lenovo ThinkCentre Premium High Performance M91P Desktop Computer, Intel Core i5 Quad-Core Processor 3.1GHz, 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD, Windows 10 Home (Renewed)

I'll try to keep this as brief as possible and informative - first, the reason I bought this system was my son (8 yr old) wants to be a "Youtuber" - the various laptops and CPUs I had in my house were pretty antiquated, so certainly they didn't have the ability to play more recent games, but also didn't have the ability to record while playing and then edit videos effectively. With that having been said, I didn't want to go out and spend over $1,000 dollars on a "Gaming system" just to have my son give up abruptly when he finds that he isn't just going to get 1 million subscribers because he posts one video - that it's actually going to take work - so I figured this system was like buying my son a used bike at a garage sale, and once he gets good on that, buying him a "new bike" ... if that makes sense.PROS: Obviously the price/value - I sort of actually enjoy shopping around online and finding the best value - after spending hours pricing out systems, looking for holiday deals, etc. - I kept coming back to this one - I was hesitant because it kind of feels like it had "mixed reviews" but at the end of the day, I had to take the chance, because to get about the same specs as this was at least double the price. Also a big pro that I like is when I've bought new systems in the past, they are preloaded with a ton of junk that you have to clear out of the startup (hp/dell all seem to have their programs they want to sell you or "help you" that just bog down the system) - this has none of that crap, you turn it on, it loads up, and boom, you're done. I loved it.CONS: This is essentially a "light gaming" system - if my son were into Call of Duty or Fortnite, this wouldn't get the job done - luckily he's into more indie games - with that having been said, I did have to upgrade the video card and keep in mind this is a slim line case, so you are limited a bit with what you can upgrade to - has to be a low profile video card.Honestly, that was the only con - here's what I bought with the system (because I like when other people put that in their reviews so I can cut down on my research time):Acer HA220Q bi 21.5" IPS Full HD Monitor Ultra-Thin Design (best value for an HD monitor I found)PNY NVIDIA GeForce GT 710 2GB DDR3 VGA/DVI/HDMI Low Profile PCI-Express Video Card - this isn't going to be a 'hardcore' video card, but certainly an upgrade from integrated graphics, it'll allow us to play many more games and use better video/editing software. The install was easy, the system recognized it and deactivated the integrated card automatically and downloaded the recent drivers, so again, it was essentially plug-and-play.***Update*** this Graphics card was ok, I ended up having to swap it out for a more powerful GPU: Gigabyte Geforce GTX 1050 Ti OC Low Profile 4GB GDDR5 128 Bit PCI-E Graphic Card (GV-N105TOC-4GL) - works much better for playing games and recording at the same time, hardly any lag unless we are doing a hardcore battle simulator - much smoother video/audio recording. Just thought I would share.I'm glad I took the chance and saved myself about $300 dollars, I think my son is going to be super pumped on Christmas morning (plus I can start playing World of Warcraft again, my 10 year ago, nerdy self is excited, haha)

My parents computer power supply died and they needed a replacement. Unfortunately the PSU was a special form factor (thank you Dell) and it was going to cost $250 plus labor. So I sent them this off-lease refurb and my technologically competent sister-in-law to install it for them. I live in Seattle and they live in Los Angeles. I had the unit delivered to their address and she pulled out the hard drive from the old dead machine and dropped it into an external case (very easy). She then installed the new machine complete with the new Windows 10 license from the instructions supplied. It all went off without a hitch. I know that these computers cost the refurb company about $25 each but they clean them inside and out, Install a new hard drive (2TB), install a fresh OS, package them and carry a warranty on them and then finally they include the shipping in the final price. I think $200 is a very decent price considering that what my parents received looked like a brand new computer. Is this the latest tech? Not even close, but it's a commercial grade Lenovo and it's going to be everything they need and it will run every application they use. They're very happy and so am I.Oh, and the old hard drive? An external case cost me $20 also on Amazon and I had her install the old drive in the external case. Once my sister in law plugged in the old hard drive into the new computer she was able to easily copy all their old data onto their new computer. Once she finished I walked her through how to reformat it and use it as a weekly backup to their new computer. Is it USB2.0 and therefore a bit slow? Sure, but it's scheduled for Friday night so they will never notice. If it ever became an issue a USB3.0 short card is inexpensive and easily installed. This a much cheaper solution than paying $125 to get the 'Geek Squad' to do it.

Great little starter computer, the form factor is nice and fits almost anywhere, as compared to the bigger computers in this price point. I bought a GT 730 low profile graphics card to add some more gaming capabilities, which was the only caveat of the computer, but it’s understandable because that’s not what your getting when you buy this, it might be able to play some very not demanding games but ultimately it’s recommended to add a low profile graphics card so that if you are interested in some gaming, it’s much more of a pleasant experience, if maybe you’d want atleast 30-60fps in some games. But outside of Gaming the computer works fine for browsing the internet, watching occasional videos and maybe editing a photo or two, I’d say overall great purchase as a first time computer.

I got this computer because I was looking for something on the cheaper side that would be good enough to use for regular task things. I went to set up the computer, & everything was working fine. Until I had to set up the wifi. First of all there’s this little adapter for the wifi, strange but makes sense if you don’t have Ethernet. I spent 4 hours trying to get this thing connected to wifi. It absolutely did not work. Everything I did. Look, I’m pretty internet savvy & have worked with different computers. I reset the adapter settings, I rebooted the wifi, i did absolutely everything & nothing worked. The only available wifi connections popping up were car WiFi’s & iPad Wi-Fi’s. So as I researched this runs on really low hrz of wifi. Meaning simple hotspots won’t even work on it. Don’t waste your money you’re better of grabbing something a little more pricey that is worth your while. Also, there was rust all over the back of the computer. I know it’s refurbished but “excellent condition” expectation was not met.
