I have been very happy with my purchase of this laptop. A Best Buy associate helped me pick this laptop amongst the row of "budget" laptops. Since my only purpose for this laptop was to run quick books and browse an occasional website, the specs more than met my needs. The screen is a nice big size for the small font of quick books. The battery life is average for a Windows computer. The laptop is also pretty quiet. It is a little on the heavy side though. Overall, I'm satisfied with my purchase.

I was able to purchase this laptop at a discounted price, but not at a.discount in quality. I did several comparisons against other brands and this has all the features and more as its competitors. Thanks for a wonderfully performing product at a fair price.

This Lenovo Laptop comes with 2.2 Gigahertz processing speed, 8GB Memory and a 1-TB Hard Drive for just over 300 Dollars. I’ve searched all over the internet and believe me it will be hard to find a better deal than this. My only complaints would be the battery only last around 2 hours, which isn’t a problem if you use the laptop plugged in. Also the speakers are weak. But for the price it's hard to complain.

Th ONLY thing I don't like about this computer is that it does not have a back-lit keyboard. Other than that, this computer runs fast, has a great battery life, stunning screen resolution and a quality touch screen. I love the 2 in 1 features. This is a great day to day computer.

The only problem I have is with the keyboard. It sporadically will skip a letter or if you type too hard, it will repeaat the letter (< like that) - Also the zero is under the #2 on the keypad - Who puts it there?? I keep hitting the arrow and 90% of my work is numbers. Otherwise it is OK for the price but they need to fix the keyboard problem before I'd buy another one.

Love the Lenovo G51 but it came with Windows 10 and there was a lot of setting up to do which I did not expect. I do not care for Windows 10 as it makes simple things complicated by adding more steps than necessary and too many apps to try and keep straight. I have gone on line since purchasing and "tweaked" many of the programs so that 10 works more like 7 and is much more user friendly. No fault of the Lenovo - which works great.

I had a Toshiba laptop just short of 10 years so you could say I was ready for a new one. Read reviews and liked what I saw with price and details. Main use is browsing the web and uploading photos and videos. I like its performance so far.

It does everything I need it to, and I got it for the same price as the model with half the RAM. I'm happy with it.

I read these reviews before I bought this laptop and the most mentioned problem is BATTERY.
BUT DON'T BE FOOLED BY THOSE NEGATIVE REVIEWS!
Check your settings! If you TURN ON THE CONSERVATION MODE, THE BATTERY WILL ONLY CHARGE TO 55%-60% FOREVER!!!
This mode is used to protect your battery and maximize the life of your battery if you like to plug in AC most of the time. THERE IS NO BATTERY PROBLEM.
AMD A8 is powerful enough for daily users but not for gaming, don't expect a laptop with integrated graphics can run those big titles. As a person own a gaming laptop, surface, gaming desktop, this laptop is the best choice you can have if you use it only for office tasks and light gaming.

A few reviews mentioned the "thin, plastic" feeling of the laptop; they were right. Also, the battery seems to go dead quickly and take a while to charge. But for the money, it's a good deal.

I originally wanted to purchase the machine as a holiday gift, and it was on sale. After the purchase I was prepping it. I noticed how powerful the machine was 8gb & 1tb was crazy. the machine flew like a dream and the A8 gave me the confidence to get one for myself. I am completely satisfied with the decision to get my own.

Purchased on sale online. Went to local store to pick up, waited in line 40 min. Should have purchased in store would have saved a lot of frusration. The associates available to help at the Mechanicsville va. Store has always been less than fair . As for laptop ,A lot for the money And Durable quality . Buying another soon for my daughter . But will have shipped to residence definitely !
