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.

    This Ideacentre 300s was returned with the service contract because I do not want to deal with Windows 10 as long as Windows 7 is available. Best Buy did not offer to economically load Windows 7 to this Lenovo desktop.

    I purchased the Lenovo Desk Top PC to replace an out dated HP Desk Top. The new PC has an excellent process and all the on board memory I'll ever need. An excellent choice for everyday computing.

    I've had different monitors before. The value of this newest monitor has exceeded what I wanted. The clarity is beyond what I had before. And I got it on sale and saved $120.00. Thanks.

      Is there a Windows 10 driver available from Brother for your printer that you can load on to the IdeaCentre 300s? Also can you pair the printer and the computer by connecting the printer to the computer with a USB cable then install the wireless printing drivers? Finally, if the printer is old enough to work on an Windows XP computer, there may no be compatibility with Windows 10 on the printer side. Check with Brother about the compatibility of the printer with Windows 10. lenovo
