This Lenovo was a great price for a desk top pc. Best Buy curbside pickup was great during this Covid-19 time.

Zero memory. Even before I've downloaded any new applications, it is already out of memory to run properly. It is not upgradeable either. And what's worse, i bought 3 of them, not knowing thar they're completely useless.

This Lenovo PC arrived on time, undamaged, was easy to set up, and is doing everything we need: email, web surfing, downloading and editing photos from our camera, etc, It has an internal DVD drive which has become rare these days. Lots of USB ports. We were offered optional Microsoft Office 360 at a very low price and we bought that too. We're very pleased with our purchase.

I purchased this as an open box for an unbelievable price. I removed the 4GB memory and installed two 8GB sticks(that is the max mem). It is fast and can access my wifi with no problem in an outside building that is thirty feet from my router. The small foot print gives me extra desk space. Great computer for the money.

I would not recommend this computer. When it was first started it worked well. We waited a week to start it again and Microsoft installed a weekly Windows 10 update. The screen resolution was grayed out and stuck on 640 x 480 (huge). I could not change it at all. We called the Geek Squad and they told us to bring it in for repair. Then they said that Windows would need to be restored to the previous version. Does this mean that Windows can never be updated? I tried to roll back the graphics driver, that didn't work either. Plus! This computer is very slow. I am spoiled with solid-state, instant-on, hard drives. I returned the computer for a refund.

You will definitely want to upgrade the RAM on this. It was slower than molasses in winter. Also, the mouse was DOA, but I already planned on getting a different mouse. I got it so my daughter could play online games with me and it handles them pretty well.

Excellent price! I bought this to replace a computer that crashed. Works well, has everything that I need in a computer. I use it for my home office. I do a lot of research so downloading and uploading files move pretty fast. Had it nearly a month and so far, no issues. I'm still happy with it.
