    We bought this for my wife's business venture. It has been great. The 10th Gen i3, works as fast as my Dell AiO with a i7-8700. Slim and elegant, it takes up little space. It is a Lenovo (formerly IBM Thinkpad), from my laptop experience, I trust their reliability and quality more than Dell actually.

    Great Media Computer

    I bought this to replace my old Media computer running PLEX. I've had good luck with Lenovo computers (multiple) in the past and thought I'd give this a shot. So far it's been excellent! The speed with the 8GB of memory works well for streaming in my network. My only complaint is that my external hard drives are plugged into the USB 3.0 jacks in the front right of the computer (which is where the only jacks apparently are for 3.0). To access this the face plate slides to the left side and then covers the DVD access. This means in order to access a DVD, nothing can be plugged into the USB ports on the right side. This isn't a really bid deal if you don't use the DVD much or in my case I have a separate USB DVD Drive besides the one mounted in the PC. Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.

    I'm very happy with my purchase of the Lenovo IdeaCentre Desktop tower. It is a nice size and very fast. It is a great value for the price. I counted off one star because of the slide feature on the front of the tower. It blocks the disc drive if you are using the USB drive. That is the only thing I wish were different.

    This computer has exceeded my expectations. It's fast, quiet and very easy to navigate. I like the ease of being able to add accessories just using the USB. I like the quietness of the keyboard and the preloaded software that it comes with. I would definitely recommend this and buy it again.

    I got this for my mother. She loves it. It is light years faster than her last PC. The slide of the case on the front to get to the disc drive is awkward at best. If you have a USB plugged in, you will have to remove it to get to the drive. Bad design.

    Quality Product But You Might Need to Add some RAM

    Quality product though it could use extra RAM since after a certain point it gets a little bogged down if you're using too many system resources. Outside of that have had about 6 weeks to use and operate the computer and its been relatively problem free outside of sometimes hanging up and more than likely a RAM upgrade of this model to 32 GB would make it even better.

    I got this for my kids for school and occasional gaming like Roblox and Minecraft. I doee the job but sometimes it studders when having alot of tabs open. The design is very simple and i like the sliding door for the ports in the front of the machine. It is expandable for adding a GPU and more RAM and HD. It is a good valuse for the price we paid.

    A rewarding experience with Lenovo's performance

    This is my first time buying a Lenovo. I like that it starts immediately and that it goes silent very shortly after I click the Sleep mode. I have been using it close to a month, not much time to really appreciate its features. But so far I am having a rewarding experience in terms of its performance.

    This is replacing a Dell that just quit. It is the first Lenovo I've purchased. Much faster than the old desktop. The Geek Squad did a great job bringing the Dell back to life and setting up the Lenovo. I highly recommend their services if you have time to make return visits for updates.

    So Work from home, and my employer has guidelines that my computer must meet in order to handle the high demand across many different applications and platforms simultaneously. This computer specs met rose requirements so I bought it. When I say I’m happy, I mean I am very happy. Right out of the box it performed and continues to perform like a champ.
