    This computer works great to get some basic stuff done; emails, facebook, word processing, etc. Boot times are quick, but the processor lacks a bit. Bumping up to 8gb ram might help.

    This is a tough one. I purchased an open box product, but was told it appeared that it hadn’t been used. However, when I started it up the memory showed over 90% full. I could have barely open anything. Factory reset it then it moved a little better, but memory still showing 80% full. Just worried it wouldn’t really do what I needed so we returned it. It was great physical condition.

    The computers design and appearance is very attractive, however the running speed and processing is PAINFULLY slow. I continue to work through updates and hope that with a visit to the geek squad I can get it up and running. So disappointing, I would have returned it but didn’t realize the window is only 14 days from purchase rather than 30, so also sad to have lost that option.

    It’s nice as far as size and being a clear screen but it processes really slow. If I have multiple pages open it’s always asking if I want to close the page or wait for it to load. And sometimes it will just spin and take 3-5 minutes before I’m able to do anything

    Extremely unhappy customer

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

    I used this laptop for less than 6 months the way that it was intended for use, with NO dropping or any other means of accidental breakage. One day it cracked upon opening and the whole case started to bend, so much so that I can’t open the laptop without strategically holding certain places down to make sure there is no further cracking. I called Lenovo’s customer service number to explain the situation and I was told that it would cost anywhere between $100-$200 to get it fixed through them. They were not able to offer me any kind of discount even though a product that should’ve lasted me 3-5 years MINIMUM barely lasted me 6 months. I will be using that money to buy a laptop that isn’t Lenovo and I wouldn’t recommend this laptop to anyone.

    I really like this laptop and bought it for school. I don't have much downloaded on it yet but it does run a tad slow given that I just bought it. All in all, I'm happy with my purchase.

    The reason I gave this device 4 stars; the LapTop does not have enough memory/storage space. I would recommend it for file storage only.
