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.

The vast majority of our reviews come from verified purchases. Reviews from customers may include My Best Buy members, employees, and Tech Insider Network members (as tagged). Select reviewers may receive discounted products, promotional considerations or entries into drawings for honest, helpful reviews.

    I have owned Lenovo in the past and this was a replacement for one of them. It is the most compact PC I have ever owned. It will fit just about anywhere and has all the features of a much larger tower. Cudos to Lenovo.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 300s desktop. With regard to the slow response, you may want to check on what programs are running in the background on your system. Make sure that no programs you don't want to automatically start up at boot are not doing so. lenovo

    I'm a senior citizen and have played with systems since 1987. It was a present for my grandson. He said "No," take it back. He wanted something he could hold in the palm of his hand ... and stare at. So be it.

    Well since I don't know a whole lot about the system it would help me if someone would help me setup my computer and teach me more about it but each time I ask about it they said that they can't help in any way so now I'm still trying to figure it out it may take me 3 to 6 months
