Consumer review (newegg.com)

Nice price, nice performance

 

Cheap, attractive, small, and fast enough. No problems after 3 months. If it lasts 5 years, I'll be happy

No room for upgrades. Simply put... don't buy this Lenovo if you're overly concerned about upgrades. This PC isn't for tweakers and the like

Very easy straightforward setup sequence, fast processor, fast USB 3 ports. Graphics card handles photo processing exceptionally well. Small footprint and a very quiet operation, only a slight humming noise from the fans, which is great as it doesn't...

Operating system is Windows 8.1, now this is better than Windows 8, but still not that user friendly. However I got over that by installing a freeware program called Classic Start, which provides a shell to run the machine emulating Windows XP screens....

This pc has a very high spec for the price and the build quality seems excellent. I've now used it for over a month and have found the machine to be fast, quiet and reliable. It has regular spinning hard drive, but everything loads up in about 12...

The "mini" tower size is convenient, but it means that the DVD drive is vertical, so you have to be a bit more careful when loading it. And there is less room inside the box so you wouldn't be able to install a second hard drive.

Very easy to set up. Added Classic Start a freeware program to remove any difficulties with Windows 8.1 and emulate XP. Small footprint and relatively quiet operation Very fast as one would expect from this processor Power and disk operation light...

Windows 8.1, but that is easily resolved with classic start. Only 1 PCIe slot available to expand USB 3 ports. Only 2 USB 3.0 ports onboard. Needed to load codecs for RAW image processing, not a problem with PC, rather it is an OS issue. Small format...

Lenovo H530s

 

Easy set up, smart looking computer and very quick.

Wired keyboard and mouse does anybody still use these? It seems very American and the keyboard constantly keeps switching to American English very annoying. If it was try before you buy I would probably have gone for a different option.
