Lenovo Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop all around is great, loads at a decent rate for what take at hand need to be done. Or even for the slightest ease of gaming. Nothing new. Older styled games.

||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good overall laptop for doing school work on and browsing the internet. The screen is not as bright as the higher prices unit’s but it gets the job done
I would recommend this to a friendGreat laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had to make a quick purchase due to a work from home order from work. My laptop is a MacBook Air and the remote work screen was way to small on that already small screen. I purchased this because of the price, size and quick pick up from a local Best Buy. I lasted less than 20 minutes under windows 10s and had to go to regular windows, once I did that no issues. Battery holds the charge good and it’s fast when dealing with my remote hook up. Great purchase even thought I prefer my Mac, Lenovo has never steered me wrong.

Basic laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If you just need a basic laptop for email and the internet this works great. Not recommend for working from home on it, not enough memory or processing power.
I would recommend this to a friendA very serviceable computer once you wipe it clean
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer works well overall, especially for someone with light computing needs and low storage needs. I highly recommend removing the junk that comes with it before you use it. If you do a clean Windows 10 install, be aware that this laptop uses a non-standard storage controller that requires a special driver, so you won't even be able to install Windows 10 without downloading the special driver from the Lenovo website and feeding it into Windows setup during the disk partitioning process.

Good value laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Love it...the laptop suits all the needs of my kids..my only complaint is that the extra storage via micro sd card is only expandable to 64 gig per the lenova website

Too slow!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Liked the price and thought the flash memory would give it better processing times than a standard disc drive, but once we got set up and everything updated, it just crawled in turtle mode. I was pretty let down and had to return it.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing slower than expected performance. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
Certainly not meant for "demanding" programs
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If there is someway to upgrade the processor and memory, I would be real happy. Otherwise, this device is sorely limited. Core clock speed is 600 mhz. 2000 is a base speed for what most people expect a laptop to do for them.

Not new
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.there was no indication that this laptop wasn't new, that it was refurbished. I have found other locations associated with this laptop so I know it isn't. Upon further examination, it has become clear that it is in fact used.

Not good
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straight out of the box, the computer was very slow and laggy. After using it for a couple days, it started to get worse. It couldn’t load youtube well and it runs photoshop horribly. I guess the computer is good for the price you pay.

It’s a good computer for kids.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a good computer. I got it for my daughter for school the only reason I don’t give it a 5 stars is because it’s not compatible with google chrome.So she can’t do all her school work in the laptop because some of them requires to download google chrome and it saids it’s not compatible.

Slow AF
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I kind of hate it. It's painfully slow, like AOL in 1998 on dial-up slow. It was supposed to come with mcafee and MS Office, nope had to pay for it. I highly recommend you not get this.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Functional and Reliable
||Posted . Owned for 8 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a really inexpensive laptop that I basically use for email, paying bills, and surfing the net when not on my phone. It is not super fast but it doesn’t matter because I am not playing games or working on it. Good laptop for low demand tasks, storing files, viewing PDFs, etc.
I would recommend this to a friendGood but not great
