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.

    best deal for the money for a small office of up to 50 users (two users can share one terminal). No need for a server. just a good strong router.

    This computer is incredibly slow. I essentially only do Internet browsing/Office work with it and going to nay website is a pain. Numerous memory errors pop up. Also very disappointed in Best Buy's ability to help and return policy. Will never buy from Best Buy again.

      This system should be a fast system with its Pentium processor and 4GB of RAM. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. lenovo
