    I pointed out the color and model I wanted to the salesperson, getting the touchscreen specifications available in the store. I took the computer home as a gift for my mom, but when I opened it, I discovered it was a different color and had no touchscreen feature.

    It had been less than a month after it was purchased before it broke. The store refused to exchange it because it was outside their 14-day return window and tried to get me to sign up for their paid membership. Terrible computer and even worse customer service.

    I absolutely love this laptop. Excellent battery, super fast for the price. I would purchase it again! Lightweight. Display is excellent. I primarily do office work and run heavy on the Chrome tabs. I have never attempted to run a video game on this machine. I have better machines but I always fire up this Lenovo to get work done. It is hard not to like it after a few days of use.

    It's ok kinda slow and you have to restart it all the time for it to work sometimes and it's new. The memory is low because some games require more than it has. They should let us know that. Screen resolution not great also.
