Fast laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall I am quite pleased with this laptop. It is fast, plenty of memory, and a full 10880 HD display. Quite light for its size, don't expect the lightness of a Surface Book or SP4, but then again this is a fraction of their price. My only gripes is the lack of a back-lit keyboard, kind of a sharp edge around the keyboard area that can be annoying depending upon how you are sitting while using the computer. Lastly the battery life is not really great, only aboujt 3 hours unless you turn on Battery Save in Windows 10. I can understand this as the machine packs a quad-core CPU. It runs all my applications great, including Word, Excel, Quicken plus a bunch of games that I couldn't play on my previous computer which had a puny Intel dual core processor.

Blah!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This thing is a big piece of c rap. It restarts on its own constantly usueally every few minutes but I can use it up to an hour without restarting. Not sure if it is Windows 10 or the actual machine. After hours of research, seems to be a problem with the WiFi adapter. I've updated the driver and traded my bluetooth mouse in for an old fashioned wired one which seems to have solved the problem.

Good laptop for the price once the O.S. is updated
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Before purchasing I looked at the reviews and at that time they weren't all that good. Complaints were that this computer was slow and had problems connecting with the wireless. I went to the store and spoke with a geek squad member. Of all the computers he showed me with-in my price range I liked the lenovo the best. I asked him about the problems others reported and he said if I didn't like it once I got it home I could return it. I bought it, took it home, and began the startup process. For whatever reasons it took several hours, and a couple of tries to get the updates installed. It started to seem like the negative reviews were right on as far as being extremely slow. Once I finally got the latest version of Windows 10 installed the change was dramatic. The computer is plenty fast for what I do, i.e. email, youtube video, web surfing, and some midi music programming. I am still fighting with the bluetooth connection. But that may be my own fault in running a registry cleanup program as one of my attempts to get the speed increased. As a plus I found that the price of the computer was reduced after I bought it and since I was still within the "price match" period I went to BestBuy and without any hassle they refunded the difference to me. Oh, the sound on this is very good. It isn't sound bar quality but pretty close.

Very good for the price
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my son a few weeks ago and so far the computer works great. I noticed in other reviews some were not able to connect to wifi or had slow browser connection, I haven't experienced any of that. I didn't want to spend too much and I thought it was a great price for a disc drive, 8G, 1TB and A10 specs. It's not a gaming computer but my son is able to play Call Of Duty Black Ops 3 and he is satisfied with it. The laptop looks nice, it's light, the audio sounds great, it runs great and it was easy set up.

Good computer for $400
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good computer for the price. I opened edge with all of the computers on display under $600 and it was hands down the fastest. One of those was an i7. A10, 8G ram, 1T, Dolby, and disc drive for $400 = good deal. This computer is sturdier than I expected, but leaves a little to be desired (screen flex). If you want an equivalent ThinkPad (sturdier), you are going to have to pay for it. Buy it, use it for a few years, and then upgrade again. You still haven't spent a thousand dollars. That's my take on it.
