I had to purchase a laptop with Windows10 because Microsoft was not going to support Windows7 in 2020. I chose the Lenovo because it suited my needs at this time. It had Windows10. I purchased the additional programs and security support. So far, it works fine. Still getting used to the minor differences from my old laptop.

I needed an inexpensive windows computer for my contracting work. It isn’t slow and allows me to do what I need. It’s a good computer for a college student who don’t want to spend lot of money. I would recommend an external hard drive.

Out of the box this laptop is slower than molasses. upgrade the ram to 8gb and put a SSD in it and it gets a little bit better. great for word processing, and maybe youtube videos, thats about it. keyboard feels nice though.
