This configuration has 4GB of RAM. It is good with Microsoft Office type programs, internet browsing and other moderate work. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. 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. Please keep in mind, this model is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. We recommend you consult your certified technician about your upgrade options. Lenovo

    This was purchased to replace an old laptop that crashed. The printer that was working will not config. properly from the disc. The Sales person assured me it had Windows photo Gallery- wrong the photo editing is close to useless. We purchased the laptop to do our taxes and had to transfer the data to another desk top to print it. The unit is very slow and I hope to add an additional 8GB. The display is sharp, the unit is light and easy to transport and a good starter computer for kids. This was my fault for purchasing it when trying to get an inexpensive replacement.

    My old laptop was could not be repaired and with the help of a phone conversation with a Best Buy employee, I was able to replace it with a new one very similar to the old. I ordered it online and it arrived as expected. With my limited computer skills I was able to get started and quickly connect to email and Facebook.

    We bought this for my wife so that she could telecommute during the outbreak. It's perfect for Zoom meetings, sending e-mail, creating documents, etc. I imagine it would be very slow or maybe unusable to play any type of high end game, but that's not what it was made for. Wife loves it and has had no issues so far.

    I got 2 laptop for my children, this is their first laptop, which is amazing to do all homeschooling, honeworks, projects, conferences, watch videos, you name it... They even play roblox and still work very fast, this is not designed for heavy games, you better buy another one, which is 3x the price! I'm really happy with this laptop, for young children is even better, the screen is big, volume pretty loud and the charging is not bulky like the old model's laptop. Thank you Lenovo and Best Buy!

    Works great except the sound. Can not hear to connect to things like zoom. Sound is in and out and can only hear like every 5 words. Not good for zoom or face to face meetings. Also doesn’t take very good pictures with the camera. And the brightness isn’t very bright. The mouse pad is very easy to use though. But the computer works well enough for my Elementry kid to do her school work

    No regrets! The price was great! The quality is good. Perfect size for any home office desk. The charger was accidentally thrown away (HOW), but the scan bar on the laptop, led me to a link to quickly purchase another. O would definitely recommend this product.
