    This is a beautiful, high performance desktop that functions exactly as described. Setup was easy. I've included a couple photos, but basically this comes in a box with a basic keyboard and mouse, but no monitor. I plugged it into my existing monitor and my internet, and had it set up within 15 minutes. Performance: This is blazing fast, with 3.6 GHz Intel i7 processor, a great graphics card, 12 GB onboard ram, a 128 GB SSD and a terabyte hard drive. It's rated for gaming and VR, and I can believe it - I haven't found anything demanding enough that I can even hear the cooling fan, much less demonstrate a drop in performance. Functionality: Functionality is great. Basically all possible ports, with 2 USB 3 and 2 USB 2 ports behind a panel in the front, together with a memory card reader, 4 USB 3 ports in the back, and pretty much every other port that I've heard of. DVD-RW, high end built-in wireless, Bluetooth 4.0 - this basically has everything I can think of. (It doesn't have a microphone or camera, but those should either be in your monitor or a separate USB device, and since it has USB ports to spare, I had no trouble adding a camera/mic attachment.) Looks: This looks terrific. The front is a sleek pewter with some understated notes, with a single power button and activity LED on the front top of the machine. The LEDs are white, and fairly bright but small. The way the front panel opens is positively beautiful.

    I've had this computer for 4 months nows and its overall been very reliable. It does browsing and watching videos just great. I wanted to put a GT 1030 for the extra boost but was dissapointed. I know it's not meant for gaming but just having the extra boost is great. The problem was the one I purchased didn't come with an internal power supply but rather with a power adapter that looked like a laptop charger.(As shown in the picture.) When ever I did something more GPU focused the computer just shut off. This was very dissapointing and i would've like an actual power supply included.

    Some Drawbacks

    Overall the computer is fast and more than I need right now for what I use a computer for: medium complexity excel, word, and email/web-surfing. There's more than enough storage. The only drawback is the number of usb ports in the back of the computer. There's not enough! So I have to connect my wired mouse into 1 of the 4 usb ports in the front of the computer.

    My 10 year old HP finally blew up, so after having a rather long, unpleasant cancelled transaction with the giant computer store in town, (hint: rhymes with flycrow denter), I grabbed my geek ex roommate and headed to Best Buy. Ended buying the same one he bought a few weeks earlier, and so far, I’m very pleased. It was a small Lenovo that was on sale, so I ended up paying less than half of what I planned on, and it’s small enough to fit behind my monitor on my desk, instead of sucking up dust and dog hair on my floor under the desk. I don’t require a big gaming machine, so small and basic suits my needs just fine. I did end up buying a wireless keyboard, so I’ll just keep the wired one that came with it as a backup. Was very happy with what I got for a reasonable price.

    When we first got it, it ran fine as Windows updated, it'd become more problematic. Not to mention the updates often broke the system requiring me to restore it back to a previous date and try the update again. Right now it has upgraded memory 8gb of a faster better quality ram and it seems to have helped some. The pricing on this is probably fair for trying to get a compact size but for about the same cost or a bit more you can build a better system with a better CPU it's just not likely to be small enough to tuck away in a cabinet as a media center. Even most ITX form factor cases were quite a bit larger at the time we picked this up. Also Levono bloatware sucks.

    This is simply serving as the head end of a home "juke box" system and I wanted something slim and small. The video (60in 1080p set) is meh, but I didn't expect as good as it is. My plan is to upgrade the video card when I get a 4K set. My only real gripe is: more USB3 jacks would be welcome. Aside from that, given what it is (a small, low-power computer) I believe I made a good choice.

    Purchased this PC. Good price. 1 week later it failed. PC returned to Best Buy and was promptly replaced. 2nd PC lasted 1 week and it failed the same as the first one. 2nd PC returned to Best Buy and replaced with no hassle. 3rd PC has been running without a problem and works great. No issues or problems with Best Buy replacing this PC either time. Excellent customer service.

    I discovered this little gem on a shelf labeled open item. I didn't have a need for it but the price was too good to pass. I was having trouble on every PC when running Plex server on them. They were all lagging maybe was during transcoding the video. Anyways I loaded Plex to this gem and was so happy that I could watch all my movies on any tv and even tablets and cell phones. Couldn't be happier. Was so happy I went back to bbuy cause they had another one next to this one but they sold it that same day. I would definetaly pay the full price for this one knowing how good it work for what I need it.

    I didn't have a lot of money to spend on a new desktop, so this was my choice. It's a bit slower than I like, but it runs well. I can always add more RAM later on when I have the funds. This is great for non-video gaming operations. I use it mainly for the Internet, Microsoft Word, Powerpoint, Excel, Adobe Photoshop and Serif Pageplus, so it works for me. I do like that it comes with a mouse and keyboard. Another wish - more USB ports in the back.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaCentre 310s desktop. This system ships with the AMD A9-9430 processor, with a base speed of 3.2GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.5GHz and 4GB of DDR4-2400MHz RAM. 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 programing 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. lenovo
