      The Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Desktop Computer, model number 90MV0001US, is a light to moderate workload configuration, with its 2-Core AMD Athlon 3050U processor, with a base speed of 2.3GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.2GHz. This processor is supported by 4GB DDR4-2666MHz RAM. This system is good for light work with Productivity Software like Microsoft Office, browsing the internet. This configuration is not suitable for multi-tasking. If you are getting less than expected performance, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo

    Well, can't review what isn't installed. Looks like the pc and monitor will be a big upgrade from my old Dell system, but Best Buy/Geek Squad has cancelled my home installation twice now. My appointment to install went from April 17th, then April 24th, to now being May 13th. A month for a simple service that's been paid for. So, hopefully within the next 2 months my new computer will actually be up an running and I can leave a review on it.

    I am not a fan. It was not fully capable of handling dual monitors so I now have an adapter in the front USB slot. The wifi was acting crazy and would only connect with a wifi adapter. My second monitor blinks out and the drivers are up to date. I wish I would’ve kept my older tower and saved my money. After doing all of that it wasn’t even worth the hassle for me to send back but I will never purchase this brand again.

      The Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Desktop computer, model number 90MV0001US, can support two monitors through an HDMI-Out port and a VGA port on the back of this configuration. If both of your monitors are HDMI, you can connect to the VGA port by using a VGA to HDMI adapter like this one:  https://www.bestbuy.com/site/insignia-hdmi-to-vga-adapter-white/6418348.p?skuId=6418348.
