garbage
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was defective upon purchase. Took me a couple weeks to set it up and find out it didn't work so the store wasn't able to take it back. Lenovo had me send it back and they kept it for a month. Disappointed. Paid full price for new and ended up with a refurbished computer and no refund or amendment to what I paid.

A Passable Desktop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The system comes with limited memory and it was difficult to get a 1TB hard drive. System is difficult to expand as the drives must be SSD (space wise). A good computer for a base model that will work well with someone who uses it for basic use, web browsing, email, word processing.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i Desktop Computer, model number 90NA0000US. This Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i Desktop Computer ships with a 30-day trial of McAfee Virus Protection Software installed. It will activate automatically with the initial activation of Windows 10 and protect your computer for the 30-day trial period. You do not need to use McAfee VPS. You can uninstall McAfee and use the free Windows Defender VPS that comes with Windows 10 or you can uninstall McAfee and then install your choice of any compatible 3rd party VPS. The key is to uninstall McAfee if you will not be using it, as there can only be one active VPS on the computer at a time. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows 10: https://service.mcafee.com/?locale=en-us&articleId=TS100162&page=shell&shell=article-view. If you have questions about your Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i Desktop Computer, we recommend you contact lenovo Tech Support for additional information at: 866-426-0911.
Don't waste your money or time
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Window 10 sucks can't do anything for a bunch of stupid ads. Some of the apps don't open sometimes Bill Gates and microsoft sucks. Microsoft app store sucks also, it really is poor excuse for software
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot for me.. Very slow
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was very unhappy with the result of this computer. The i3 processor was slow, lagged a lot in my opinion. I do a lot of multitasking, as well as fast typing, and this thing could not keep up. I was surprised because of all of the great reviews. So many people said this was a good computer. The look of it is very nice, the sliding piece on the front is a nice touch. Optical drive is extremely flimsy. I took this back for something faster unfortunately. If you are a heavy user, do not buy this or any computer with an i3 processor.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i Desktop Computer, model number 90NA0000US. This model ships with Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System and should not hang or freeze. 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 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.
Returned after a few days!!
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this PC. Had trouble from the beginning. On accounts that we never had problems with before kept getting knocked off. Other sites were slow to load. Bought a Dell from another competitor and have not had any of the problems we had with the Lenovo.

Bad experience
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was threatened by Brian Sutton when my check was rejected , but it was never even presented to my bank. I had to get my check and take it to my bank myself where it was deemed a good check. Sutton said he would give me a receipt , but he never did. Sutton left my printer not working.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUsed for a business and regret buying it.
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.No desktop displayed on screen and the secondary hdmi Display port quit working after 10 months. No help from Best Buy, online chat says exchange at store, in-store tells me to buy an adapter and call Lenovo... MAYBE they can help me. Waste of money and time.

SLOW, SLOW, SLOW
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this to replace my HP desktop that stopped working after about 5 years. I paid about the same price and expected this to be somehow even better (since technology has improved over the last 5 years) and the main difference I notice is how SLOOOOWWW this computer is. Not a happy customer. Would not recommend.
