Does what I need it to do

Lasted 1 Month
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got the laptop for Christmas, now a month later, it is totally dead. Wont turn on, wont charge, nothing. Took it back to Best Buy with the original receipt only to be told that since I didn't pay extra for the Geek Squad coverage, I have to work through the manufacturer to get it fixed.

For my wife
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.She wanted a laptop. It could be faster, I may still upgrade to an SSD for that. But for a budget laptop, can't argue.

Too Bad
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A week after the Geek Squad agent set up the system the cursor would be taken over by the system. The only way to correct the problem is to power down and start over. After three attempts by the Geek Squad and two attempts by Lenovo technical support the problem continues. Very disappointing..

Posted .You may want to consider turning off automatic Windows 10 updates. This way, you will be able to create a restore point on your system before you allow the update. The system was working after Geek Squad set it up. Some time goes by, possibly an automatic Windows 10 update occurs. It conflicts with old drivers and creates issues. You can follow the link below to Lenovo.com support-drivers to look for new driver updates for your specific device. Create a restore point before you make changes or download new software:

good product
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very basic laptop. Was very pleased when I bought it. Quite fast and okay graphics. But as I was using it more and more, it was going slower. I am a heavy laptop user, and I multitask every time. I was also using it for my photo editing and it cannot compensate with the processes i'm doing. I had to return it because of that.

Not too bad
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is lighter weight and thinner than the HP I had before, but with more RAM and a bigger hard disk. Like others I have found the keyboard to be somewhat flexible, which is more of an annoyance than a fault. The screen is bright and the colors seem to be accurate for what my needs are. The DVD drive was a must-have for me. I find it interesting that some consumers out there buy about the cheapest, most basic laptop they can, then gripe about not being able to do heavy-duty gaming on it, and base their rating on that. Guys (and gals), spend more bucks and get something that can handle the tasks you will impose on it. One thing I was able to do with the HP that I can't with this Lenovo is I could remove the battery from the HP and run it strictly on the power cable. The battery is not easily removed on the Lenovo, but I didn't mark it down for that. Overall, I'm happy with the performance and screen size of this, and would recommend it to someone looking for a non-gaming laptop.
