    Good for basic computer usage but will require a RAM upgrade if running certain programs for WFH purposes. Basic call center work will probably not require such an upgrade. Probably not best for gaming, but a good basic use PC.

    Failed in a few months. When I bot it, I sent msgs to your head of support saying it was a piece of junk. The salesman said it needed 8MB & came with 4. Then you only had a 28MB add on, when I could ONLY use 4 more MB. In an emergency, I rushed to Office Max and bot a new HP Laptop. I had to have a working computer for biz.

    Finally replaced my 10 year old Compaq computer (with Windows 7) with this entry level Lenovo. Much better processor.. It has everything I need.. I also increased the 8mb RAM to the maximum amount of 32mb. Very simple to do. One note of interest is that the RAM modules are the laptop type, not the desktop type.

    The system goes faster but I found it to be confusing because I still can not find half of my data. There needs to be a training book or some handout to help us through the various changes to the applications. Where to find our personal folders and the letters and the notes? Did all the prepaid applications transfer, if so, why does the system say I have to renew or apply?

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Desktop. The heart of this computer is the Windows 10 Operating System. You may want to try YouTube.com (just type that address in your browser address window). There are hundreds for free instructional videos there about Windows 10. Just type Windows 10 Introduction in to the YouTube search window. You can watch free videos there that will show you the basics all the way up to tips and tricks videos and they're all free. Lenovo

    When I went into the computer dept. I saw 2 agents with other customers, so I looked at the displays but didn't see what I wanted, and was about to leave, when another agent came up and said to me "Hi my name is John, can I help you with anything"? I told him my desktop had crashed and I didn't want a package deal, just the computer. John then asked if I wanted a certain brand. I said no, just cheap. He then asked if I would be interested in an open box discount. I said yes so, he showed me the Lenovo which I bought.

    A nice little compact tower. The only downfall is it comes with 4 gigs of ram, but if you know how to update the ram, then no problem. I love it.

    This thing is slow, slow, slow. If you're only going to run one thing at a time this system might be ok, but if you're like me and usually have a couple of things open, switching back and forth, this isn't for you. I'm extremely disappointed with this pc. I'm going to upgrade the ram to see if that helps.

This configuration is not meant for multi-tasking. We always recommend you check the requirements and compatibility of any software you will be installing on your new computer, before you invest in any computer. Be sure your new computer can support the software you will need to use. Lenovo

    Very Slow, Sluggish: Ended Up Returning

    I have read great reviews of Lenovo, and we just needed a simple, basic computer for paperwork and checking email. I knew this wasn't going to be blazing fast, but I expected it to be able to keep up with basic tasks. It can't. This computer is slow. Everything ends up taking forever to open. I had so many issues with this computer, issues with Word and Excel not opening, or taking forever to do so, and simple tasks were time-consuming. I had this computer less than a week and a half before I returned it and got an HP computer that I love. This was just way too slow.

      The Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Desktop Computer model number 90MV0001US, will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 40-seconds. If you are getting slower than expected overall 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
