    I recently purchased this PC during a sale, and overall, I'm very pleased with the value it offers. The performance is solid for the price, handling everyday tasks like web browsing, streaming, and office work with ease. The design is sleek and modern, fitting well into my workspace without taking up too much room. Setup was straightforward, and the machine runs quietly, which is a big plus for me. The specs are impressive for the cost, making it a great option for those looking for a reliable computer without breaking the bank. One thing to note is that while it's great for general use, it may not be ideal for heavy gaming or demanding software. However, if you're like me and need a dependable PC for everyday use, this machine delivers. In summary, this PC offers excellent value, especially at the discounted price. It’s a solid choice for anyone needing a reliable, no-frills computer for daily tasks.

    New Computer Review

    This Lenovo desktop has the HDMI port which I needed to connect my monitor. Not many computers have this port. The computer is working well and so much faster than the 2013 model I was using. I was a little disappointed to find out that I had to connect my external speaker cable to the front of the box which is a little unsightly.

    The Lenovo IdeaCentre 3 Desktop has everything I was looking for in a replacement PC...fast Intel i7 processor, 16GB of memory and a terabyte of SSD storage, and a smaller footprint than the comparable HP I was considering. Hardware setup was a breeze, there are enough USB ports on the back of the box to accommodate all the usual devices. Windows 11 has only a few configuration differences from Windows 10, otherwise everything else works as advertised. All in all, happy with my purchase!

    Smaller and MUCH faster than our older Lenovo tower! Only drawback is you could benefit by at least 1 more USB port in front.

    So far, so good. Was able to transfer all my data with no problems. All except one program reloaded with no problems. The one was a very old one that can only be set up by CDs. Still haven't figured out how to do this one without paying big $$ for the transfer. It does everything quickly which is nice. My old computer was over 10 years old. Also nice to have the updates from Microsoft now. That mind you was the only reason I updated my computer in the first place. My old Lenovo was doing just fine.

    I had to buy a new computer because my 10 year old computer would not take windows 11 or I would still be using it. It was a Lenovo. After reading reviews and comparing computers, I bought a Lenovo Idea Centre 3 desktop. It has lots of memory and works great. There are ample usb ports. I hope to use this for at least another ten years.

    As Windows 10 got ready to retire, my old computer was acting ridiculously wierd! Programs took forever to load and, once loaded, often wouldn't work properly. This new Lenovo, operating on Windows 11 is flawless! I love it!
