Customer Ratings & Reviews

Being a professional electronics technician/business owner, I'm not a fan of wireless technology which is never as reliable and solid as using cables. Thus I was a bit skeptical about setting up this computer without an Ethernet cable. But since I set it up only 5 feet from my router, I figured it would be okay - and of course it was. I'm always a little nervous when setting up a new computer, but everything went fine without the slightest hitch. I'm a huge fan of HP products since they also make some of the best electronic test equipment, and in fact this Lenovo is replacing an HP computer which has worked great for 7 years and is still working great - I'm using it to write this review. I first checked into the HP Pavilion A8 because it boasts the ability to upgrade the RAM to 32 GB, but learned from the Best Buy guy that its processor wouldn't be able to access nearly that much RAM. The optical drive on the HP was vertical which I didn't like - and I couldn't believe how cheap and flimsy it was when I opened it. I had even picked up an external DVD drive to go with it, but the computer also felt like it weighed about 5 pounds (if that) and the combination of these issues steered me towards the Lenovo which was originally my second choice in my price range. After setting up the Lenovo and letting it run most of the day - and especially after successfully downloading and testing my horribly outdated and bug-ridden website design software, I'm very happy with the choice I made and my website publishes faster than it did on my HP which has a 6 core AMD processor and 16 GB of RAM. I had read some really good things about Lenovo, and now I can see why. It does run very quiet as mentioned in other reviews, is slightly smaller and much lighter than my HP, and I went ahead and purchased the external DVD drive that I had picked up to go with the HP; this drive will be easy to keep next to the keyboard for frequent business use. I use professional Pioneer DVD recorders for video recording so I will only need to burn program DVD's on the Lenovo, but will be using it extensively to upload DVD's made on the Pioneers to You Tube - so the external DVD drive will be a great and easy to reach addition. I'm not a gamer at all so I can't attest to the computer's gaming capabilities - it will be used mostly for no-nonsense business purposes. To that end, I greatly appreciate the nearly total absence of trial version and "junk" software other computers impose on you - this Lenovo comes pretty well stripped of excess fluff and ready to do only what you want it to. VERY nice change! Now I just need to learn a little about Windows 10 and I'll be all set - thanks Lenovo, for finally coming out with a computer that doesn't waste my time or hard drive space on stuff I'll never use!

I purchased this computer after a best buy salesperson said how great Lenovo is and how good this machine is. I bought it in January of 2016. In April of 2016 it quit working and I had to have the motherboard, graphics card, and memory replaced in it. Fast forward to December and the computer has quit working again. Once again I have to have someone come out to replace parts to desktop. Not sure I would belive what another salesperson tells me again.

If you want to buy a computer that lasts a month before Lenovo has to come out and replace the motherboard, buy this one. And as a bonus, you can wait three more business days for them to send out new software so you can reload your operating system. If you are the person who likes a cherry on top of your sundae, then you will love talking with Lenovo's customer service agents that can barely speak English and are of almost no help. Enjoy your Lenovo!

There was no room inside for customization options. It was more like a laptop style desktop tower.

All in all this unit is slower than my 10 year old HP amd quad core desktop. the computer randomly restarts itself when i shut it down i don't know if it's hardware or software related. with 12 gigs of memory i expected faster speeds and i just don't get it. computer also randomly bogs to a halt while opening anything. i would highly recommend against this unit.

I have been using apple products for year, but I need to change... so I went out to buy a new desktop... I loves this desktop, can't find anything wrong with it... I need a desktop to do my bookkeeping and some other works... So far it run great, the fan is very quiet, and the speed is fast. I have never owned a lenovo computer before, but after using this model of computer, I sure want to use another Lenovo Desktop again.

Could not go on line. Start typing in search bar. Kicks you out. Gave a unhappy face with blue screen saying has to restart. Took it back to store. Two brand new computers with AMD processer's had the same thing happen with in 15 day of each other. Come to find out AMD processer's are week. Our IT guy at work said to never get AMD processer's. Not happy!

I purchased this to do photography and the colar was not calibrated, not very happy with it.

This computer is not good. I had a lot of problems with the hard drive and wireless card.

I am very disappointed in this desktop computer. It is very noisy and much slower than my 8 year old desktop. I have tried every solution I can find to make my wireless mouse function properly with this desktop (including buying a new mouse) but it still lags and jitters erratically. I will never purchase a Lenovo product again.

I was not impressed with the Lenovo laptop I bought but just thought it was 1 component like the wireless network card. It's not upgradeable friendly and underpowered. Sad as the price and stats look great on it. Gave it a few days and I am grateful Best Buy has a *AMAZING* return policy. Thank you BB!

we bought the compuer and due to an update it crashed within a month

BOUGHT AND TRIED IT. COMPUTER WAS TOO SLOW AND HARD TO OPERATE.

Unable to load a browser or other programs. I found that very strange, since this was a brand new computer. I had only used it for a few days, since I was out of town and unable to assemble until I got back intown.

Got this printer for my son to use for school only

Had hardware video issue, returned it. It generated a blurred display. Returned it, new Acer works fine, so it had nothing to do with my monitor. Won't buy Lenovo products ever again!

This product would get 5 stars if the power supply had 450 Watts. It works great as a Ubuntu 16.04 sandbox. The Windows 10 update took something like four hours this morning. Do yourself a favor get a peppy OS. I like that it feels retro. It would be great if it came at a lower price point without Windows 10.

This computer was a floor display (last one in stock). It was working fine on the floor, but never booted correctly once I got it home. The geek squad was unable to get it to work, so it was exchanged for a comparable Dell Inspiron.

when i got this computer for Christmas, i was the happiest man ever but when i got an update for windows 10 on it, the computer would start glitching out and it would turn the pc off and on. like that's bad

It was just over a month old and the system will not shut down. I shut it down and in less than an hour it comes back on all by itself. I'm really disappointed to say the least.
