I chose this because of the size so we could watch movies on Hulu etc. I also chose it because it has so much memory/space. My biggest complaint is having to do some work around to be able to access Google docs etc easily. Otherwise it tries to take you to its programs first so if you use those programs you should be fine. I'm a Google office user. The other biggest complaint I have is it does not come with word so I have to pay $100 or so a year for that. Because of this when I buy another computer I will probably go with a different one that has word included for free.

Great size and value for the price. I’ve had this laptop for about a year and it’s been reliable the whole time. The touchscreen works well, colors and image quality look great, and the build is surprisingly strong—I’ve had a few drops and it held up fine. Solid choice for everyday use, school, or work.

It works perfectly. The only thing for which I would take a star is the fact that it takes a whole day to update the laptop, you have to update windows too and the bios had to be updated as well. Other than that, it's great! Pros: - Snappy for it's price - Screen is incredibly bright, way beyond what I had expected - No bloatware except for maybe Alexa but that can be uninstalled quickly - I can run MGTA maxed out at 1080P and it runs pretty well (Had to test the GPU hah) - Surprisingly well built except for the front edges which feel a little sharp but it's passable for the price - Is not a fingerprint magnet!! Meh: - After updates, installing office and college apps, you end up with 150GBs~ - If you want to update Windows and the bios, you have to lose the windows S mode (doesn't really impact the performance to be honest) Cons: - Touchpad has a certain click sound when I tap it (not click it) that feels almost like if it's loose but when you check real close is NOT. Feels weird at first but if you mess around enough with the touchpad it feels solid (it has a mechanical click function which also feels pretty solid) - Computer seems to get a little bit hot when running CPU intensive tasks (relative to its CPU), such as playing MGTA while listening to a youtube music video - Keyboard feels a little bit chunky at first but the tactile feeling when using it compensates the fact that it's a little bit bigger than what I would've preferred - I knew the speakers weren't going to be great and I was spot on. Although they get loud, the sound is just not right. I thought of this in advance and added a pair of apple's earpods with the 3.5MM plug solely for this Can't think of anything else really important, it covers everything I needed. I only wish it had a backlit keyboard but at this price you really can't complain for what you get.

Decent laptop for the price. Overall am happy with it. Key issues are with the hardware: -there are only 2 USB ports, one on the left and one on the right. I had to buy an external USB port hub to be able to use more than one external device -the wifi adapter is pretty crappy and it stops working frequently. Like, a lot. Which means no internet at all when it stops working .I bought an external wifi adapter for $20, which solves the problem (except it takes up one of the USB ports and there are only 2). Sometimes the troubleshooter is able to restart the wifi adapter, and sometimes I have to restart the laptop entirely. So far one of these options works. I had the same issue with my previous laptop, which was a slightly older version of this same laptop. Basically set aside some extra money to purchase supplemental hardware and a wifi adapter because they will intermittently stop working. If I'd known I would have purchased another laptop. Since this is the main problem so far and I've been able to work around it, and aside from this the laptop has been good, I've given it 4 stars.

I was so undecided as well as nervous picking out a new computer. I didn't know where to start. Went to some stores, fiddled with some on display and got a feel for size, keyboard performance, speeds, layout, and whatnot. Then came to how much and what each ram and gig storage was. Googled reviews on some I narrowed down to 3 and compared everything to prices. This computer was at my price point and provided the necessary amount of everything I needed for school and work. The battery life is amazing...but it's also still new, it immediately loads and connects, Internet browsing is seamless, it's light weight and easy to carry around. The screen size isn't too big or too small, watching movies and videos with no issues. I love this computer and am so glad I purchased it. Well worth the money! The only two issues I would change but not anything I'd send back and cry about are the volume is a bit low and the charging connection. I'm not a fan of the tiny little connector as my clumsy a$$ would probably bend it and ruin it. But otherwise now I'm just super vigilant to it and have adapted to being more cautious around it.

2 years later it basically quit due to some short on one of the USB ports that I was using for a mouse. ' The mouse pad stopped working within 2-3 months of purchase , so I switched to using a regular wired mouse, for the last 2 years. Then I started having mouse connectivity issues about a week ago, which led to the screen going dark with some sort of glitching ( suspected some electrical short) caused by one or all three USB ports. then it kept restarting and going to the BIOS asking to troubleshoot and fix the issue. so far nothing worked. Bottom line it is a cheaply made laptop. Would not purchase again. Lost all data as I could not transfer my Data from the SSD , but that is another issue altogether having to do with the SSD being locked by some sort of bitlocker encryption (48 digits number apparently generated when activated the first time : a Microsoft annoying issue), I tried many tricks out there to get that information and still nothing works. so data lost. and this computer is going to the trash.

After a two months of using, there's a line that suddenly occur on the screen of my camera, called the customer service but no help since the warranty has expired. Good thing I called Lenovo and they were able to repair my laptop within a month though.
