    Bought this Lenovo desktop on sale for my daughter's graphic design business. I was looking for a PC with an Intel 7 processor and at least 12MB ram and a large disk drive. This PC met all criteria including a 1TB hard drive which is needed for large graphics files. Other PC's in the price range came with 256GB Solid State drives are great for access speed but don't have the capacity graphics file storage but would be good with cloud based storage and applications. The PC set up easily and is blazing fast with the Intel 7 processor..great for doing processor intensive graphics design. Its small footprint allows it to really be positioned on the desktop for easy access. The only issue I have with it is the sliding front cover which in one position allows access to the USB ports and slide to the other position for DVD drive access so you would have to unplug any front USB connections to access the DVD drive unless you connect up to the rear USB ports. +

    This is a nice compact desktop. It fits nicely behind my monitor. It is quiet, no loud HDD noises. The instructions that come with is suck! They have basically no information. The front panel slides from side to side. DO NOT PULL IT!!!!! One side has the CD the other is power and USBs. This machine has 7 USB, 1 USB-C, a front jack for headsets and a plug in the back for speakers. It has an HDMI and VGA for 2 different monitors.

    My sister and niece needed a computer that would allow them to play Sims, school work, and basic home office and small business stuff and this works great. It was a good price for what it is and was actually in stock to buy while at the store. it took my sister quite a while to realize that the front panel slides to high the ports when not in use and it was hilarious when her daughter looked at her and then at the computer and slide the panel over.

    Lots of Power in a Little Size

    It is powerful and compact. The cover is plastic and difficult to move to access features; feels like you'll break the cover with the force necessary to side it to access features.

    Really odd case design with the sliding face place. The chipsets are really odd and will not be automagically detected by Windows should you blow away the machine. Also, I bought two of these and neither came with any media or documentation. Overall, a decent machine. No real complaints. Just image the whole drive should you blow it away. That way you can get back the recovery partition with the Windows installation and proprietary drivers.

    I have only had this product about 1 month. This is also the first time I have bought a lenovo product. So far I am extremely happy about it. It has strong speed and is small enough to store on top of your desk. I will likely give an additional update the longer I have it, but for now this was a good buy for me.

    So far it's been a good replacement computer for my last one. I find I have great confidence in Lenovo computers, and am very happy I invested in this one and the one before. I like the fact that it is solid state and smaller than earlier models.

    I like this machine a lot. The only downside I see is the front cover which slides left/right, as it then allows only one side or the other to be used.

    wow this is a fast machine. I love everything about it but one thing. The front cover slides left to right. Slide right to uncover the DVD drive. Slide left to uncover the power, front USB and memory card slots. Can't do both at same time. Had to unplug USB drive to change DVDs. Other than that, great unit.

    The hardware component of this purchase is very functional and a good value for the price. There is however a real problem with the software: Microsoft Windows 10 S, Home! Microsoft continues it's monopolistic and predatory practices: the software is a straitjacket that attempts to force you to use microsoft software in almost every instance, even when there are outside applications other than microsoft, that are far better, and which you prefer to use. Manufacturer's must stop forcing Microsoft OS on consumers, and start building machines with Linux OS!
