Customers are saying

However, some users reported issues with the fan, power supply, and limited memory. A few also expressed concerns about the motherboard's reliability and their experience with Windows 10.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 300s desktop. With regard to the CD/DVD drive being in a vertical load position, you can lay the IdeaCentre 300s flat on its side, to make the CD/DVD drive load horizontally and not do any damage to the system. lenovo

    From the moment I took it out of the box it had problems. Before adding any programs or anything to it it, it ran at a snail's pace and would freeze up. Sometimes to get a page to completely open, you have to refresh the page 3 or 4 times. Had my internet provider here to make sure it wasn't my internet service. Haven't had the computer more than 2 months and I have to get a new one already. I'm sure it won't be a Lenovo. Would have given it zero stars if I could have!

    I thought the wife would like it as she had taken up walking and watching her diet. But after one day of wearing the wrist band, she did not like it. I tried it for a day and it made my wrist sore.

    We purchased this for our kids to share to do homework. Worked great for 4 mo. But then wouldn't turn on. Contacted Lenovo and then honored the warranty and repaired it quickly.

    Good deal for a good computer. Was looking for a standard desktop tower for school and it has performed perfectly. The one I bought was refurbished and have not had one problem with it yet. No complaints at all.

    When I bought it, I was just wanting nothing fancy for occasional use online. What I didn't expect was the speed it worked at, for a simple Pentium processor. It performs admirably, very happy with it.
