    The Lenovo laptop does not provide all the features needed for optimal use for example: It is NOT compatible with ZOOM and therefore that app cannot be added to the laptop. It was the main reason why it was purchased.

    The product was clearly used, as it came with someone's work orders and all their bookmarks! The screen blinks black periodically, and it takes a while to load emails or social media messages. I just wanted it for some very basic stuff, and I'm struggling to do more than use excel/Word. I'm very disappointed.

    Great machine, but not for high-end gaming.

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars. It's not ideal for gaming, because of it's specs, but that should be obvious to most tech gurus. It is perfect for what it's intended to be used for - the office or home - such as internet browsing, simple programs, apps, and basically anything except gaming. Overall, a fully functioning and great machine for this purpose, strictly. If you want a gaming laptop, go with a Ryzen 5/7 or equivalent Intel. Although many people give Lenovo a bad rap, I actually like a lot of their laptops. Lenovo makes a good machine, and most of them last over 5 years, even if older they are durable. The volume is fine, and could be better, but this machine will function for any purpose. Overall, 4 stars out of 5, will get the job done! Extremely satisfied with Best Buy customer service and my purchase for what it's used for!
