    Recently started school online and needed a computer that could keep up with online lectures. This more than does the job. As some reveiws have mentioned the plastic is a little flimsy but mine spends most of it's time at home so i dont need it to be too rugged. Overall it's a nice computer for the price.

    While I'm not a fan of Windows 10 (resistant to change and all) the computer itself is very good. I purchased this computer for my girl friend for college and it is able to keep up with all of her word processing and internet surfing needs. She is also able to stream video from Netflix with no issues. All in all a very good computer for low computing needs.

    Battery life sucks on this computer and there no scrolling capability on the mouse pad. Those are the main issues so far. One positive is the computer seems faster than my last (just started using it though...)

    This computer is a good deal and performs better than its predecessor and it certainly was a reasonable price to pay. I think any basic user would be quite happy with this unit right out of the box.

    According to sales associate this was supposed to be a fast processor. However, it is probably the slowest computer I've ever owned. But for the amount of storage and the price I guess I shouldn't complain. It will mainly be used by my 7 year old for school anyway.

    You really can't beat the price for what your get! You get a 1TB Hard drive and 8GB of memory and the battery last for about 5 hours on solid use and the performance is good to I use it for light gaming and work and no problems at all with it! The display is excellent for watching movies and TV shows and the audio I have to say is one of the best! Other laptops I have used come with small speakers and this has built in Dolby audio and it sounds terrific!

    For this price I got a laptop with 8 gig of RAM and 2.2 Gig of speed with Windows 10. Man, you just can't beat that. Plus it's a Lenovo (IBM)

    This seems like a solid laptop for the money. Most other laptops with similar specs are significantly more $$. (paid $299 on sale). No problems so far. Primarily used for word processing and web browsing.

    This laptop is great for the price. It initially took me a while to get it up and running but once it was setup, I have not had any issues except the battery charging to only 60%. I corrected that issue by simply changing the battery status from energy saving mode. Once that is done the battery charges to 100%.

    This is a great computer, at a good price. I love all the space it offers and computing power that come on it. My only gripe would be battery life but even that isn't a huge deal as long as theres an outlet near by.

    Overall the laptop is an alright product. Pros: great screen resolution. Good heat managment Tactile keys as well as a full sized keyboard. Cons Battery doesnt last long unplugged even at idle Speaker quality is that of cheap chinese made headphones. Was not meant to handle windows 10. Boots up incredibly slow due to previous con. Wifi has issues time to time loading surrounding signals.

    We purchased this for our seventeen year old artistic daughter who asked for a Wacom (drawing mouse pad) for Christmas. Well since we couldn't afford the Surface pro or something similar, we went for a laptop that could run Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator while using a small Wacom drawing pad. This Lenovo is perfect for this application, it does not lag, the programs run great with the Wacom! Her only complaint is the internet can be a little slow sometimes (hence the four stars). Definitely recommend!

    This is a great machine that has great specs at a great price. If you are an Intel snob, please stop reading, you should not be looking here anyway. This is a machine that has a lot of horsepower for a decent price (just under $300 when I purchased). Many features you would like and many more that will surprise at the price point. Good performance and reliable platform.

    I have been an HP users for years, but I'm quite satisfied with the Lenovo. I wish I could say the same for Windows 10! I would have preferred having a choice rather than being forced into using Windows 10.
