A Really Great Value: This model is a big step up from the usual bargain laptop, with a quad (not dual) core 2 GHz processor, 6 (not 4) GB memory and 1 TB hard drive (not 500 MB).

This laptop gets the job done for general usage. Word, Netflix, YouTube, Skype, its all pretty good. It's not a powerhouse, but for the price would you really expect it to be? My only complaint is the off centered track pad, but its not the end of the world.

I got a great deal on this laptop and so far it has worked well for me. I primarily use for internet and email and some word processing and spreadsheets. Only a couple of issues I have run into: Sometimes when I 'sleep' the laptop at night, the processor is running like crazy the next morning. I find it usually happens when there is a Windows Update. I have started shutting down completely to avoid this problem. Second issue is that when playing internet videos/YouTube, etc., the video is black for the first few seconds. It then eventually clears up. Not sure if this is a video card issue or something else. Overall, this was a good deal for me and I am happy so far.

In my opinion this is the best you can get for the price. A 1 TB Hard Drive and 6GB of RAM for under $300, you can't beat that. I won't be using it for heavy gaming but works great so far for everything else!

Windows 10 loads a little slow, but once up, it is a fast machine, and with 1TB storage, I can sync with my online storage. Outstanding!

I needed an inexpensive laptop with a cd/dvd drive and this fit the bill. No fancy bells and whistles but it does the job. Short battery life can be a draw back.

My daughter loved this. Easy to carry and perfect size. It's a good child's first laptop but have to keep eye on fingerprint smudges.

This laptop is considerablly slower then 6 year old computer it replaced. If it would not have died I'd still be using it. But it was cheap.

Good transition to Lenovo with Windows 10

Take a 7 year old Compaq (yes pre-HP) with Vista operating system for a senior citizen like me and transition to a Lenovo laptop with Windows10 and you have one scared customer. Yet, I have been able to set up the new Lenovo with ease, download apps which are similar to apps on cell phones, add a security program, and maneuver through Windows 10 relatively easy. The laptop lithium battery stays cool compared to my old laptop battery. Even though I had been told by several friends not to purchase a computer with Windows 10 due to problems with this new operation system, I have had no issues to date. Would recommend this laptop without hesitation.

ever since windows 10 released it's been a gift and curse. I like the new look and some features are great but it's so unstable to me. I have a laptop and windows 10 seems to run slower on my device. I even restarted the whole installation erased everything and its still slower. my moms desktop runs slow too. This laptop I purchased doesn't have the greatest specs but it runs slow and sometimes crashes. I wish I could put windows 7 on it but oh well.
