Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the ideacentre 300S's price, ease of use, performance, and compact size, finding it suitable for basic computing tasks. However, customers are negative about the motherboard, RAM, and hard drive reliability, with some experiencing failures shortly after purchase. The small form factor is a plus for many, but some users felt the included RAM and storage were insufficient. Issues with the cooling fan were also reported by a few users.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    My son bought this on June 7th and by June 28th he got the blue screen of death. This computer should not have done this already. he doesn't do anything on it for it to do so. It is having issues with the hard drive. I am taking it back and see what they will do for him.

    A Decent Basic System

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this as a sort of a stop gap between an existing system and a future system just to be able to check email, pay bills online, surf and shop the internet. This system will do all that, and has good features, such as: Wi-Fi and Bluetooth in addition to the Ethernet connection, a DVD/CD burner, 64-bit Windows 10, 500 G hard drive, memory card reader, HDMI and VGA, and six USB ports, two of which are 3.0. The Pentium processor is not the same as the ones from 20 years ago except for the name, and is a slight upgrade from the Atom and the Celeron. It is only 1.6 GHz however. Though Windows 10 supposedly only uses one or two GB of memory, 4 GB of RAM did not seem to be enough. Internet pages loaded slowly, and if multiple tabs were opened, the computer really seem to bog down, like a Model T on a muddy road after a hard rain. My old computer with Windows Vista only has three GB of RAM, but is much faster, though it has a Core 2 Quad processor. The Lenovo comes with some useful software with system status and optimization features. My 300s only has one memory slot, not two as the specs state, and 8 GB is the max amount of RAM you can install. I purchased an 8 GB RAM replacement module. It took maybe one to two minutes to upgrade, though it cost me an extra $30. The memory upgrade was worth it though, as now the computer has a whole new level of functionality. I like to have multiple tabs open when surfing the internet, and found that by the time I had 10 tabs open, the computer basically stopped working. After the upgrade to 8 GB, I have had 30 or more tabs open and had not lost functionality. From my experience, if you are thinking of purchasing this computer, consider that you may want to upgrade the RAM. Factor this in and you may decide to spend more on another computer upfront. My laptop with Windows 7 and 4 GB worked okay. By the way, this computer uses notebook type memory, and the power supply is an external brick like the type notebooks use.
