Purchased a year ago, at first I thought the mouse was the issues regarding the screen freeze. I switched out the mouse for another wireless mouse and still the same issues. I then purchased a wired mouse thinking this would resolve the issues however the CPU continues to freeze and I have to power down the CPU and reboot. I only purchased this CPU because the Best Buy specialist recommended it. I Should have stuck with the Dell

I purchased online an open box excellent condition all in one Lenovo computer. The shipment was not available. It took me almost 2 hours to get to the store in Brandon to pick up my order. Before I submitted the order, I read all the information about the computer, I spoke to several customer service reps and all of them stated that open box excellent meant: the computer looked brand new, included all original parts/accessories, and typically contained original packaging. At the store, they gave me NO BOX naked computer. There were NO accessories, no power cord, no instructions book. The staff was not helpful and not friendly. They said I got what I purchased. Horrible experience!

Needed a new computer. Wanted something not so big as far as PC part. Decided to try an all-in-one. This was an open box. Customer just wanted something smaller. It was originally 1000+ so the $779 was amaxing. It has worked amazing the year that l’ve had it.

Absolutely terrible product I have had this computer for 17 days 4 days ago I finally had time to set it up. After setting it up the issues began almost immediately. Every time you click on any video or comtent that has sound the computer will make a loud brrrr sound and then completely freeze up. Since Im just a few days outside of best buys terrible 14 day return policy there is nothing I can do other than send it to Lenova for repairs and hope it isn't a problematic computer.

Best Home/Remote Work Computer

Excellent desktop all-in-one computer. I have always been a huge fan of Lenovo. This checks all of the boxes for a home computer. It also works really well for remote work. I have never had an issue with it. It has been over 2 years since I've bought it and it still works amazing. Its also super convenient that it is an all-in-one so you dont have to worry about purchasing a tower. I will say that if you are planning on gaming or running something crazy like that, you may run into some lag or issues. But as far as a great at home computer for remote work and running basic softwares, you will have no issues. Also, it's touchscreen, so that's pretty cool. Also, it has a built in webcam that has facial recognition. It flips up and down into the monitor which is super cool.
10/10 recommend this for anyone looking for a new home computer.

Randomly shuts down while paused for only a short while- stays on but is totally unresponsive. Not sure if it’s a glitch or a bad and that’s why it was open box

Hello, TeresaB, we are sorry to hear that you have experienced an issue with your IdeaCentre All-In-One 5i 27. In advance, this is a lengthy response, however we want to give you and other readers of this response as much information as possible to help ensure your issue is resolved should you encounter something similar in the future. First, ensure that the installed software is compatible with Windows. Incompatible software can cause your computer to misbehave. Additionally, we recommend checking for updates through Windows Update settings. These updates can help resolve issues from operating system bugs to driver software improvements. To navigate there, select start on the taskbar (windows logo) or press the windows key on the keyboard then select Settings. In Settings, select Windows Update, and then select the Check For Updates button. Install any available updates and restart your PC if required. If you didn’t have any updates that required a restart, it’s still a good idea to restart your device to make sure any pending updates are installed. Additionally, check for updates in the Lenovo Vantage application that is preinstalled on Windows devices. You can check by opening the app, navigating to the device tab, and selecting the “check for updates” option. If there are updates to install, follow the onscreen directions to finalize those updates. If your issues persist after these steps, we also recommend that you reach out to Lenovo Tech Support at this number to work with a representative to rectify the problem: 866-426-0911.

Great one it works but a pain when you have to return it within a few months. It started having the ghost touch screen issue where Windows would be flying open and moving because the touch screen thought it was being used. I had such a hard time trying to shut off the touch screen while it was opening and closing all these windows. Ultimately I had to send it back to the company to have a new machine sent back to me. So when it does work, it is great but it seems that a lot of people have had long-term problems with it

Faulty product, worse customer support from Lenovo

Product stopped working out of nowhere after 2-3 months of light use. Best Buy is trying to help but I’m still awaiting a simple warranty claim refund from Lenovo. Lenovo has not been helpful at all, and need to resolve the issue ASAP. The software on this system is flimsy, there are glitches and freeze screens often. And clearly my very light usage took its toll when the thing just died on me.

Great all-in-one unit for small spaces. Works well when you don't have space for a tower and monitor. Can get a separate disc drive to plug in if needed. Had only some minor freezes quickly resolved with a hard restart. Otherwise no issues at all.
