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 was hesitant, but I’m glad I pulled the trigger …
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)

Great Buy For The Money!
I didn’t get snagged too bad on this buy. When you buy Refurbished (renewed) computers it’s usually no more risky than buying a brand new PC. If you are one of the few who gets a bad one, ask for a replacement. 9 times out of 10, the replacement will satisfy you. In my instance, the only problem I had was the 3/4″ speaker jack nor headphones worked. BUT at the price I paid for this refurb, it was an acceptable loss when I consider USB speakers worked fine, and that the system is a 4-Core 3.0Ghz CPU, with 8GBs ram – you won’t find a new computer with those features for this affordable price! At this time its under $150 and its amazing. Dont expect it to look new – most likely it will have a few scratches or a scant few blemishes on the case. The INSIDE is what really matters. Its like Sleeper Hot Rods. They look like junk on the outside but run like a beast on the inside! Now thats kewl! That said, also keep in mind – if you are a hard core gamer, this wont work for you – not without beefing up the power supply and buying a quality graphics card and maxing out the Ram. Its great as is for average games and moderate software uses. I’d recomend buying this PC, just use common sense when using it and it will do you great.

Iffy to say the least
For the most part, I am not mad at the purchase. You definitely get what you pay for, just keep that in mind. The computer does not come with the VGA cord that you will need to hook it up from the desktop to the monitor so keep that in mind when thinking of purchasing. To save you some time because it took me some time to figure this out (I’m not techy), you need a MALE to MALE VGA cord.Once I was able to get that situated, everything went okay until yesterday. It takes me about 7-10 times to hard restart the desktop for it to even turn on. I am at the point where I am thinking I need to return it. It did arrive on time but when I took it out of its package, you could tell it was refurbished. It was dusty as all hell and the back of the desktop was sticky which was gross and weird.I gave it a 3 because of the said points above but it really isn’t a bad computer once it is up and going. I personally bought this to play the Sims 4 and it runs it beautifully. I do mods for it as well and so far no complaints on the speed. I definitely want to try replacing it a new one because I just could’ve gotten the crap one out of the lot.

Me ha dado excelente servicio.

En verdad quede sorprendido de todo, el equipo es muy funcional para la época que se vive con la tecnología, calidad, facilidad de operar, lo necesario para trabajar cómodamente. Usaba una PC igual a principios de siglo con una empresa que se llamaba COMPAQ, muy buena.
