Bought this on Black Friday sales at BEST BUY, also had the "My Offer" (the knock off 10% for your birthday), for $611.99.
I like it. I also enjoy the CORTANA feature (voice and inspired by the A.I in the game "Halo").
But, you might wanna pick up a higher quality keyboard and mouse. The ones supplied are not high quality.
Fast machine and easy to use. Good quality.
P.s. The little piece to plug into back of the monitor for the WIFI keyboard/ mouse is INSIDE the mouse. You just pull it out and plug it into the back of it. :)
You're welcome.

Here is a link to instructions for switching users within Windows 10: https://blog.techinline.com/2018/03/07/3-ways-to-switch-user-in-windows-10/ Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. 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 programing 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.

I have only had this machine for about 3 weeks and I spent one of those traveling. But the screen is nice and large. Hooking up an additional monitor is simple enough. Start up out of the box is guided and easy to do. For a home computer it is still fairly maneuverable; no heavier than larger laptops but not something you would use lying in bed. It comes with the wireless keyboard and mouse. It seems to have good speed and if I could figure a way to get Microsoft to shut up, already, with the constant notifications it would be fantastic. HINT: turning off the notifications doesn't stop the notifications.

Harder and harder to find either desktop or AIO computer at reasonable price. Especially more so now since manufacturers are eliminating items to their computers we thought were essentials.
That is why this AIO Lenovo represents such a great value. The AMD Ryzen CPU represents a real change for AMD, and is every bit as competitive as the new chips from Intel. This computer is really fast. It also has a great touchscreen, with very good and bright resolution, and the computer does have a CD/DVD optical drive. Simply stated, there is nothing in its price range from their
competitors that come close to this unit, especially given the Best Buy price. Highly recommended.

Has all the power we need.
Able to shift between programs with right price range. Have to buy programs that came installed in previous models like Office, which you have to renew each year. Not good.

This is so easy to use. Everything is installed. The screen is just the way I like it, nice and big. Programs are easy to use. Love the wireless keyboard and mouse. This is a wonderful product. It has the look of contemporary and I love you. It runs smooth.

My wife was looking for a new PC since she was starting school. She needed something that would not be slow but nothing too fast since she was only going to do school work on it. We priced regular PCs and did not have an AIO in mind until she saw this one. At first she wanted an old fashioned PC but once she played with this AIO at the store she fell in love with it. She really liked the fact that there was no need for a tower and all the cords that go with it. She liked the easy set up and the more clean look of an AIO PC. I have not heard any negatives about the AIO since my wife has been using it.
If you are looking for a PC and dont mind not being able to upgrade or fix the PCs hardware issues in the future, then this AIO is the way to go.

Great buy, I bought it for $550, its an excellent deal. The monitor is bright, crisp and vivid. The touch screen is practical and ergonomic, and very responsive. The computer is relatively fast. Its not an SSD or high end processor, but it gets the job done very well for basic to mildly advanced tasks. Highly recommend.

I was looking for a computer, with a faster processor, for a reasonable price. After listening to the salesperson explain this computer to me, I decided to purchase it. Installation and setup very easy, and for a home computer it’s amazingly fast, I Love it.
And thanks to the Microsoft Specialist for his help.. (glasses)

This is my first all-in-one computer after many years of owning desktops and laptops. I really enjoy this model. Lenovo makes it easy to set up and use. It's plenty fast with 8GB RAM for my small business with a roomy 1TB hard drive. And the price is very reasonable.

Help my elderly neighbor replace their 10 year old desk top PC. They wanted something easy to use and saves space. This fit the bill. They are both over 80 years old, and have had no issues using this computer. They love the touch feature and like Cortina.
