Too slow
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this computer to do some work at home and some of that involves checking boxes on the assessments that I am doing. There was as much as a 5-10 second lag on the check boxes, which definitely slowed me down. There were other areas in which it took a while for this computer to respond. I wound up returning it after about 3 weeks and bought a different brand. This state's on here that the purchase date was 5/8. That is not accurate, that is the date that I brought it back and exchanged it.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing lagging with the program you are using. Be sure the program you are using is compatible with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System installed on this computer. If you have switched out of S-Mode, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Great system.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The only issue I've encountered is with adding devices to the system, e.g. system printer. The system would not allow me to install any drivers that were not in the Lenovo catalog. I ended up having to install Lenovo Scanner Software to fully enable my wireless cannon printer.

Terrible laptop...do not waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this laptop because I heard Lenovo was a good brand. Either I was told wrong or this laptop is one of the bad ones. I got it just to write papers for school and search the Internet and did not want to spend a lot. Well, you get what you pay for! I cannot do anything. This laptop is slower than a snail. It takes forever to do anything. Do not buy this laptop! You will regret it!
