    I chose this laptop based on a recommendation from a tech website and it's been great. Best Buy really does have the best prices on electronics. I didn't want to overspend on high-end functionality that would go unused and this was a great balance of specs to cost. It's bigger than I was picturing, so the extra screen space is really nice. The display is sharp and it's very responsive. After years of a Chromebook, it's a relief to have something that can do so much. I was a little concerned that 8 MB wouldn't be enough, but it's fine. Unless you will be doing a ton of graphic intensive gaming or you keep 100 apps and tabs open at a time, this is plenty. It's more than enough for video streaming, looking at websites and productivity functions like Word or Excel, etc. Very pleased with this purchase!

    For its price, it's a very fast and good computer. The only drawback is the limited storage, but that's normal, it's what they advertised.

    Must Buy if There is a Sale

    Great for the price! I got it on sale, and it does everything I need it to do for a secondary office laptop. It is running the latest windows and did not take long to set up. The laptop is light, boot time is minimal, and not a lot of bloatware which is common with other similar laptops. Now for the downsides. The touch pad is a little wonky, it sometimes makes the mouse move all over the screen. I mostly control this laptop remotely so I am able to avoid it The laptop hard drive write/read speeds are a little slow. So moving files or opening files felt a little sluggish for 2025. Outside of the those 2 aspects, this laptop fulfills its purpose.

    It is a good, budget laptop. It handles light processes well enough. It should've came with more on-board storage. Most of it was gone before I even did anything and it is not enough.

    This Lenovo laptop fits my basic requirements perfectly. I plan on continuing to use the Windows 11 Mode S for its security. My primary use is email and word processing (Google Docs), where a full sized keyboard is more convenient than a cell phone. The system was easy to set up. The Windows 11 boot up is very fast compared to my older magnetic hard drive. I was also very happy that the system was not loaded with bloat wear.i have also streamed music and watched YouTube videos with no issues. I’m sure this unit is more capable than what I use it for. I’m extremely pleased with this laptop computer.

    I Love my Lenovo laptop. It's so easy to work with. It's a higher quality one than I'm used too so I was really worried it would be too much for me. Thank You to the store employees for helping me pick out what I would need. Your Geek Squad couldn't fix mine but told me you had some great options. I appreciate the Grove City Ohio sales team and store associates so much. I'll definitely be back soon to purchase some more items That I need.
