    I got this computer to use when I travel and even though I've only used it three times it seems that it will serve my needs. Price and size were the main factors in making this purchase. It is a small basic computer great for email, facebook and searching the internet and it would make a pretty good computer for a high school student. It seems like is sturdy and well made. So far , so good!

    Bought this so she could work while on the couch or in bed. Wanted something lightweight with a full-size keyboard. No much in the way of bells and whistles and the touchpad is oddly missing a scroll function, but for the price is a good buy.

    I bought this Lenovo during the Best Buy anniversary sale for a ridiculously low price. I have a bigger (17") laptop and figured this would be good for coffee shops typing, etc. But I find myself using it all the time.. It's not a powerhouse but all I do is surf the web, write, and email. For that it's perfect. All in all, a good deal.

    Ny husband is a huge Lenovo fan, as all of his laptops are this brand. My electronics are all Apple. I was on holiday and needed a laptop to work on my thesis since I did not bring mine. I read the reviews and chose this one. It is pretty cool...great battery life, compact, fast, nice features and works pretty fast. I'm now a fan.

    Daughter needed a small portable laptop for college and this fit the bill. It is perfect. She loves it, super lightweight, really efficient. She travels between eight classes each week with it inside of a sleeve and a drawstring bag on her back. Not a burden and powerful enough to run several tasks at once. Great price, too!

    Bought this on sale for $120 and it is perfect for why I purchased it...I needed something inexpensive to take on trips for catching up on emails, writing letters and remoting into some of my office computers to check setups, make minor changes, etc.(I have a MacBook and just don't like the idea of losing/breaking a $1k+ lappie.) It does all that I ask of it quite well. I would have given this 5 stars; however, the touch pad is just basic and doesn't do tasks like scrolling using gestures. Also, I purchased a bluetooth mouse to use and it loses it's connection regularly (tried it on another device and had no issues, so it had to be the laptop, not the mouse). Small, light weight, decent screen, acceptable keyboard feel, long battery life and all this for a minimal price that, to me, is astounding. One year of Office 365 is included, too! Quite snappy of a performer for basic tasks with Win 10, too. Perfect for what it does, especially at this price point.

    I am very pleased with my laptop. I enjoying using it. I carry it to school every day because it is so lightweight and durable. It has a lot of features that most bigger & more expensive laptops have and at the price you offered for the laptop it was a steal. Thank you, Best Buy!

    This computer provides great speed and quick responses. It does not lag and is very quiet. It's not a gaming machine beyond its sleek look and price, but am upgrade to a better graphics card can help. Some of the games that I tried were buggy anyway such as Doom and NBA 2K17, so it's not all the computer's fault. Overall, it's a great buy and something different and more powerful than all of these value laptops, and it proves that the Tower is still a major player in computing today.

    Purchased 6 of these for one of our clients who wanted to provide their patients with the ability to apply for financing and complete internal reviews of their experience. Being an avid Apple user, my first instinct was to purchase iPads mini's but once I saw this product in person that thought quickly went away! I would definitely compare these laptops to the size, weight and basic functionality of the iPad mini with the advantage of having a keyboard and without the bigger price tag. I could see these being of great value to small businesses for the same purpose or students who complete most of their work in cloud based environments and don't need much memory. Great product at a great price. Definitely recommend.
