    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.

    The laptop is pretty awesome for everyday things. The only thing I am not happy about is that the colors are not true. This laptop was gotten for building a website and making post for my business. This is later how I discovered the colors are not true! However, I would buy again as it runs super smooth and can have many of windows open at a time no issues.

    This laptop has been fast and reliable for everyday use. I mainly use it for work and video calls, and it handles both smoothly. The system feels up to date, and overall performance has been solid. The only drawback is the display—while it’s advertised as Full HD, it looks a bit foggy or muted, which could be intentional for eye comfort but still makes the screen seem less sharp. Aside from that, it’s been easy to use and a dependable device for daily tasks.

    I was looking for a very reasonable laptop that still had some decent specs. The laptop was for an older person that does not need a high end laptop. This one fit the bill. Great price and when setting it up iy performed better than expected. Way better. would have liked a little larger SSD but they only had half that much in data. So far a great purchase.

    [Employee of bestbuy] 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
