Customer Ratings & Reviews

This is a low cost decent Laptop. You can use it for browsing, simple work in documents etc. Not for Heavy use or gaming. Do not expect speedy work or browsing either, considering it running Windows 11 on 4 GB memory - it is tough to expect a quicker response for any task. It takes time to settle down after a few updates. I wanted an additional Laptop for my kids to complete occasional school Homework which it is able to do, however if you start loading more applications and demanding operation, this laptop will lag behind and get you frustrated soon. I would recommend this laptop only if you are on a tight budget or need a spare for kids/light tasks.

This was an open box special so I got it at a great price. With a manufacturing date of Aug 2023 I was a little surprised that it didn't come with a universal USB-C power supply. It also has the large SD card slot that requires an adapter. It came with the latest windows OS but that seemed to be a bit much for the little processor. It would occasionally freeze up, I'm guessing trying to catch up on things it needed to do in the OS. So I dumped windows and loaded Debian-Linux. It works fine now, plenty of speed working with Debian and no freeze ups. I did have to spend $11 on a n USB network dongle since Debian didn't have the driver for the on board network device. If you're comfortable with a Linux OS this will be a good little device. If you need to stick with windows it may be a little disappointing.

Don't get me wrong, it's an awesome computer. My battery lasts about 8 hours before needing to recharge, and it charges super fast! I have a couple of problems though. One, you only get 128 GB of storage. It's great for web browsing and low-end tasks, but not for anything else. My second issue is the charger. It doesn't go in easily, so you have to wiggle it to make it go in. Overall, it's an awesome computer and I would recommend this if you need a computer for school or work without breaking your wallet.

Originally got the computer for school, It works great although it can get a bit slow when one to many tabs are open. Overall I recommend.

Great laptop for the price, it can be a bit slow upon first start up, or when too many browser tabs are open. Very useful if its for a child or if your just on a tight budget.

Worked well but a lil slow Also great for work and other things

It’s a little slow but does the job the battery life is good it’s a good school computer

Its freeze alot but it will have to do since I was on a budget

I love the laptop itself and have had no problems with it. The only thing I don’t like is the Microsoft S mode and not being able to download whatever app I want. I use it for college and it definitely gets the job done.

This Lenovo laptop is great for teenagers to do their schoolwork on it can even manage to play games with quality speed. It’s a great buy , I have no complaints.

I like it a lot it’s fast sometimes and I like how it’s a Game laptop so it has many features on It and i like that it doesn’t die fast like others for overall I like my laptop.

It’s a very good laptop for school and work, has all apps for school

Nice entry level laptop. Enough power to browse most websites, look at accounts, look at news websites

I gets the job done! Great product! I would recommend this product to a friend.

Accurate, is as advertised. •

To start with, this is a lightweight, sleek, and elegant-looking IdeaPad. The overall look of the IdeaPad is great and is nothing short of any high-end laptop. The screen size is 14" with a resolution of 1366 X 768 with an energy-efficient LED backlight. The Windows 11 Home in S Mode provides the most secure experience with faster boot times, better responsiveness, and much-needed protection against phishing and malware. The configuration of Celeron N4020 processor, 4GB RAM, 64GB eMMC Storage is not adequate to be the primary device but comes in handy for some light multitasking. It comes with two USB-A ports, 1 USB-C, and an SD card slot. To my surprise, it boots up instantly just flip the screen and I am ready to go. The feel of the keyboard is nice and the keys are really comfortable to use. The touch is of decent size and is quite responsive. The battery life is decent and lasts up to 11 hours with light usage throughout the day. This in general doesn't meet my day-to-day requirements but is just the right thing for my daughter and she is enjoying this a lot. With the price that it is available, I am pretty sure this will be hands down the best option in this category If I compare this with a higher configuration laptop then it will be not fair but it has some shortcomings like the processor being a little slow and the limited RAM and storage making it further slower but no complaints with the price tag of this. Overall, this Lenovo Ideapad 1 14.0" laptop is a great option for users who do not want to put in a lot of money but still can do the regular stuff. This meets my middle school-going daughter's requirements to the fullest and can be easily carried in the school. This can be a good second or third option for an electronic device and can also be hooked to a TV if needed.

Alright, so I got my hands on the Lenovo Ideapad 1 with the 14.0" display, Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM, and 128GB eMMC storage. I figured it'd be a solid work buddy for basic web stuff and email when I travel and don't need a full set-up. Build quality is actually pretty impressive, and the 14.0" display is decent enough for basic work tasks and the occasional Netflix binge. Plus, it's lightweight and easy to haul around, so that's a win. Let's be frank. The Celeron N4020 is passable for basic web browsing and email, but don't expect it to pull off any superhero stunts. It struggles with heavy-duty tasks or when you're trying to juggle multiple apps at once. Storage-wise, the 128GB eMMC is okay, but you'll likely need a SD card to store more stuff. That is nice that it accepts the SD card in the right side of the PC. Ports are fine. Two USB-As, a USB-C and an HDMI which is honestly, is more than this PC could handle if you had a bunch of things to plug into it. Now, here's the deal – for basics like web browsing, checking emails, and using web apps like Google Docs, it's decent. I'd even say those might run better than throwing Office at it, especially if you're not dealing with monster-sized spreadsheets. And hey, this laptop does serve a purpose. I'm thinking of keeping it as a guest computer for when my folks swing by and just want to chill on the web. It's not a powerhouse, but it does the job if your job is just to chill online.

The Ideapad from Lenovo arrived intact, it comes with the charger and user guide, and out of the box it looks very nice, it is slim, and it is light in weight at only 3 lbs. and has a nice finish of the Cloud Grey color. This is not my first Lenovo; I also have the Lenovo Yoga and that one is great, and the Ideapad is for different tasks as well as for my kids to use, it is made for everyday use for different reasons like listening to videos, podcasts, music or anything else can be heard with its speakers that offer Dolby Audio or with wired headphones and finally via Bluetooth. I really like that it comes with Windows 11 S mode, it is more secure especially because my kids are going to be using this laptop. I like the great value of the Ideapad because it includes plenty of essentials and more, like the inputs that it offers, SD Card Reader, USB A 2.0 USB A 3.2 Gen 1, HDMI, USB C 3.2 Gen 1 and Headphone/mic combo input. These connections work well and also it does connect with WiFi 6. I really like that it does have a built in webcam with a slide privacy shutter so making video calls is easier. Something else to really like is the battery life, it lasts a long time, and I do not know if it has fans but it is very quiet. The things that might need improvement are the following, setup is easy but it takes a long time to do so, I found it easier to just leave it updating while I was doing something else. Also at startup, it takes time to boot up and sometimes it runs smoothly and sometimes it takes its time. Browsing sometimes takes longer and from time to time it gives me a message, “this page isn’t responding” and it just takes longer than usual. On the other hand it is of great value so the Ideapad is for web browsing, video calling, watch videos, listen to music, kids to do their homework on it as well as taking it to and back from school. My suggestion is to be patient, once setup it will run slow but not all the time and I cannot compare to my other Lenovo because they are very different from one another and for different uses.

The PC is furiously slow with Windows 11--even in S mode. BUT, this is a great PC to use with Linux. I installed Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS long term support (a well supported flavor of Ubuntu Linux KDE), and all the drivers installed perfectly. It works extremely well on Kubuntu. For example, the function keys all work properly. Also, the tap to click, two finger swipe to scroll can all be turned on in settings. I tried other versions of Linux as well, but it does not recognize the WiFi adapter. For those looking for a long battery life, low cost computer, and are comfortable with installing Linux, I highly recommend this computer. If only planning on using Windows, do not buy this as it will be a bad experience. I own this same model with the 64GB storage, same ram and cpu. I contacted Lenovo, and was recommended to reformat with their Windows download, and other troubleshooting such as hardware tests. All the tests passed, but it would not solve the lack of processing power needed for Windows to run smooth. Thanks for reading.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14” is a solid budget laptop that gets the job done for basic tasks. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, making it great for travel or casual use. The build quality is decent for the price, and the keyboard is comfortable enough for everyday typing. Performance is fine for web browsing, streaming, and light productivity, but it’s not built for anything too demanding. The Celeron processor and 4GB of RAM mean multitasking can feel slow at times, and heavier applications struggle to run smoothly. The 128GB eMMC storage is a nice touch at this price point, but space fills up quickly. The screen is adequate—not the brightest or sharpest, but it works for basic use. Battery life is decent, and it charges fairly quickly. Overall, this is a good option if you need an affordable, no-frills laptop for simple tasks. Just don’t expect high performance or premium features.
