I was desperately in need of a new computer and a friend recommended Lenovo. He had purchased one and was extremely happy with it, so I did some research, found the model I wanted, and off I went to Best Buy. Thus far, I have been very happy with my new computer. It was easy to set up, is small enough to go on my desktop, and meets all my needs.

Small footprint with great power brings computing from my den into my living room with quick connections to my TV. Depending upon your system, it also enables live streaming without a smart TV. Windows 10 also proves to be remarkably versatile in accommodating older programs from prior machines.

Machine is great. Even with 2 cores, runs very fast most of the time. However when using multiple programs at the same time, you can tell it is a little on the slower side. Added 4GB more RAM, and runs like a champ.

The first one (a slightly different Lenovo) purchased for basic office work had tons of problems. Finally, it was replaced with this one, which works great. Cannot understate the importance of a minimum Geek Squad warrantly.

Purchased to use with a point of sale software application. Works well, no freezing or lock ups. More than enough speed and connections to run touch screen, receipt printer, scanner and regular printer. Very pleased so far

A good computer not stuffed with unwanted pre-added software making the 500 GB storage very sufficient . The memory and video card are adequate for gaming.

Tower hides easily behind my TV that also serves as screen in either VGA or HDMI modes, depending on what else is connected. Windows 10 operating system easily runs programs originally written for older operating systems, using the compatibility feature. For typical home or small business usage, this smaller tower fills a gap for many needs. DVD drive also plays movies and vertical installation stays clear of screen and shelving nearby. Screen size can be personalized for use of wireless keyboard mouse from more distant easy chair. What I needed.

Needed a somewhat compact desktop for web-based volunteer check-in & check-outs, light word processing and internet browsing. The Lenovo ideacentre 300S Desktop fit the bill nicely. It's speedy enough for all of the intended tasks and the small footprint allowed it to fit precisely where we needed it. My only concern is that there doesn't seem to be any included software to create recovery media should the need arises. If the hard drive ever fails, I suspect I'd have to purchase recovery software from Lenovo. Most computers that I've purchased in the past either included recovery media (seems to be a thing of the past) or at least an application to create your own recovery media.

Does the trick. If you are performing simple tasks like surfing, email, and basic Microsoft Office, this works just fine. May go without saying, but not a computer for gaming.
