Rated 5 out of 5

graduation present for my grandson

I purchased this computer for my grandson who will be starting college in the fall. He did massive amount of research before choosing this computer. He has not had much time to really see what it is capable of doing, but he so far he loves it.

I've been through a lot of laptops - Dell, HP, Asus,Gateway and Acer. I think this one is nicer than the rest. The touchpad doesn't make the curser flash all over the page when I am typing at top speed like the Acer ad Asus did. The two Dells I had kept having problems and I had to deal with trying to fix it by myself by talking to someone in India whom I didn't understand. The HPs had various problems. The Gateway was so long ago, I don't even remember it well. So far this Lenovo has me giving it 5 stars.

Nice laptop

Purchased this for my wife for her household projects, hobby projects and social media. She likes it. The change from Windows 7 to Windows 10 has been a bit of an uphill struggle mainly because the interface of the two programs is so different. Machine is great however.
