with, you can add 16GB total Ram. For storage you have a 1 TB. Also built in wifi, window's 10 new features.

Like the size which is much smaller than my previous computer. It worked out of the box and has continued to function well. One thing I didn't check was it has no speaker. I had external speakers so not a problem.
