    Very good desktop. Towers are so small now.

    Towers are soooo small now! I haven't got a new desktop in over 5 years. It has come a long way, they are less than half the size than before. Love the design of this Lenovo tower. The power button is on the top, toward the very front of the tower. So much easier to turn it on when it's sitting on the floor or even if it's on your desk now. The vertical space going down the front is not an decorative feature if you pull it, it reveals a door that hides all the front inputs at least (4) USB ports. But get rid of the bloatware they install on all these drives and you will have more room. Windows 10 runs so fast on this. Startup time takes seconds now.

    Delivered without a hitch, arrived on time and in good condition. The desktop came exactly as described hooked up and in minutes. Performance is very good and I was able to configure it to my personal needs quickly. Great buy for the price and the 1TB hard drive is more than enough for my usage.

    As a gift to my son he loved it!!! The processor speed is very responsive he says. He loves the graphics for gaming, as well the HD memory is more than enough for the things he does. This unit has the capabilities to upgrade as time goes unlike past models that were limited to what you could upgrade.

    On January 12, 2021 I had purchased a Lenovo IdeaCenter 510A I3 from Best Buy on line. I loaded the data from my failing computer onto this purchase only to have the computer lock up and go into a diagnose and repair loop. So the computer was returned to Best Buy's local store on January 21, 2021. There was no computer of the same model number was available but the Best Buy clerk offered the Lenovo IdeaCentre 510 A I5 at the price paid for the returned model, which I received on January 24, 2021. When I contacted Lenovo on line to register the 510A I5 the data on the screen showed that the warranty had started in October 2020 and would expire in December of 2021. Lenovo changed the warranty period to January 21, 2021 to January 20, 2022. This information about the warranty has made me think that the 510A I5 may be a used computer that was sold to me as a brand new unused computer. The computer is very nice and compact but I do not like the vertical optical drive.

    I'm using it for music playout with active software music processing. With the i5 Intel it doesn't even work up a sweat. And a bonus for us old schoolers, it has a CD-Rom DVD drive in it. Not gonna find that much these days. It's a solid performer for a desktop machine. So far zero problems.

    Looks good, small enough to sit on desk. Seems much faster than our old laptop. We have been using it for a little over a month now and are happy with performance so far. It did take us a few days to get it set up as we are not very computer smart and did not pay for Geek Squad help.

    I shopped black friday for an HP i7 pc with an installed optane drive, but the store did not have any and so I bought this instead for the same price. It looks good specification wise and I hope it it performs as well. I will follow up after using it for a bit. I was hoping for the new optane drive,installed in a pc,but not on sale and already installed in the Pc they were out of my price range

    Needed a desktop computer because I was going to give my laptop to my grandpa. Did not really take my laptop anywhere so might as well get a desktop. This one has not disappointed me at all. For the price, it does everything that I wanted it to and more. A very good desktop for those who are going to do some work.

    I bought this computer to replace a Dell that has seen it's better days. It was easy to set up and so far it's performance has been better than hoped for. The tower looks sharp and is smaller than the one it replaced so it takes up a lot less space. I am very happy with this computer and would consider buying it again.

    My Dell died after only 4 years. Went in to see if the Geek Squad can do anything and well there was nothing they can do. The motherboard died and it was suggested to get a new one. Micheal at Geek Squad was a great help. He suggested this Lenovo based on what we use the computer for. And it's great. Its fast, easy to use and overall great. I would recommend this and Geek Squad!

    I bought this Ideacentre 510A for my medical office use. It works great as expected. It is an affordable yet powerful desktop. Lots of ports. I upgraded it to Windows 10 Pro for better security. I had a Mainpine fax modem installed in it. It has to be always on because it’s also my fax server but no issues at all. It’s my 7th Lenovo product in the office.

    Its quiet and fast. Very good for home use or small business. I always loved Dell but their quality went down in my opinion. I decided return Dell and ordered this one instead. Very glad I did it. Its like a day and night. Way faster then Dell and way more quiet. I am very happy with this computer so far. I may order another one for my mom.

    Over all awesome performance! Did not get the 5 stars because the shift key on the keyboard keeps getting stuck and there is no way to exchange it unless I return the whole unit, and my work programs are already installed. Will have to spend more money to get a new keyboard in the near future which adds to the price.
