    I pick up this laptop for 200$, I needed a laptop to pay some bills online, for resume, job applications and also to use Microsoft word. This computer can do all that and it’s not slow. Is not heavy so I can take it to Starbucks or anywhere. Also, I download Netflix so I have something to do as well. For that price I couldn’t believe what I got!

    Lenovo 15.6” computer is an excellent product! It is lightweight, stylish and quite attractive. 4 GB Memory and 500 GB Hard Drive is more than adequate!

    So glad I was able to purchase this laptop. It is a very inexpensive model, but has everything that I need. The color and clarity is vibrant. I really like having the number keys on the side like a desktop, but it's still not too big. It also came with a lot of software and virus protection that I didn't have to make an extra purchase.

    If you are a gamer, you might want to pass this laptop by but for everyday use, it's a jewel. Lenovo is my favorite brand of laptop and this one only cements that. It is relatively light and therefore good to carry to class or other study locations. It is powerful enough and has adequate storage. Also, should be fine for home use.

    Easy start up. Screen is bright and crisp, keyboard and finger pad work great, battery last. handles everything we throw at it. Took me a little while to get used to the Edge browser. And I wasnt smart enough to figure out how to load Chrome. We won't be figuring out cold fusion on it but it's great for general household computing.

If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. The Chrome Browser is not available through the Microsoft Store, so you will need to decide if you want to switch out of S-Mode to install it. If you decide you want to switch from S-Mode to Windows 10 Home, here is a link to instructions for doing that:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode. Once you have switched to Windows 10 Home, you will be able to install Chrome Browser. Here is a link to instructions for doing that:  https://support.google.com/chrome/answer/95346?co=GENIE.Platform%3DDesktop&hl=en. If you feel the switch to Windows 10 Home, then the installation of Chrome Browser is too much for you to handle, you might consider having the Geek Squad at your local Best Buy to the switch and install for you. There will ne a fee for this service. Check with your local Best Buy for a list of Geek Squad services. Lenovo

    Really good laptop! Perfect for at home use or on the go use for work and school. I would recommend that if you only use in your home and not publicly, I would remove S mode. However; make sure before removing it because it’s a great security program built in and helps with password store and privacy acts! The only issue is saving the passwords for websites or emails. Even though you save it, the next day it is not remembered
