Bad experience with this computer
AriaS Posted
This computer is very slow and it freezes as well, when I first received it it was slow but I thought it’d speed up overtime which wasn’t the case. You can’t have to many tabs open either or it’d reset whatever it was you were doing, and it’s still slow today.

Slow, it is slow to upload a document or google. I dislike how slow it is but for the price you can say it’s okay. I am overall okay with this fir processing documents that will need to be submitted for school. I need it for school so it probably will work

Too slow
Deborah Posted
I bought one in February and it was very good. However, I bought this one in the Black Friday and it was terrible! Too much slow that I couldn't even open the files! So I returned it.

IDEAPAD?
This laptop computer is a waste of money. It would not set up and I returned it as defective. You get what you pay for and this costs very little. Save up your money and buy a better laptop.

You get what you paid for…
Ivette0930 Posted
The Lenovo Ideapad laptop is very well made for the price point of 120 bucks. The setup was smooth, I had no issues there. The nightmare started after I wanted to surf the web. It was impossible to do that. The system kept saying “page not responding”. I knew it was not my internet because everything else was working fine, it was the laptop. After some research I was able to switch out of Windows S mode, took me forever to get to this part since the laptop was not responding. After I did the switch out, I was able to navigate through. It still was not working too fast but it was way better than before. At the 120 price point you at least want a working computer. I do not intent to do big projects on this computer but it sure will work for easy tasks. The battery life is good. The resolution is pretty great as well. Speakers sound a bit low but no problem you have the option to add better ones. After doing the switch the Lenovo Ideapad worked way better. If I wouldn’t have switch I was never going to be able to do anything with this laptop. In my opinion, I only would recommend this laptop for small jobs or for a young student, other than that its a big NO!

Only for those on a VERY VERY TIGHT BUDGET
Fairgame Posted
Unless you are on a seriously tight budget, it is not worthwhile buying at all. The only pros are that it is sleek and beautiful and can be used only for the simplest of tasks. Cons: only 4GB of Ram Additional RAM can't be added. It is slow as snail The display is just an HD Most Importantly: It is advertised as having an SSD. This is NOT the case. The box says so, the advert says so but when you set it up and check the computer specs, it says eMMC hard drive. I had to return mine and complain and I got no resolution. I ended up buying the i3. Same design but much better.

Mimi Posted
The computer right of that bat is slow. Setting it up was really slow and I thought it was just my Internet but no because I tried it in multiple places. I really had faith in this computer to do a lot of things because I need it for school. But after I returned it, the worker told me it’s made for sending emails and doing basic stuff on it. It has really low memory.

Cheap. And it shows.
Harlow Posted
It’s extraordinarily slow, and can’t handle more than two programs open at the same time. I bought it to do a project for a client, as it required Windows. Still, it did what I needed it to do, but for everyday things,I much prefer an iPad,

Okay for the money
Josh Posted
The processing speed is atrocious. I know it’s a cheap laptop but I figured it wouldn’t be as slow as it was straight out of the box. I removed a lot of the bloatware that I had permissions to get rid of,…but…it’s still super slow. It does have a decent battery life though

This idea pad is very basic. Not much power. Slow processor, even with the easiest task. It was a problem from set up. Had difficulty opening email, getting on edge browser and was quite frustrating. Wish we had know. Not worth the headache.

Super slow!
Jag8807 Posted
I purchased this for my younger child kind of like a segue into seeing if he could be responsible with something of value such as a laptop, especially since he loves roblox. Over all it does what it needs to, but it is extremely slow. I know computers like thia will be slower giving the fact it doesnt have an ssd, its just a regular hard drive, but it took over an hour just for it to update everything to be able to use. Upon first using it past all the updates it continually froze. I set it aside and let it finish everything and by the next day it was fully operational. It works better now but still super slow. I would never purchase this for anyone else other than a younger child wanting to learn to use conputers. Over all it does what I need it to do, but keep in mind how frustratingly slow it will be if you purchase it.

Patience will be needed with this purchase
vinaG Posted
I bought this on Black Friday as a Christmas gift to my husband. This was going to be starter laptop for when he gets into classes. Wrapped it up and waited till 12/30 due to family traveling for holidays. The following day (12/31/23)my husband finally started the laptop up, but to our surprise, the system was VERY slow. It took about 4-5 days for the laptop to configure and do all the updates it needed. We have the fastest wifi possible due to wfh & both being avid gamers, till this day you have to wait for the page to load when you try to google anything. It’ll time out & say page not loading. Which can be a huge hassle sometimes. We’re keeping it due to the outside date for a return, given we bought this on Black Friday as a gift & waited till after Christmas to open. It works ok but Buy at your own discretion.

Don’t Buy.
BrookeB Posted
I wanted to buy this just for my five-year-old to play educational games on. I needed it to do the most basic of basic things. I have always been a Mac user, but thought I would give this a try just for my toddler. This was the slowest and most frustrating piece of equipment I’ve ever used. The keyboard is slow the mouse is slow. The speakers are terrible, and it took about 10 minutes to even turn on, and then felt like it would freeze every other five seconds. I returned it and then went and bought a MacBook Air that was 12 years old off of Facebook market. That 12 year old laptop was the most refreshing thing I have ever operated after operating that other laptop that I had just returned.

I had to buy a computer for work during covid. I never really liked this computer. It lags constantly, I have had it a while and I still dislike it, and will be buying a replacement laptop. It does what it needs to, but i get error messages when I'm on zoom for work, and have other windows open to enter data. So what i bought it for it doesn't function well. I have to often use the audio on my phone during zoom, because again error messages.

Slow and Low Battery
Yuck59 Posted
It is very slow. To load a web page, it takes about 30 seconds. If you leave tabs open, they take longer to load after the laptop is sleeping. If you want to load a video on say, YouTube; it takes longer than a minute. If you have more than one tab open and you leave that tab for like 3 minutes, it needs to load again. The battery life is low. Upwards of two hours without it being plugged in constantly. The display is fine. It’s a small screen but that’s to be expected.

Very slow
KateH Posted
You get what you pay for. For a $100 laptop, it does the job but it’s incredibly slow! I shoulda looked at spec requirements for the programs I’m running on it first. But I only got it because I needed something to run VCarve pro on for my CNC machine. And it can barely accommodate for the program. Gets the job but with LOTS of delays.

Budget-Friendly but Slow
Tuffyq Posted
This budget laptop, priced at $149, offers affordability but struggles with slow performance. While it handles basic tasks, accessing essential applications, including the web browser, requires considerable patience due to occasional delays. If you’re seeking a low-cost option and can tolerate occasional sluggishness, this might suit your needs.
