make sure that you install good virus protection and keep it updated, September 30, 2016 This review is from: Lenovo 80R30016US TS Flex 14 i5/4GB/128GB Laptop (Personal Computers) Unfotunately, I seem to have gotten a factory reject (perhaps). Within a week of using the product, the screen when using an internet browser loaded with blacked-out portions of the text, which worsened over the next few days and I decided to return it. Additionally, it was running slow and if it had a virus, I am more than positive that is because I was running Windows 10 on it. I have experience with Lenovo products before and I know that they work quite well with Linux, so I would suggest that. (I had to use windows for work). If you DO run windows, make sure that you install good virus protection and keep it updated. The mouse was also a little annoying to use and in the tablet mode, the start menu doesn't appear as it does in the laptop mode, which I never got used to. Suffice it to say, that regardless of these problems I really did like the machine - the size is perfect, the tablet mode is fun - this is really kind of a toy - and the processor seems to be quite adequate.

OOPS Wrong Size Hard Drive, I'm Bummed, October 24, 2016 This review is from: Lenovo 80R30016US TS Flex 14 i5/4GB/128GB Laptop (Personal Computers) I kind of rated this one already. I returned it because the description above reads 4GB but the manuf. details read 8GB. Big difference and I would never have bought it if it was 4GB.

However, when watching video or using google maps, having issue with angle of viewing. Video must be watched from almost 90 degree angle, or the darker scenes cannot be watched clearly. When using google maps, the streets are very light that you can almost not see it. In this case, I have to use the screen from ~120 degree angle in order to see the street lines.
Other than the screen, the computer performs fast. Had a couple of graphic failures that had to be recovered from, but not sure if that's a windows 10 or the HW issue from laptop. nothing a good reboot couldn't fix.
Generally happy with the price/configuration, so I'll give it a 4 star. can't really beat it at this price point. Help other customers find the most helpful reviews Was this review helpful to you? |
