    Great resolution and very fast. Previous laptop seemed OK, however, was starting to get quirky. This one really performs dramatically better.

    I tried an HP but the keys felt cheap, and this one, while still a budget-minded laptop, it feels higher quality. Stick with an i5 or higher. 8 GB memory is fine for most basic computing. Chances are if you need more memory for what you are doing you will need higher end equipment overall, so for folks just wanting a good solid machine this one is a good choice.

    Excellent laptop for the sale price. Sleek color and design. Display is beautiful—clear HD and matte make it easy to look at for long periods of time with no glare or awkward viewing angles. 8GB of RAM makes it a little on the slower side but overall runs very smoothly due to the strong processor. Looked for ages for the perfect budget school and work laptop and this is it!

    This laptop has all of the basic features, and runs well. Could easily be used for a home laptop, but struggles running cartain software. If you are a student, this would be fine, but you might want something with a higher processing speed.

    I got this laptop because my Macbook wasn’t able to use Excel or Powerpoint and I needed them for my college classes. One benefit I didn’t even think about was the fact that Steam games work on this! The fan can get a little loud if you use it for long enough but overall it’s a great laptop. I would recommend this to all incoming college freshman

    Love it. It is perfect for what I needed it for. A backup pc. It was reasonably priced. I haven't had any issues. The touch screen is great and numeric pad awesome for accounting. I wish it had more memory like 1TB. SInce Microsoft updates take up most. Better than a broken cromosone chrome book

    Imagine my delight when I turned my new Lenovo computer on and it worked! Woohoo! It's exactly what I needed since all three of my others failed! They were good in the beginning, too, but now they are failures and I have a new "favorite!" and it was very inexpensive since I got the black Friday deal! I've now reached the limit of my useful information, but this machine really does everything that I want it to.

    I needed a laptop to manage the website and emails for a club that I was elected as secretary of. I didn't want to spend a lot since this is a volunteer position but, I needed something that would be efficient and able to handle the workload. This does the trick. The memory and storage are perfect and it doesn't bog down when I have mulitple window open.

    Bought for my wife as a gift. She loves it. Likes the touchscreen and ease of initial setup. Only minor complaints, keyboard not backlit, McAfee preinstalled is a no, but it included a Norton with lifelock free 6 months so she switched to it, touchpad is not great (bought a mouse and wireless keyboard anyway so no big deal. Overall a very good deal. If there was a way to do 4.5 stars, that would have been more accurate.

    I came into the store recently in search of a new laptop for work after mine unexpectedly broke. It had been years since I last bought one, and honestly, I was feeling a bit overwhelmed and out of the loop when it came to current tech. Thankfully, I was helped by an amazing agent who completely turned the experience around. She was incredibly patient, knowledgeable, and genuinely cared about helping me find the right fit. She took the time to walk me through all my options, answered every single question I had (and I had a lot!), and made sure I understood everything before making a decision. What really stood out to me was how she didn’t just sell me a laptop—she made sure I went home with something that exceeded my needs. Her service was thoughtful, thorough, and far beyond what I expected. I left the store not just with a great device, but also feeling confident and completely satisfied with my purchase. This kind of above-and-beyond service deserves recognition. I walked in stressed and unsure walked out happy, informed, and ready to tackle work again. Huge thank you to her and the team!
