After researching for a high quality laptop that would not break the bank, I finally chose this one. For a few months, I looked at many other manufacturers. There is a lot of bang for your buck in the Lenovo Ideapad 320. Over the past few years, Ive repaired laptops, built computers, and reconfigured systems. Lenovo has not disappointed with their products. Its a solid and quality built laptop. I wish could say the same for Windows.

This computer has two significant cons: 1) The drive is the traditional hard drive with moving parts, not the SSD higher-end computers boast of. 2) The battery was pretty limited. I couldnt get more than a 2 hr 15 min use from full charge to the computer needing to turn off. The first of these was no surprise at all, of course. I mention it mainly to say it wouldnt have been a deal breaker for me, at all. The computer has a solid processor and enough memory to handle pretty much anything the average user willl throw at it, short of graphics-heavy gaming. The second point *is* a deal breaker for me, because I occasionally need a machine that can last a half day without access to a plug. Amazon is being extremely reasonable about allowing a return and full refund. But as other users have also mentioned the battery life, Ill reiterate: it really is subpar for a machine with these kinds of specs. That said: if you can deal with the short battery life, youre not going to find a better machine at this price. The case is solid and attractive, the keyboard responsive and comfortable to use (nice touch with the dedicated number keypad too!), the sound is much better than you see on budget laptops, and it booted quickly and handled running multiple programs including the resource-hog Google Chrome without a hiccup. If youre looking for a true desktop replacement or otherwise will have fairly regular access to an outlet, give it a try. Im really sorry to be sending this one back!

I needed a new laptop as I am in a graduate program that uses statistical software, and my old laptop simply could not keep up with some of the permutation and bootstrap analyses when dealing with more than a hundred data points. With this, I can run several analyses in R back-to-back-to-back in just a few seconds, making my life much easier. As for gaming, you wont be able to run anything too intensive, but I can play Rocket League on max settings without any lag or other issues. Overall for the price range, its a fantastic laptop.

I have never had a Lenovo computer or laptop and Windows 10 is a new thing for me. My desktop computer is a homemade Windows 7 & really runs well with no issues. I needed a fairly decent 15.6 inch laptop to take when I go out of town for vacations and such and decided to get this Lenovo laptop with Windows 10. This is an extremely slow computer, short battery life of maybe 3 hours [I used the "balanced setting" for battery life on this laptop] and this computer froze up and died on me after just 5 or 6 months of periodic light use. Seems fragile also and flimsy built. The Windows 10 is fine.....confusing but as fine as I expect. This laptop has pretty much what I needed on it....webcam, 15.6 LED screen, full keyboard, DVD burner, SD card reader, several USB ports and a 1 TB regular non-solid state hard drive installed. Getting the initial Windows 10 to load up was long...2 or 3 hours long. Several times when I powered this laptop up, it would take up to 30 minutes to finally load up windows 10. Finally a few days ago, this laptop totally froze up and sat for over 5 hours without fully starting up and died when I tried to reboot it. I was going to simply replace the hard drive, reload Windows 10 on it and go on with life....but I ended up dusting off an 8 year old [2010] Windows 7 laptop from another computer maker and modernized it with beefed up hard drive and memory and it works better than this Windows 10 laptop ever did. If the battery life was longer than 3 hours...which seems to be what it was for me with this laptop and I did not have freeze up issues with this laptop....I would have given it a better rating, but this was the shortest lasting laptop I have ever had since using laptops in 2007. 2 stars I give this product. I can be a great computer, if Lenovo would spend a bit more money on better materials inside including a better motherboard. Thanks.

It is an okay laptop and nothing more. It obviously depends on what you want to do with it. I would not expect this to work well for gaming or other tasks requiring movement of huge data stacks back and forth. If you have the tv on and are surfing the web at the same time, this is probably the right product for you. What I like: Beautiful resolution Light to carry Bigger screen Nice keyboard What I do not like: The charge cord is very short, about 1/2 the size of a regular charging cord The battery capacity is 3 hours on a full charge The small battery capacity is the number one reason I would not buy this product and would recommend with that caveat being disclosed. The fact that I am a light user and mostly read the news and so on, is the reason I did not return this as soon as I received it.

Im giving this five stars considering the price. It is not the best laptop out there, but for under $400 I think it is definitely one of the better ones. I have a very nice desktop pc so I was not in the market for an amazing laptop because more processor intensive tasks like video editing or gaming can easily be handled on my desktop. That being said, I have found myself using this a lot more than my desktop simply because it is convenient to have access to a laptop and this one handles normal tasks extremely well. Its fast compared to other laptops Ive tried int this price range, and it doesnt feel cheap in its construction. It can also run modded Skyrim with no issues, which is nice bonus for me.

As good as its going to get. The laptop is awesome for the price. Fast computer and plays the games that I play on the laptop pretty good. By no means is it a gaming laptop but it works for sims 4 and low quality games. I use it for school work I just bought this one to replace my HP notebook that recently died on me. Im happy with the product but the battery life sucks the charger is short. The lightweight is awesome and the color and make are great. I would recommend to other people. Lenovo is a great company and this laptop is cool.

Great Item! Delivery was a bit off but I blame USPS on that, they suck in my area. Laptop was new, in perfect condition and works like a charm. AMD A12 processor is quite fast when loading everything from an SSD. Light for its size, not much flex in the body. EASY upgrade-ability!!! mem, hdd, screed, dvd drive are all easily accessible and removable. The Model of this Laptop is the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15ABR (it is not in the item description for some reason) Complaints: 720p screen thats not very bright. Great if in a dark area but otherwise not that good. I have already ordered a replacement screen that is 1080 and brighter than the stock one. Low RPM HDD. 5200 RPM 1TB HDD is painfully slow compared to an SSD. It should have come with an SSD or a higher RPM (7200+) HDD, but this is a cheap easy fix. I suggest getting a HDD/SSD caddy to replace the dvd drive, and have 2 storage drives. Again I already ordered that part. 4GB of the mem is attached to the MOBO of the laptop and 4GB is replaceable. (i Have never seen a laptop with half the memory soldered to the board and half swappable, not sure why Lenovo did this. Kinda odd. Short charging cable.

Ok, I read the reviews here on Amazon, tried to save money and that was my mistake. If you are interested in this computer, google the reviews. They are not very good. Then, go look at all the used 320s for sale on Amazon and ask yourself why? Because it is dog slow. My 8 year old notebook that I was replacing was faster than this one. Slow to start up. Slow to load images. You get what you pay for, so spend a little more and be happy. I returned this and got the ASUS VivoBook F510UA Thin and Lightweight FHD WideView Laptop, 8th Gen Intel Core i5-8250U, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 128GB SSD+1TB HDD, USB Type-C, ASUS NanoEdge Display, and could not be happier. Blazingly fast. $500, but I got the one with the SSD card already installed for $569. Highly recommend it.

Stop what you’re doing now and get this computer! The search is over. This computer is the best thing you can get under 400 dollars. Lots of space, fast, and it will last a long time with ita top shelf technology. Good enough to game on. I would rate this computer higher than my MacBook. Perfect for college, office, or gaming.
