    SUPER SLOW LAPTOP OUT OF THE BOX!!!

    Worst laptop ever. SUPER SLOW RIGHT OUT OF THE BOX. NOTHING DOWNLOADED OR INSTALLED AND IT TAKES FOREVER TO RESPOND TO CLICKS, OPENING FOLDERS,ETC. Worst part is this was bought as a Christmas gift on Black Friday, by the time it was given as the Christmas present, it was out of the return period so best buy wouldn't take it back for a return. Now I'm stuck with a super slow laptop. Worst purchase I've made with best buy, will never do this again.

    You get what you paid in my opinion this not a fully functional computer and you’re better off getting a Chromebook as the os will be better. Brought this in an emergency and it’s been nothing but disappointment. It crash upon start up and constantly freezes just doing the bare minimum like signing in or changing the volume in settings. Does not connect to all wifi. I would have gave this a one but given the price I will at least say it’s a cheap buy. Mines will be returned today if you’re looking for an open box on for even cheaper.

    Bought this just to have an extra pc to print emails from for home and this is slower than even a 15 year old netbook it's replacing. This Lenovo took about 5 minutes just to pull up a simple email browser with zero installed, bare bones right out of the box. I would definitively not trust this laptop to run anything at all, I'm absolutely puzzled how any company would sell this as a "functional" computer in any sense of the word.
