    My parents needed a PC. I know they're not as savvy, so I thought I'd check out some deals at my favorite local best buy. I'd seen several of these little guys on display, and though it would be perfect for my folk! It works well! Great value, they love it. I'm pleased.

    The Lenovo mini-desktop replaced a 10-year-old computer. We use the computer primarily for web searches, word processing and spreadsheets and it is lightning fast compared to the old one. With its 4GB of RAM and a huge 1TB memory it is more than enough at a very competitive price. It is the first time we have purchased a Lenovo computer and we are impressed so far.

    If you're not into gaming and don't require massive amounts of memory (for things like advanced/professional picture/video editing or advanced graphics work) - just need a solid, working computer that doesn't take up very much space - this one is worth considering. This is a great entry level computer which is also more than adequate for small businesses. And the price can't be beat! If you buy the 'low end' version (that only has 4gb of RAM), the RAM is easy to upgrade and you can do it yourself in minutes. I bought an additional 4gb RAM card, installed it easily (found several tutorials on YouTube) and enabled multi-tasking on a level that 4gb alone could not handle. If you do want/need to use more demanding editing programs, the RAM can be increased to 16gb and you can add to - or replace - the hard drive with larger capacity SSDs for even greater speed and capacity. I bought mine with a 1tb standard hard drive, so, you do hear the HD at startup, and sometimes when it is 'thinking' quietly in the background, but, in general, it is a very quiet hard drive. If you need a silent hard drive, and have the extra cash to invest, the SSDs make no sound and are much faster. That is another upgrade (adding a second hard drive or replacing it) that you don't have to be a Tech Engineer to accomplish. The 510s-08ish does everything that I need it to do and has worked flawlessly from the moment I set it up - which didn't take very much time at all. For a novice user, student, or small business owner, this is a great choice. Examine your options, determine your processing needs and make sure it's a 'good fit' for you. You won't be disappointed in this desktop! The only 'negative' that I found with this unit is the CD/DVD drawer - it's a little flimsy and you do have to be careful with it, but, as long as you don't handle it too roughly, it's fine and works well! I still give this unit 5 stars because - for this price - I wouldn't expect that every component would be indestructible. I will just be careful with the CD/DVD drawer. I couldn't find a better desktop in this price range. As long as you don't ask it to do anything that it isn't designed to do, it will perform very, very well for you! I would definitely recommend this desktop!!

    Nice Tower

    This is my first Lenovo, and the first open box computer I’ve ever bought. Very nice computer! It’s decently fast (not a gaming computer by any means) and pairs well with the other accessories I have. The only issue I had, and I don’t think it was a Lenovo or hardware problem, but the WiFi card stopped connecting to my Comcast router. I had to run a hardline to it for internet access. Overall, great system!

    I was very hesitant about buying a new computer and was really glad to have made the choice in purchasing this Lenovo computer with a Best Buy reps help. I've given this quite some time, to make a proper review summary on it. I think this computer is great, but don't care for windows 10, though it came with all the bells and whistles of how to use it.

    What attracted me to this unit is the small footprint. I sits on my desk and takes very little space. I've used it for about a month now and I am completely satisfied with the performance. Typical use is playing movies, mp3, photo storage, office applications. Works

    I needed an updated computer tower, and after looking at reviews online as well as comparing different stores, I found Best Buy to have the absolute best price for exactly the product I was looking for. I needed a compact tower, and this Lenovo fits the bill. It is small, quiet, fast and came with a keyboard and mouse. It is the perfect little computer for my online school work, research and social media. I do not play video games or watch You Tube, so I am not concerned with processor or video card capabilities. I have had no issues with it, and would recommend this to any one who needs a good, reliable entry level computer, or just a replacement for an outdated machine. It's compact size is perfect for a small desk.

    Good General-Purpose Desktop

    Easy to set up, just "feels right" straight out of the box. However, 4GB memory is a bit skimpy, but it can take 16GB max, which installed easily. Looking at the innards, though, it's obvious any further upgrades (extra drives, etc.) will have to be external - no room for more internal drives. The 4 USB 3.0 ports (two front, two back, plus 2 USB 2.0 ports) mean no problems adding adequately fast external drives. Only REAL con I can see so far is no obvious way to access BIOS settings, but that's not a show-stopper. With a little research... All in all, an adequate value for the price.

    Not sure why some say it's slow because it's pretty fast!! Set up was really easy. The connection to external devices such as printers and wifi was a breeze. I do not like windows 10, but it is what it is. This is what you get when your windows 7 computer gets hardware failure. The Bluetooth feature works great. Love the wireless file transfers. Sent mp3s to my phone without any problems. Overall Lenovo seems to have made a pretty solid unit!!
