    I am very happy with this computer. It does everything i need it to do which is just the basics of watching videos and chatting on websites, etc. the price was great. i think it was like $500 but it was on sale plus i got the open box for additional discount. And i got i a $30 gift card too for signing up for a BestBuy credit card. it cost me under $300

    I have only used my new Lenovo desktop computer for a few days. I went on vacation shortly after purchasing this computer and have not had a chance to use it very much since returning home. So far it is easier to use than the Dell desktop that the Lenovo replaced. I look forward to enjoying the Lenovo for many years to come.

    The open box price and overall computer it’s very nice. But The sliding door in front keeps coming off , and I’m not sure if something is broken or it just comes off that easily. So I’d like to have this problem in the notification Incas of future problems.

    Excellent value. Lots of ports front and back with USB 3 in several formats on the front. It is a little weird that the front panel must slide side to side to reveal the disc drive and in so doing covers the USB ports on the other side.

    We were not familiar with the Lenova brand computer until now. It is by-far much better than my previous Dell computer. It runs fast and we'll. I am able to pull info from the web that I never knew was available. Microsoft programs also run fast. I will definitely purchase this brand again without hesitation.

    The Lenovo IdeaCentre SI Desktop is a great price for a home computer that will do anything you would ever need. The only complaint is for those who aren't real tech savy the instructions or lack there of made the initial installation more complicated than it needed to be.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 5i Desktop Computer. This model ships with Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System and provides both audio as well as onscreen step by step initial setup and Windows 10 Activation instructions.

    I am enjoying the space-saving size of my new tower unit for my desktop PC and the much larger hard drive at my disposal. All processes are much faster and I no longer require additional external drives like I had when I went in to have my previous PC updated.

    This thing is a 5i, but it got the kick of a I7. It does handle several heavy number crunching programs all had once while I play my video games, I'm impressed. Love it.

    smaller than my last tower, running Vista. Not a clue how to use or navigate around Windows 10. Have it connected via hdmi cable to my smart tv as a monitor. Took forever to find out to turn off the auto syncing to One Drive cloud.
