Knowing that I would upgrade to Windows 10 very soon, I wanted a machine that had a faster operating system and more memory than I have ever had. My Lenovo offered me both and as an uncluttered machine was a perfect subject for Windows 10 download. The machine is functioning very well to this point and is much quieter than any I have used before. It has been easy to transfer much of my data from the old machine and is starting to seem like MY Machine.

I had been looking for a desktop to replace a 10 year computer I had owned. This Lenovo checked off most of my boxes at a price I was looking to spend. It is fast, quiet and I have not had any issues so far. I do some online gaming and the 2gb of dedicated graphics really make the screen pop. It has only been a month but I can not say anything negative about this item so far. I was a little nervous after reading some of the 1star reviews but I have not run into any of those issues at this point. I would certainly recommend this machine!

I wasn't looking to buy a computer, but my home-built system was acting up, so we browsed for a couple of minutes in the Best Buy Computer department. A sales associate approached us and asked the usual "is there anything I can tell you about that computer" kinds of questions. When I told him what I do - usual home office stuff, but also flight simulation, he immediately asked if I'd like to look at something that would probably suit me better but would also cost a little less. An hour later, after doing my online perusal of others' reviews, I was back with credit card in hand.
The Lenovo is not only a beautiful box, but it has performed exceptionally. The graphics are much better than the four-year-old rather expensive card I had put in the old system. Speed is more than I expected, too. The upgrade to Windows 10 went smoothly, as had my other systems'.
I was shocked at how easy it was to move a hard drive from the old system to the Lenovo. I had it done in about five minutes, including the time to remove it from the old box. Plenty of room for big hands to work.
My most recent laptop is also a Lenovo, and I have been very pleased with it. Great products!
And kudos to Best Buy for having associates that work to support one another. I had two - one who "sold" me on the machine, and another who basically did the paperwork - while being sure to let the first fellow know he was taking care of me for him. Excellent teamwork.
I got the box about halfway through the store when another associate approached me and asked if he could carry it to my car for me. I wasn't having a problem, and I certainly didn't expect him to take it out into the parking lot - which he did - but that's the kind of service I have come to appreciate from Best Buy's folks.

This Lenovo desktop is highly rated by Consumer Reports and is fast and quiet. It has a powerful i5 processor and 8GB of RAM. Fairly large footprint and only the lower VGA/HDMI output connected to the graphics card works. Windows 8.1 is a bit confusing and not as user friendly as Windows 7. Wait until 2016 to upgrade to Windows 10, since there are many bugs.

Great PC with excellent selection of accessories, memory and storage space. Simple to get going too! Love Lenovo products! Only reason I rated it 4 stars is because it has Windows 8. Windows 8 may be the worst operating system ever preloaded on a PC. I wish they would stop trying to make the UI look like a tablet. It is a PC and I want it to act like a PC, not a tablet.

Great PC with Room for Upgrades

Great PC for the price. Has plenty of room for upgrades, and the chassis is big enough to fix a GTX 970. Comes with 2 4 gb sticks of DDR3 and has room for 2 more sticks. When on sale this is an excellent computer. For the same price of the ROG desktop you can get this and replace the graphics card with the GTX 970, as long as this tower is on sale. Great PC and Lenovo has always had a great track record with very little problems and great customer service. Never had a single problem with them.

I purchased for the sizes of the hard drive as well of the speed it operates at for primarily use with Lightroom and Photoshop processing very large photo files. So far the computer has perform beyond my expectation.
the only downer was the Geek squad stated that they could transfer all my data, photo and email files. The data and Photo files were transferred but my email files were mostly lost.
So the computer is great but the geek squad work was not up to par.

I was really skeptical about moving to Windows 8.1 from Windows 7; but my old PC was too slow to be effective anymore. This machine has everything I need for my standard use cases: email, casual web browsing, MS Office, etc. The learning curve for the new Windows interface wasn't too bad. The guys at Best Buy gave us a brief overview in the store, and that was enough to get us started. All around, this is a good value.

Best Value Desktop

This desktop gave me the best specs for the money given what I need if for. No other brand came anywhere near this price for this level of hardware. This desktop is a photography and video tool for me. I work in Lightroom, Photoshop and other image file processing programs. These types of applications take a lot of processing power and can use a lot of memory. So far, this machine handles the demand very well. It also seems well adapted to expansion and hardware upgrading.

Bought this about 2 months ago now. So far everything I have thrown at it runs good. Bought a new game with it and it wanted a better vid card but still ran it in ultra? Loaded and been playing Skyrim at ultra and loving it. Have done some vector and other work and it processes it all very quick. As mentioned the vid card could use a little upgrade and some more ram would not hurt but not necessary. Overall a solid platform to use for everyday tasks and gaming.

This thing is a beast, and I mean that in the best possible sense. It's more than enough computer for a family household, a small business, or for a clandestine-safe house. The instant retrieval-Military Opening Disc-door is Cold War cool!! I love this computer so much, I say goodnight to it....

I had to get a computer with a lot of oomph, memory, & graphics capabilities, and this computer fills the bill. Less happy with Windows 8. Seems like a lot of extras, apps, and goofy stuff that wasted a lot of my time learning to manouever.
Picky thing: The little lever to open the DVD player is flimsy and hard to press. I suspect that will fail before too long. Also, having the USB ports on the top, facing up is a bad design. Puts cords in the way, and dust will collect and compromise the ports eventually.

This is not the least expensive computer out there, but it certainly is a good bargain for the quality you receive in return. I have only had it for about a month, so I can't speak to its longevity, but it has worked beautifully for me thus far and I have no complaints. The possibility of expanding the RAM to 32GB is a very nice feature, and starting out with 8GB isn't bad either. Very fast, affordable, good quality.

The Lenovo is a midrange all-in-one (AIO) desktop PC that comes with a quad-core Intel Core i7 processor and Nvidia GeForce graphics. This extra power lets you enjoy using the system over the next 4 to 5 years before it will start to feel slow. It's fully loaded, with 802.11ac Wi-Fi, an In-Plane Switching (IPS) touch display, and HDMI-in and -out ports. Its performance and features earn the B50 our Editors' Choice for midrange all-in-one desktop PCs.
