    This is a wonderful computer with a ton of memory and extremely fast. I bought this for my 82 y/o mother and she was able to pick up Windows 10 quickly and loves how fast she can browse the internet and loves how Facebook runs as well. We have no complaints about this PC at all and would recommend it to anyone that needs a computer for general purposes. No gaming has been done on this, so I cannot review that aspect.

    I purchased this as a gift for my parents to replace their aging Dell computer. It does everything they need, and does it surprisingly well. The processor runs Windows 10 with no sluggishness or slowdowns. The design and form factor are great as well. The included keyboard is better than I expected, although the mouse is pretty basic, but it gets the job done. I would easily recommend this item.

    I have had this computer for one month and it is much better than my expectations. Easy to set up, easy for receiving updates and right now has more power than I need. This desktop will easily last me for 10 years because it has enough bells and whistles that I will not need to do any upgrades for software or storage. The only thing HP could have done better would have had a backlit keyboard.

    I purchased this during the Black Friday sale online. This desktop offered the best processer and memory options for my situation and most definatly for the price. Intel core I-5 processer, 8GB RAM and 1 terabite memory all in a very small footprint desktop tower. I have had this for almost 2 months now and could not be more pleased. Highly reccomended especially for standard home use .

    I needed to upgrade because my old computer was not keeping up to my increased internet speed. This unit exceeds my expectations. The Intel core i5 processor is really fast and the 1TB of hard drive is more than I need. Plus the HDMI output ups my monitor to incredible High Definition. It has 4 usb ports on back and 2 on the front panel. A very nice computer for the price.

    Excellent for creating a smart entertainment (audio & video) system. Instead of paying extra for the smart TV options and buying a bluray player, chrome stick, amazon fire or any other external audio & video device, I use the Lenovo - IdeaCentre 300s Desktop to integrate all the aforementioned functions. I upgraded the DVD player to Blu-ray and simply use the computer to log into the various accounts (Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and Sling). Five different functions, one HDMI output. Based on the processor speed, this computer is able to multitask without hanging or freezing up.

    The LenovoIdeaCentre 300s is a very nice desktop computer that has plenty of CPU and memory for a great performance. I use this computer for web surfing, email, video surveillance software, and other tasks and it performs very well. The size is great, it is not as large as my old desktop PC and fits nicely in the space on my desk.

    I couldn't be happier with this purchase and couldn't believe the price. I've had this for a while now and there has been zero issues. It's a little difficult getting used to the new Windows 10 setup compared to my Windows 7 computer but I like it. It is very fast and has all the bells and whistles I could ask for. I know I'm not even getting close to using it to its potential. Hopefully I will be able to. As for now, if your looking for a new computer, check this one out. It's nice and small, thin, doesn't take up a lot of space at all, and very quiet. Performance is fast.

    I replaced a Windows 7 HP with this PC. It is easy to set up. I had some trouble at first downloading Firefox and OpenOffice - but all was well once I registered this PC with Lenovo. Then the downloads were completed and installed. It was also easy to uninstall the McAfee and install my own antivirus program. The only glitch is that I have yet to figure out how to get my wireless mouse working, it won't recognize it. The supplied wired mouse works fine tho. Unlike previous commenters, I find that the keyboard is comfortable and correctly sized.

    I bought this computer for my son for a Christmas gift. The item is exactly as described. He chose this item for the bargain price after thanksgiving. The memory size was appealing as well as the name brand. The hard drive size was another plus. The computer runs smoothly and has exceeded our expectations.

    Upgraded from a 2gb. system to an 8gb system. Also my old brand was an HP, but so far I have been very pleased with this Lenova. Could have bought cheaper at Office Depot, but would had to of fought the long lines. As it was I had product shipped to my front door for 50 bucks more.

    Bought this computer for my mom who really needed an upgrade. She is a moderate user mostly working with family photos and basic internet searches. She also does some power point work and word doc writing. This computer is very powerful. More power than she would need or even know what to do with but she is the type of person to keep technology items for many years so wanted to make sure she had something that will last her for a long time and capable of handling upgrades in the future as necessary. I gave it to her early before Christmas so she can test it out in case we may need to return it. She absolutely loves it and is happy with Windows 10 because it has all the basics she is familar with from Windows 7 plus new features that are easy to learn. I would buy myself the same computer and I consider myself a power user working with graphics and games and always installing new types of apps. Great Buy!!

    We bought this for our family and for our 8 yr old to play games. It's a compact size, speedy machine that meets our needs. It is not for a gamer though as it is not powerful enough for that in terms of Video card and processor. We love it.
