    For the price point, and what it offers this laptop is more than enough if you’re using it for work. Plenty of memory, runs smoothly. Not used for gaming so not sure on those capabilities. Would recommend for most office jobs, students.

    For the price you cannot beat this item. The system is very responsive/fast. The screen has great resolution ... nice and smooth. The system itself is not so heavy it weighs you down in your carrying bag. The battery lasts several hours. No complaints!

    This laptop is way more powerful than I anticipated from the price tag. It has outperformed at nearly every checkpoint. Great budget friendly option. Sleek design and nice keyboard. I am very happy with my purchase and the Black Friday deals went crazy! Thank you Best Buy!

    Bought this computer to use for work. Needed something that could suport Zoom meetings and sharing the screen with websites that have a lot of images and graphics. It works well. No issues with screen sharing. It does not freeze or lag. Seems to run fast. Overall, good value for the price.

    Great for the money! 16gb ram is plenty for surfing and the i5 is good got office like tasks. Keyboard is solid and plastic is solid with little flex. Superior to many other brands cheaper offerings and better warranty support than most. Not as much bloatware than other brands. If you want gaming this is not for you

    Excellent laptop for the large 16GB memory, good integrated Iris Xe graphics, and metallic exterior. Can get my work done while still good on casual gaming. The i5-1335u really blows the Ryzen 7520u away.

    Good for casting use

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

    The laptop charges fast and is great with casting movies. I even plug the HDMI into the laptop and it'll last the movie and a few more hours of using it straight. Yet, for some reason if I play games on it the laptop dies extremely faster. Im not sure if it's the game I'm playing specifically but that's the only issue I had have. Also the speed of the mouse is good unless you're used to a very quick silent tap mouse because this one is a bit slower and you have to hear every click before it actually presses anything.

    Good laptop for the price. I only need it for basic file backups onto my hard drives. I wish it had a better driver to play bigger game files, but I can still play small games on it and I know it's not a gaming laptop. Battery life is decent and speed is much better than I expected.

    Packed with speed. Was getting tired of issues with my 1st gen i5 laptop. This Lenova has 16g of ram which is hard to find in the $500 range. For $300 this was a steal of a deal. After 1 week of use I am thrilled with this laptop. We have an old Lenova WIN7 that still works like new but cannot operate newer software, a Dell i5 that has always been too slow and an HP 1st gen i5 that, until recently, worked flawlessly.

    Bought the computer in flawless condition. Battery life was very questionable. Upgraded to latest windows 11 25h2. Every time I would turn it on it was a crapshoot on how much battery life it would have. Computer would be fully charged and battery indicator would show 1 1/2 hours then jump to 3 hours then 5minutes later then it would show 45 minutes battery 20 minutes later. I did place it on energy saver mode and performed all the steps for preserving the battery that Windows 11 and Lenovo suggested. I could literally see the battery bar at top of screen decreased in battery life capacity. The major culprit was it showed Microsoft edge browser consuming 45 to 55 percent of said battery power all the time whether I was on the internet or not. I even performed a couple of resets thinking I might have had a bad install to no avail. Lenovo is a great computer company, it is just that Microsoft really needs to fix their bugs, especially the latest update. I was stressing so much about this, I thought life is too short to contend with this issue all the time. Ended up returning the computer. Lenovo makes great computers and love the extra touches like the Lenovo Vantage program
