"Great laptop for the price — perfect for work and content creation" I've been using this Lenovo IdeaPad 1 for a few days and I'm really happy with my purchase. The 15.6" FHD screen is clear and comfortable for long work sessions. The 12GB RAM handles multitasking well — I can have multiple tabs, Canva, and video editing open without issues. The 512GB SSD + 128GB eMMC gives plenty of storage space. Wi-Fi 6 connection is fast and stable. Windows 11 runs smoothly and the included 1-year Office 365 is a great bonus. Lightweight and easy to carry. Great value for students and entrepreneurs working from home.

Overall this is a decent, value oriented basic laptop. It will perform most of the stuff a student needs with a very simple version of MS Office. But at this price, please realize that it isn't built for games. (That may be a good thing if you want your kid to get their assignments finished on time ;0) To save some ca$h, I bought the "Used - Like New" version. The laptop I received probably had an older “generic image” of software reloaded for resale. As such, it required a couple years’ worth of Windows 11 updates, which can be frustrating. After a few failed attempts including one infamous Microsoft BSOD, I finally got the thing running reliably stable. But that took quite some time researching and downloading additional "update repair" software readily available at Microsoft’s websites after following advice from user forums. In my experience this is not unusual with MS. Their products have to work on many different brands of machines, which is not an easy thing to achieve. If you want a sturdy metal frame “good to go right out of the box” machine, buy a refurbed, slightly older Apple laptop for a little bit more. I’ve had several of those too. Apple has tight controls on both their hardware and software products. They work well and last a long time… As they say, “You pay for what you get!”

Bought this lenova one year ago . Freezes at least once every time i use it . Always has . Have to restart . No - I don't know what I'm doing ,but never had this problem with any other laptop . Doesn't seem to be a cooling issue . Don't like the way some things , border lines and others , appear . Resolution is OK . Can't seem to make scrolling smooth no matter what . Also, I am dumb with this stuff so i think i will probably take my torch to it . It's cheap . Sorry i bought it .

This Lenovo laptop works really well for daily tasks. It’s fast, easy to use, and has a good battery life. It’s perfect for work, school, or browsing. Overall, great value for the price! ⭐

Worth the money.but did have touch screen. I missed that information when buying.

CONTEXT I read many of the reviews before deciding to make my purchase. It was in my hopes that the reviews complaining about the computer’s slowness, bad screen quality, Windows S mode, etc. were wrong. I was hoping maybe those people had just gotten defective laptops. Wishful thinking. I didn’t want to spend more than $300-$400 on a laptop and this one advertised that it could do the simple things I need it to do, so I took the risk. Here’s what I think: THE REVIEW The computer is slow. Its ram is not very high, so that makes sense. The screen quality is not good, either. And, yes, the computer *does* come in Windows S mode. These are my three biggest complaints, and here’s what I’ve done to remedy it: Windows S Mode - I saw another review on here that states that you can’t remove Windows S mode without contacting support. This isn’t true at all. I removed mine easily. You just need to make sure you have your windows login credentials on hand, make sure to pay attention to what you’re clicking & agreeing to (Windows will try to trick you into keeping S Mode enabled), but if you just follow the prompts, it’s super easy to remove it on your own. Just have patience and vigilance. Screen Quality - I’m not sure if this is the case for every version of this laptop, but mine came with completely messed up settings for color calibration. I noticed when I was using Google Sheets, and pastel green looked like dark blue. This is easy to solve! Look up a YouTube video for how to correct your color calibration for Windows 11. I promise you, it’s easy, and it only took me like 5 minutes. Is the screen quality itself great? No. Will it get the job done at least? Yes, and that’s all I need from it. Slowness - You get what you pay for. This computer suits my needs, as I am a part-time office administrator, and a fantasy novelist. The slowness is annoying, but all it requires is patience. Just. Wait. It’s slow to set-up initially, and loading pages in your browser takes more than a blink of an eye, but it DOES get there. If you can’t afford patience, then you should cop up the extra money for a faster computer - OR, buy more ram. This is definitely a laptop that has potential for tech gurus. Final Thoughts: This laptop sucks lol, but for the simple things I need it to do (google docs, google sheets, youtube, word press, data entry programs, so on), it can manage. I would not use it for gaming, programming, etc. We don’t *live* on our computers, people. If you don’t wanna cough up the money for a better computer, learn to be okay with what this one has to offer.
