    Great deal! I was a little worried about getting a refurbished laptop but this one performs well. Looks like new. Booted up quickly and has worked great for my needs. The laptop isn't perfect. The screen isn't the greatest quality but is manageable. I like the keyboard and the build quality is high for the price.

    Nifty little laptop I use for my work related stuff. The only problem I have is to start it, you have to first plug it in. It's fine and fast after that.

    I was nervous at first about purchasing a refurbished laptop, but this exceeded my expectations! I use this for work and it is excellent! No issues whatsoever, I would have thought it was brand new. I am pleased with the memory, processor, and overall quality of this laptop.

    I bought this for my grandmother to replace her old laptop running windows 8. So far it’s running and performing well and was relatively easy to get set up.

    Cant review how it actually functions because I returned it as soon as it was delivered. Found out the ram was soldered to the board. Why Lenovo? No matter how well it performs, making it nonupgradable is always a problem.

    It's not quite as fast as I thought it would be, but that's not a super big deal for me. I cannot get it to connect to my home wifi network. I've been having to use my phone's mobile hot spot. I'm not sure why it'll connect to that but not my wifi router. So that's irritating. But you get what you pay for.
