||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is making a "grinding" type noise after only having it 6 weeks. I also received a "free?" virus protection for 3 months that would not work. I plan on returning this computer and possible going back to a Dell!

Poor Purchase
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very disappointed with this purchase. Booted up fine at startup and for two days afterwards. Then what appears to be a common problem with this PC, No VGA signal. After numerous phone calls finally a tech person determined it was a problem with the motherboard. Due to Covid they were unable to authorize a return for at least 30 days. It turned out to be closer to 60 days. Purchased in Sept. 2020 and I am still waiting for PC on Jan. 28,2021. Bought a Dell in the meantime which I should have bought instead of this LEVONO
No, I would not recommend this to a friendAnnoyed, Frustrated & Completely Disappointed
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straight out of the box...Couldn’t even boot up properly. My guess is something related to the data card was the culprit. Had to return because all available troubleshoots failed to fix it. This was NOT an open box item; it was brand spanking new and completely broken. This is not the only Lenovo product that has been disappointing. Be sure to do lots of research before buying. I’m personally going back to Apple. I’ve never had nowhere near this level of trouble with my previous MacBook Pros, Dell or HP. Grrr!!!

Desktop that gets the job done
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was looking for a desktop for the family and to do some entry level video editing. This gets the job done. It is simple enough for my 6 year old to operate with the included Windows 10 and powerful enough for the rest of the family to get their assignments done. Open the box, plug in, connect monitor, mouse, and keyboard, and your ready to go. It has plenty of usb ports font and back with a USB C in front also. A multi data reader in fron with a cd/DVD. 1 TB hard drive which is plenty. It boots fast and continues to process fast in all operations. There were quite a bit of firmware and software updates upon initial startup but no biggie. The graphics card processes smoothly and quietly without bogging down the system under heavy load. I have yet to dive deep into the system, but so far so good.... I'm impressed and satisfied.

Unstable functioning
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer would randomly reboot. It occurred at night, when it was idle. It would reboot while I would be working. It would sometimes go hours fine. Other times it would only last 10-15 minutes. I actively monitored CPU temperature and power usage. Neither was abnormal.

Posted .There are at least two reasons your system would reboot automatically. If you have Automatic Updates selected, your system will update anytime there is a new update and the system is connected to the internet. You can turn off automatic updates, if you choose. You will then get an alert when there is an update ready and you can manually select a time for the update to occur. The second reason your system would reboot itself would be incompatible software installed on the computer. 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.

- Pros mentioned:Performance, Price
Easy setup, and very solid for the price.
|Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So I got this with doubts that it could perform well, but I was wrong. It is actually really solid for the price, and gets the job done with easy. Some mild video editing, and lots of streaming. It's holding up very well. I've been doing lots of words docs too, and there has been no issues. It was a little sluggish at the setup, but after it calmed down...it has been good to go. Makes me wonder why others companies charge so much for the same internals, or less. This is a great starter computer, or family computer. I love it.. I've got it hooked to my 34 inch ultra wide monitor through HDMI, and I'm having NO issues.

Known problem with model.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Turned on computer and it made a terrible noise and vibrated on table. Had to have someone come and take apart. Wire was hitting fan. They said this is a common problem with this model according to internet. Very disappointed in Lenovo and Best Buy for selling it. No wonder it was cheap.

Piece of garbage
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer crapped out this week 20 months after purchasing it . This is a bit ridiculous. It was just used for home computer stuff. So disappointed in Best Buy and this company
No, I would not recommend this to a friendLenovo is the worst.
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was purchased to replace a 10 year old Dell. I’m ready to go back to that slow, outdated Dell. It would still outperform this slow, quirky, unreliable doorstop.

||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased it last Dec 2020 at Bestbuy. It was seriously nightmare. Its response was so lagged and even shutdowns from time to time. Accordingly I rated one star.
