Great value starter
Love this thing, exactly what i was looking for in a starter rig. I got it when it was on sale and the Amazon monthly payments were available so it was very much instant gratification. It runs Total War 3 at high settings and open world survival games at mid-high for 1080p. It’s also 4k capable which is nuts but you do sacrifice frames. League of Legends capped at 400 frames. Disclaimer – you’re not gonna get the 1tb HDD. It’s like $30 to get one yourself though so it’s not too much of a compromise.

Decent purchase but…
I just got mine, it works perfectly but it doesn’t come with a hdd (not a big issue for me but maybe others) and only 8gb ram. It’s easy to purchase some additional storage and ram and it’s also easy to install as the cards are provided and 1 free slot for ram upgrade. I thought it would have temperature issues but it has been running for 24 hours now and no issues. The noise level is also good, I can’t hear it.

There is no HDD + Add a stick of ram.
There was no HDD included. For me this didn’t matter much because I had another SSD I could install, but to the average consumer this might be a deal breaker. The included SSD isn’t very big. Games take up a lot of space these days. You should also order a 8GB stick of ram with this thing as most games expect more than the included 8. It was very easy to install the ram and SSD, but I didn’t have an HDD in the way. The case is very small. This thing is a little beast. It’s too bad the false advertising spoiled the mood a bit.3/5 stars out of the box. 4/5 if you’re willing to fix the oversights.

Does not come with HDD
This came with out the HDD. Works great otherwise. Amazon referred me to the manufacturer about the missing HDD, have not resolved issue yet. Won’t bother exchanging, I’m assuming it’s a problem with the whole stock of them judging by the reviews. Will update when I hear back from Lenovo.Update: Lenovo said to call amazon for a return or exchange. Not really interested in returning or exchanging the computer, This is the one that I wanted and I don’t trust that any are coming with the mechanical hard drive from amazon. Disappointed. It would have been nice if they offered to ship me a new hard drive.
