This Lenovo was purchased to replace a 6 year old Dell XPS, so when I compare the 2 it's tough not to give a 5 Star Rating! Half the size as the old XPS, super quiet and blazing fast. Love the Hybrid Drive which makes the boot up & wake up super quick. Purchased during the BB Black Friday Sale in July with 2 Acer - 27" LED HD Monitors, all at a fantastic price. The setup was as easy as it gets including the 2 monitors. When another one of these Acer's goes on sale I'll make a tri-monitor setup utilizing a USB 3.0 port with an adapter. Using the built-in high-speed wireless LAN as well and it's truly high-speed. I'll be upgrading my laptop next and based up my experience with this product, that upgrade will be a Lenovo as well.

couldn't be happier with this purchase and couldn't believe the price. I've had this for a while now and there has been zero issues. It's a little difficult getting used to the new Windows 10 setup compared to my Windows 7 computer but I like it. It is very fast and has all the bells and whistles I could ask for. I know I'm not even getting close to using it to its potential. Hopefully I will be able to. As for now, if your looking for a new computer, check this one out. It's nice and small, thin, doesn't take up a lot of space at all, and very quiet. Performance is fast.

I bought this during a Elite Plus sale and could not say 'no'. My 5 year old PC was crashing occasionally with Windows 10 and it was time. This new 16GB of memory desktop is fast for what I do. It is tiny and quiet, it runs great. Very happy!

This is a compact box with full size performance. This review is based on what the product is described as and not what it should be. I have this connected to a 4K monitor and get full resolution. This is used for normal office usage. Not gaming or video editing etc. although I am certain it would do that fine for limited application.
I would recommend this based on the sale price I paid. There are better options at full price.

The Lenovo 300s-08IHH is a very good, fast computer for the price. Plenty of memory and the i5 processor make it zip.
However the memory card reader does not work very well. The SD card slot in particular either won't read some cards or they are very slow. I can put the SD cards into a USB adapter and they work fine, but I am disappointed that this is even necessary.
Otherwise, I have no other complaints.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 300s desktop. With regard to the slowness of the SD card reader, this could be a driver update issue. You can follow the link below and look for driver updates for your specific system. As always, be sure to create a restore point on your system before you make any changes. Here's the link: http://support.lenovo.com/us/en/products/Desktops-and-all-in-ones/300-Series/300s-08ihh/90F1/0068US?linkTrack=Caps%253ABody_SearchProduct&beta=false

I will admit I have not cared for Lenovo since they took over the IBM line. First couple of years were bad; especially on laptops. Figured I would take a chance on this since I needed a machine to act as a test app server. To my surprise this fit the bill and unlike some HPs and Dells it loaded both Server 2012 and 2016 without Issue. Good on you Lenovo.

I'm very pleased with this particular purchase. Compared to many other offers, this was nice because it has 16G RAM and a hybrid 2TB drive. It's an i5 so middle of the road performance. It has 4 USB2.0 and two USB3.0 which is handy. Only con is it has integrated graphics, although the motherboard has one PCIe slot if I want to add an external video card.

I did a lot of research before buying this machine. I needed something in a small form factor which had the power to do video conferencing without driving up the CPU so high that the fan overpowers the audio. This computer met my criteria and also had the added benefit of having a hybrid flash/disk drive that improved everything else I do with it.

My old PC crashed once gain. I of 2 hard drives didn't survive. Good thing I subscribed to online back up. This Lenovo was on sale at a great price and it had great specifications. The hybrid solid state hard drive was a nice feature I hadn't had before and boy, I will not buy another PC without it. It makes a world of difference in start up speed and everything else. The only thing I didn't realize is the small form factor case/box didn't allow me to add in any of my old drives for extra space but it is nice to have more leg space under my desk. I will have to convert them to external drives with the purchase of an external USB case kit.

I purchased this desktop to replace a laptop I used in lieu of a desktop and is hands down a great purchase. I will states that I have only had the computer for about 2 months, so its longevity can't be accurately assessed.
I am not a "gamer", but with 16MB RAM, a quick start up time with a small amount of SSD memory, and a great sized HDD at 2 TB it was the most economical computer I could find.
I was also pleasantly surprised by the size. It has a nice compact design.
My wife and I both own Lenovo laptops and have no regrets with those purchases and continue to be impressed with Lenovo products.
The only downside is that the finishing touches on the design seem a little unpolished.

I needed to replace an old laptop. I am retired and don't travel as much as I did when working. My needs while away from home home are more than satisfied by a tablet or chrome book. I use this unit for email, MS office applications and surfing the web. It was easy to set up, worked with my older peripherals, (printer, monitor and back up disk) It is fast and works great. Being tied down to a desk may seem old fashion, but you cannot beat the price and performance

Was looking for a good deal for a new computer for my son. He does a lot of gaming on Steam, watches you tube and will be using it for online school so I wanted something that could handle what he does. So far he loves it. He can have multiple windows open without lagging out. It's one of the small towers so it doesn't take up much space. So far it's great, I will update review if needed.
