I was looking for an inexpensive computer to replace my Mom's machine that just died. I was lucky to find an open box display model for a lot cheaper than normal. It fit my budget and was simple to get Mom up to speed with Windows 10 which is a nice, stable operating system. It has some decent memory and storage so she can also watch videos and store photos, etc. overall great little machine for the price.

The Lenovo desktop is a good product for a reasonable price. It has decent memory space 8GB, fast speed, wifi and bluetooth capabilities. It took us about 20 minutes to set up once opening the box. Also, games are available for the kids. Downside is it comes only with a trial of microsoft windows and you have to upgrade or purchase separately. Only 1 year manufacturer warranty.

For the most part this is a pretty good unit. It is fast and easy to set up.
The only down sides I have come across so far are,
#1 Many of my Old programs will not run on the Windows 10 64 bit operating system.
#2 This pc does not have USB 3. It does have plenty of USB 2 ports.
#3 The Audio output is not surround sound. It is only 2 channel.

Good computer and runs fast. Only problem was a intermittent blacking out problem on the monitor caused by the driver for the graphics card. The computer operating system must have been upgraded from an earlier version to Windows 10. I went through the system device manager and updated the driver to a Windows 10 driver. Since then, no problems.

I haven't had this computer long enough but so far it is so superior to my old HP laptop that I thank heaven I switched to a tower. More memory and greater speed plus I have attached a Dell screen with which I can watch any film along with proper visual site lines and brilliant color. I just hope it lasts and/or does not succumb to the current need to buy the next new system that pretends the next great upgrade has to be better than what we are happily using at the moment.

When purchased there were a total of 15 reviews available for it, and none on Best Buy. Took a gamble, as those first reviews indicated significant problems with the unit (motherboard, hard drive, graphics). After a month of use, so far so good. Even though it has an older-gen i5, and it's HDD and not SSD based, the unit is rather quick. Boot time to the Win10 login prompt is under 20 seconds. Browsing (multiple tabs), video streaming, general computational actions (spreadsheets) and light gaming work well. Beyond that I believe the unit would be hard pressed.
Note that it cannot be expanded in almost any way. It has just one PCI slot available, no graphics slots for expansion, and only one drive bay, which is taken up by the 1Tb drive it comes with. It's very compact inside, so much so that even changing out the HDD would require dismantling several elements that block its removal. Do not get it if you have expansion or component replacement in mind.
For general use, schoolwork, or light gaming it should be ok.

I got this for my son in high school. Purchased on Black friday. Very awesome price.
It runs great. If you want to play games, I recommend a $50 2GB PCI-E card that doe not need external power. This small upgrade did not need a larger power supply and makes running counter strike a lot of fun.
It came with a keyboard and mouse. Fantastic deal. If you want super high res and framerate then you might want to look elsewhere.
For the price 9/10

I ordered this desk top because my laptop was going as fast as a snail. I read and searched for the best deal within my price range and decided on this one. I'm super happy I did. The set up was pretty easy to follow. AND this computer is fast. I click and my page pops up. Just like that.....No waiting, no re-clicking on the tab multiple times. If you want a great computer and under $400.00 with tons of storage, then this one is your best bet.

This is a good computer for general family use. It can easily handle homework or general household needs. If you are doing online gaming or heavy duty graphics work, this might not be the best choice, but a great value for your money for general use.

I've now had this for two months now - so far, so good. I have had no problems, and the speed/performance is plenty for my needs (Facebook, e-mail, Amazon, and basic gaming.). I did get the extended warranty, and had the Geek Squad remove all the ad-ware/trial-ware before I took possession. I've had trouble with that stuff in the past, and would recommend removing it all.

Got this on Black Friday in a combo deal with a Monitor, and feel like this was a great deal! So my intentions were to make some "upgrades" as soon as I got it...SSD install, RAM upgrade--be advised this is a Slim Tower, with not much space for additions inside. The Motherboard only has two SATA ports, one for the HDD and one for the DVD player, so my adding a SSD meant I had to remove the HDD (but I have a USB drive 'dock' so I put the 1TB HDD in there). The RAM is upgradeable to 16 (2 slots up to 8 each). I did not even use a "drive bay adapter" for the SSD, just some double sided 3M adhesive strips--SSD's dont have "moving internals", and since it is a desktop, no worries about it being "securely mounted". (Advised of such by the Best Buy Geeks!) As far as other upgrades I think the only thing left inside is a mini PCI-x slot. (I suppose you could add a mini PCI-x graphics card if you checked the Power Supply ratings?)
But overall, for the price, this is good set-up!

This computer desktop version has fairly good specs for starters, especially since it was purchased on sale. I haven't had any problems with it so far and there hasn't been any lag during usage so far. Will update as needed.

I have to say I am very satisfied with my Lenovo PC. The combination of price point and speed works well for what I need to do, which is basically just a family PC. It may not be the thing for gaming or other high-end applications, but for the family to go on the Internet and browse and spend money on Amazon, it will do that all day long.

I was looking to replace an old pc but didn't want or need anything like a workstation or gaming pc, just one that ran well and didn't cost a lot. This pc solved all my issues. It is actually very fast, handles running multiple programs and works very well picture/video editing. It exceeded my expectations especially for the price.
