Needed an upgrade for business. Noce neat and price is perfect

Love my Lenovo it is so much faster than the Acer i had.

These are really great computers.As long as you remove the mcafee software that comes with them. It is just annoying

Awesome PC! Does exactly what I need it to at a awesome price!

s far so good .. very good basic for home bills and internet

I use it for the office work and the processing power is good but I upgraded the RAM to 64GB to multitask.

Good computer for the money. Needed a replacement desktop quickly and this fit the bill

So far this little machine is awesome and very fast great price really a great buy

It is is a good computer and works fast. The only downside is that sound will not come out of it unless you have some kind of speakers connected to it.

Great purchase. Would highly recommend this. Extremely easy to hook up and use.

All in all, this was a fine purchase. I knew that i wanted a basic PC. I found an available salesperson on Black Friday at 8pm. He was willing and able to help me. Lickety split, I had my paperwork and the PC was going to be delivered in a few days. In the end, they got it to my home two days earlier than promised.

Works well- very fast processing with no glitches. Easy to install and use.

Geek Squad Rep: R.J. did a GREAT job setting up my new computer. He also answered my questions, and before he left, he asked me 2 times if I had any more questions, or if there's anything else he could do. I am completely satisfied with his support!

The only thing I had to do was add some additional ports. Other than that I am very pleased with the computer!

Good quality and price. Easy use. Really nice for home job.

Too small for what I needed. I wish I would of got a larger CPU and drive. I just plugged a USB drive into it.

This is an alright midrange computer. The only thing to be warned on is it DOES NOT include a pcie x16 for a dedicated graphics card.

The Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Desktop is a fantastic budget-friendly option that doesn't skimp on features. It's powered by an Intel Core i5-14400 processor, which provides plenty of power for everyday tasks like browsing the web, checking email, and working on documents. Our family needed a shared computer that was centrally located so everyone could create a profile and use it as needed. Already having the necessary peripherals laying around, such as a monitor, mouse, and keyboard, the Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 was a great choice and fits the bill perfectly. ~Design The IdeaCentre 3 has a sleek and modern design that will look good in any home office. It's small and compact, so it won't take up too much space on your desk, or in the kitchen, which is where we have ours placed. Its compact size also allows it to be easily positioned behind flat-panel monitors, making it a discreet and space-saving option. ~Graphics The IdeaCentre 3 comes with integrated Intel UHD Graphics. Integrated graphics aren’t the most powerful, but it's good enough for basic tasks like watching videos and playing casual games. If you're planning on doing any serious gaming, you'll need to upgrade to a system that supports a dedicated graphics card. That said, the integrated graphics card powers my 4K UHD monitor and looks great. More on this below. ~RAM The IdeaCentre 3 comes with 8GB of 3200 megahertz of DDR4 RAM. This is a good amount of RAM for most people, but you can upgrade to 16GB or 32GB of RAM if you need more. I will be upgrading mine to 32GB in the near future since RAM is currently pretty affordable. Upgrading the RAM in a desktop computer has several key benefits, which is why I prioritize making this upgrade whenever possible. Some of these benefits include the following. Improved multitasking: More RAM allows you to run multiple programs and applications simultaneously without experiencing slowdowns or crashes. This is especially important for users who frequently switch between different tasks or have many programs open at the same time. Furthermore, when multiple users are logged into the same computer with their personalized desktops, having additional RAM is crucial. Faster loading times: With more RAM, your computer can load programs and files more quickly. This can be a significant improvement for users who work with large files or frequently open demanding applications. Enhanced gaming performance: While this isn’t intended to be a “gaming computer,” more RAM can improve gaming performance of even basic titles by providing smoother gameplay and reducing lag. Increased productivity: Overall, having more RAM can lead to increased productivity by reducing the amount of time spent waiting for programs to load or tasks to complete. ~Performance The IdeaCentre 3 is a solid performer. It's able to handle everyday tasks with ease, and it can even handle some light gaming. However, it's not a powerhouse, so you shouldn't expect it to be able to handle demanding tasks like video editing or 3D rendering. Light non graphic intensive games, watching Netflix or YouTube, browsing the web, and using office type software all seem to perform flawlessly. Again, for an everyday, shared family computer with multiple user profiles, this has been perfect for us. The included keyboard and mouse are both wired and unfortunately feel a little flimsy. They are good enough to get the job done but if you plan on using this system frequently, I would recommend buying a wireless third party mouse and keyboard for less clutter, better performance, and longevity. I already had an extra wireless Bluetooth mouse and keyboard, so I connected them easily and use them both daily. The connection to both is stable and reliable so far. ~Connectivity The IdeaCentre 3 has a good selection of connectivity options. It includes 1 USB-C 3.2, 2 USB-A 2.0, 4 USB-A 3.2, an Ethernet port, a VGA port, and an HDMI port. It also has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, so you can connect to the internet and your other devices wirelessly. The IdeaCentre 3 features a well-rounded set of connectivity options, catering to diverse user needs. The front panel also includes both headphone and microphone inputs, in case you want to video chat with friends and family. Just be sure to purchase a webcam if needed! Moreover, the IdeaCentre 3 is equipped with an HDMI port, enabling seamless connectivity to external displays, projectors, or TVs. This versatility allows users to extend their desktop workspace or enjoy multimedia content on a larger screen. The HDMI port supports high-resolution video output, delivering crisp and immersive visuals. I currently have this hooked up to a 4K UHD monitor via the HDMI port and it looks sharp and clear. In addition to wired connectivity options, the IdeaCentre 3 includes built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities. With Wi-Fi connectivity, users can access the internet wirelessly, facilitating web browsing, online gaming, and streaming media without the hassle of cables. Bluetooth connectivity allows the IdeaCentre to pair with various wireless devices such as smartphones, headphones, tablets, speakers, mice, track-pads, and keyboards. Overall, the IdeaCentre 3's connectivity options provide flexibility and convenience, catering to a wide range of user scenarios and ensuring a seamless and productive computing experience. Having several family member profiles quickly available on a shared computer is everything I hoped it would be, and the Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 has performed flawlessly. Based on my review and how we use this computer, I can highly recommend the Lenovo IdeaCentre 3. It combines superb performance with an accessible price point. It is worthy of a few minor upgrades that can elevate its abilities and unlock its full potential. I am looking forward to adding additional RAM soon for an even faster experience. ***Pros Sleek and modern design Compact space saving size Great selection of connectivity options Solid performance for standard everyday tasks RAM is easy to upgrade ***Cons Graphics card cannot be upgraded Only 8GB RAM standard Included keyboard and mouse are wired and flimsy

I haven’t had it long but so far it’s quick and reliable.

Everything works fine. The only problem was Webroot was not loaded and it wanted me to sign up and pay for plan Lenova suggests.
