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'm a college student and I purchased this computer for my school work. I haven't downloaded anything on it and I wish it would run a little bit faster, but overall its a reliable computer and it serves its purpose.

    We replaced our 7 year old desktop with the Lenovo and Windows 10. We don't have a home business; we're not gamers; we are basic internet users and avid users of Microsoft products: Word, Powerpoint, Excel, and Publisher. This desktop meets our needs. We integrate programs with a PC notebook and tablet. 4 stars and not 5 because of some limited functionality. However we chose this model because it meet our basic needs and the price point that we wanted.

    This isn't the most high end pc, but it does what it should. It is not s speed demon and shouldn't be purchased for gaming. The tower should only be bought if you're creating office files or surfing the web.

    Decent computer for the price to surf the web. Not very upgradable. And kids won't be playing many games on it. But for the price can't beat it.

    I needed a new pc. All of the software I use is Microsoft, i.e., the operating system, applications, etc. This was the perfect chance to start over and try the new windows and new Microsoft office suite of applications. Getting a new PC got me 20% off the Office 365 product. Wow, this is way better than I imagined. Not to mention I got $100.00 off by just purchasing an open box product. Five star rating for sure.

    The computer I purchased was open-box. But I had been wanting this computer initially (mainly because it was on sale). The guy in the store recommended I buy it and said performance would be fine for simple word processing, which is all I needed. It was very slow when I tried to boot it and was confronted with a geek squad error screen before I got to even use it, which I'm guessing as just an error when they were checking it when it was returned. Not usually dissatisfied at Best Buy but this was disappointing.
