    Great compact Laptop

    Speakers are under the laptop so it create awful sound. web cam is very poorly designed. Window 10 took half of 2GB memory. You can increase it with SD card. If you gonna download or installed any program or software I suggest you save it to external storage. Overall you cant go wrong with this $119 Laptop.

    Junk! Malfunctioned within 11 days of purchase!

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

    Within 2 days of purchasing this laptop, my screen lost a pixel. Four days later, one of the USB ports stopped working. Five days after that, the entire audio system malfunctioned and playback of music and other sounds began coming out of the speakers completely distorted AND the headphone jack is totally dead. There is no way I can listen to any music or other audio on this laptop now. All of this happened within just 11 days of purchase and under very light use. I cannot believe what a piece of junk this product is. ALSO...Keep in mind that anyone who posts a product review here on the Best Buy site does not have the option of modifying their initial review, so they may have given this product 3 or more stars before it malfunctioned. Be warned...Do not buy this product! The warranty is good for only one year and you have to go directly through Lenovo and their customer service is atrocious! If you do buy this product and it breaks, plan on letting it sit broken for a while as you wait for Lenovo to decide whether or not your issues are actually covered under the warranty. That is all.

    Great product for the low cost. Very light weight and easy to travel with. Like other PCs the only complaint I have is it needs random updates from time to time. Other than that it is just fine. I would not hesitate to buy it again.

    Lasted Two Months, Wasted $200

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

    Bought this laptop from a Best Buy store in November 2015. Midway through January 2016, it started turning off by itself, after 5-10 min of use. Eventually, it stopped turning on at all. I sent it in to repairs, under the warranty. I got an email saying that the lcd was cracked, and that the repair (for the screen) would be $400+ whatever other issues they may find thats not covered by the limited warranty. It's strange. The LCD definitely wasn't cracked when it was starting to break, as the monitor was working fine for the 5-10 minutes it was on. It was definitely a hardware issue then, as the caps lock button didn't blink when I pressed it. I have also never dropped the laptop. My only guess is that is was damaged in transit, but I have no way to prove that, because apparently, I was supposed to "take pictures of it before sending it in". I also took great care to keep it secure (bubble wrap", but I guess it was useless. Anyway, I'm not paying double the price of the laptop to fix the screen, so they're shipping it back. Even if I replace the screen my self, I'm sure that there's an underlying hardware issue that hasn't been fixed yet. I might as well buy a new one, but there's no way I'm paying $200 for a laptop that will die after 2 months. Never buying a laptop this cheap again.

    Price Is The Best Thing About This

    You can't really expect much from a $150.00 computer so I wont complain to much. This is NOT a work horse computer. It is slow and lacks memory. It has lasted a year so I am satisfied.

    bad battery

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

    This computer would be totally fine for me if it was not for the battery. It's light, a good size, and able to do what I need it to for a pretty good price. After having it for only two months it no longer can hold a battery charge and goes down to 10 percent charge immediately after I unplug it. Really disappointing.
