Mediocre and inadequate service
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this in March and have found the RAM terribly inadequate (4 gig). Trying to get RAM upgrade has been tedious and, so far, unsuccessful. Best Buy does not have the RAM needed, nor can they get it. This web page's questions list three different capacities for upgrade: 8 gig (Lenovo rep), 18 gig (in the specs), and 32 gig (a user). I need at least 16 to run the programs I need. I would not buy this model again.

Not a bad computer
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this computer mainly for video playback and it does an excellent job at that... It's a little low on RAM but that can be fixed pretty easily... The only thing that really bugs me about this computer is the preloaded obnoxious software from the manufacturer that's always trying to update itself...

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaCentre 310s Desktop ships with just two adware programs, a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 (as part of Windows 10 operating system) and a 30-day trial of McAfee virus protection. Lenovo computers ship with one of the cleanest factory software installs within the consumer computer industry. If you are getting popup alerts, they are coming from the McAfee Virus Protection software, alerting you that the trial period is over and your computer is not protected from virus attack. If you have installed another 3rd. party virus protection software, you need to uninstall McAfee. There can only be one active virus protection software on the computer. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows 10:  https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s55728c97_466d_4ddb_952d_05484ea932c6/Page29.jspx?wc.contextURL=%2Fspaces%2Fcp&articleId=TS101331&_afrLoop=1355161020222084&leftWidth=0%25&showFooter=false&showHeader=false&rightWidth=0%25¢erWidth=100%25#!%40%40%3FshowFooter%3Dfalse%26_afrLoop%3D1355161020222084%26articleId%3DTS101331%26leftWidth%3D0%2525%26showHeader%3Dfalse%26wc.contextURL%3D%252Fspaces%252Fcp%26rightWidth%3D0%2525%26centerWidth%3D100%2525%26_adf.ctrl-state%3Dx25crirbo_9

Good computer for the money
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought a refurbished PC about 2.5 years ago and started getting error messages frequently. I found this Lenovo on the deal of the day and decided to order it. The price was good as were reviews. I am still adjusting to it but it is functioning quite well. It's faster and more reliable than the last 2 I've had.

Good computer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nicely packaged! Easy to use looking forward to using it mostly for storing pictures and music. Fan or drive a little noisy but it’s tolerable.

Posted .If the fan within your Lenovo IdeaCentre 310s Desktop seems to be running all the time on maximum cooling, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will increase the system workload which causes the fan to work longer and harder. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

good computer but some annoying things
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer is good but could use a bit more RAM and the MaCaffee popping up all the time is really annoying. I'd suppose Lenova gets a lot of money for it and it can be disabled but so annoying. I'd never get Mcaffee just because of how annoying it was.

Posted .We hope that the issue with McAfee Virus Protection software has been successfully resolved by this time. There is a 30-day trial of McAfee Virus Protection software installed on the computer. If you are seeing pop up messages from McAfee, that means the 30-day trial period has ended and your computer is unprotected. If you have installed another 3rd party virus protection, uninstall the McAfee software, as it will cause conflicts with your chosen virus protection software. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows 10:  https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s55728c97_466d_4ddb_952d_05484ea932c6/Page29.jspx?wc.contextURL=%2Fspaces%2Fcp&articleId=TS101331&_afrLoop=1355161020222084&leftWidth=0%25&showFooter=false&showHeader=false&rightWidth=0%25¢erWidth=100%25#!%40%40%3FshowFooter%3Dfalse%26_afrLoop%3D1355161020222084%26articleId%3DTS101331%26leftWidth%3D0%2525%26showHeader%3Dfalse%26wc.contextURL%3D%252Fspaces%252Fcp%26rightWidth%3D0%2525%26centerWidth%3D100%2525%26_adf.ctrl-state%3Dx25crirbo_9

Great Buy for Value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great buy for value. The only problem I has was it did not have the usb-c port or more than 1 HDMI port. Other than that this desktop tower is a great buy for the price. If you do not need a UBS-C port then I would highly recommend.

Bought for my son
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I can't say much about the item, as I purchased it for my son. He has not had any complaints about it. He wanted something to play games on and I wasn't going to pay $1500 on a gaming computer so we compromised on this. He enjoys it so I assume it's a win.
