Not good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this computer because wanted to get something inexpensive. This computer was cheap and i see why. Battery life is terrible, extremely slow, have to keep plugged in or else the screen goes black. Was not worth the purchase in my opinion.

Basic Internet Browsing Only
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this computer to work from home. I had to run 3-4 programs at once and this computer couldn’t handle it. It’s pretty cheap and I would only recommend this for college or high school students that need to write research papers. I pay. For the fastest internet speed so it wasn’t the connection.

Super slow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Honestly It’s not worth the price at all! You’re better off spending the extra $100 for a far more reliable laptop that what Lenovo has to offer. Sadly i wasn’t able to make it to a store before the return policy period. I would recommend if you’re desperate and this is your last option for a laptop.

Excellent small laptop

Not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money. It says it comes with 1 year MS 360 included. Not instructions on how to redeem. No help when contacting support. Super slow after saving even a couple of documents. Would've returned, but my dog got ahold of the box SMH.
