    Laptop Has Everything You Need

    I searched for a laptop with a decent amount of memory, NOT touchscreen, has a DVD/CD drive and SSD for under $700 which was almost impossible to find! I finally found this Lenovo 510-151KB and thought it was too good to be true. I ordered it on-line and picked it up at BB seamlessly. The Geek Squad even loaded the software on it for free. I am very happy with this computer!

    This computer came highly recommended by a family member who is a Lenovo owner. It is quick, quiet, offers the precise capability I need with room for me to grow into other programs onboard. And the solid-state hard drive...exactly what I was looking for. This is my first-time with Lenovo and so far I'm a believer.

    Super fast startup, fast shut down, fast operation. Solid state HD is the way to go. This one is small at 250GB but I use an external drive for storage. For some reason the designers at Lenovo thought it would be a great idea to put an up arrow key where the right shift key should be. I read that in the reviews and thought it was a minor thing, but after receiving the laptop I found that it was impossibly frustrating and time consuming to constantly backspace and correct mistakes. That's why I only gave 4 stars. I used a software patch to switch the 2 keys.

    Clear resolution, very quiet and very cool. User friendly so far. Really good webcam quality. Love the lit keyboard . Only gave it 4 stars because I just started to use it but am liking my choice very much so far. SSD is definitely the way to go. My old laptop would get too hot to handle at times. Yes, as per other reviews the keyboard is slightly different in that the "shift" key is in a different but nearby place on the right side, its where the up key now is. For me, that's a minor issue. Overall for my needs, this is a nice computer and should serve me well for quite a long time. Also, I found the exact computer for $50. less with a competitor and call customer service to see if they would do a price match. I figured they would find some reason not to but no, they matched the price of the competitor. Thank you, BB.

    I am completely satisfied with this Lenovo laptop. Between the I7 processor and the SSD drive I am up and running in 15 seconds. The right hand shift key being smaller is a little hard to get used to but it's a small inconvenience. I'm sold on solid state drives.

    For the price, it's an awesome laptop. The features it has are great, on any other high brand name it would cost at least 200 dollars more. The speakers could be a little better, but I'm not complaining, considering everything else it has. That's why I gave it 4 out of 5 stars.

      It sounds as though there may be an issue with the Windows 10 operating system. This system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the headphone jack on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. lenovo

    Right Shift Key in wrong place

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I read the reviews and this seemed like a great deal. It is FAST both in startup and operation. It is light and mostly easy to use.... BUT I should have paid more attention to the complaints about the shift key. Why should I have to relearn how to type? It is extremely inconvenient to have an arrow key where the right shift key should be. It causes constant errors in typing and the need for retyping and correction. Who decided to move that key? I would not buy this again and would not recommend it.

      With regard to the right shift key issue you mention, there is a free software APP called KeyTweak that may help you. You can switch the key functions of specific keys on your keyboard with this software, so you could change the right shift key with the key you hit in its place. Just Google search "KeyTweak" and you will find articles about what the software does and you will find the download location for this free APP. lenovo

    Very, very happy w this laptop. I teach- this is primarily for typing word docs, ppt presentations, saving photos, music- not a gamer. I am not great w computers, but I had no problem with using keytweak to reprogram the shift where my right pinky needs it to be. Wonderful deal- get this laptop!
