Q: Weight? How Many USB Ports?
A: Hi SDG92, This IdeaPad 1i weighs about 3.5 pounds and features two USB-A ports (1x USB 2.0, 1x USB 3.2 Gen 1) and one USB-C port (supports data transfer only). Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Does this specific laptop have upgradable/removable RAM and SSD?
A: Hey Anon, The 8GB of memory this IdeaPad 1i comes equipped with is soldered to the systemboard, but there is one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot for memory upgrades. Also, there is one M.2 PCIe® 4.0 x4 slot that is currently occupied by the preinstalled 256GB drive, so if you wish to expand storage, you will have to swap it out for a higher capacity SSD. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Does this USB-c 3.0 support power distribution?
A: Hey Joe, The USB-C port featured with this IdeaPad 1i only supports data transfer. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
A: Hey again luislast, We appreciate your concern. We wish to provide as much information as possible and be transparent with our responses. We will phrase this messaging differently in hopes to provide understanding for you. Generally, Lenovo does not test the maximum memory supported for each model. When sharing memory upgradability capabilities, we try to disclose if this specification point is based on test results with available Lenovo memory offerings (meaning since Lenovo offers a configuration of the computer in question with more memory, it has therefore been tested to support this memory capacity) or if the results are based on tests for product readiness. There are users who state in reviews if they were able to upgrade the memory and to what capacity, and we try to share this in responses as well with the disclosure that since this has not been tested by Lenovo, we cannot verify the claim's validity. For example, this model IdeaPad 1 has a max memory listed of 16GB total, with it featuring one memory soldered to systemboard, the 8GB preinstalled, and you could add 8GB SO-DIMM DDR4-3200 to the open DDR4 SO-DIMM slot. Since this model's documented disclosure for max memory is that "The max memory is based on the test results with current Lenovo memory offerings.", we know that Lenovo offers a 16GB configuration of this IdeaPad 1i series. In user reviews, some state that they added 16GB DDR4 in the open slot instead of 8 and were satisfied with the results, but this does not align with Lenovo's documented memory maximum, so we cannot endorse this. We hope that this helps, and please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: This laptop has soldered RAM and SSD or can it be upgraded?
A: Hey TonyCano84, The memory is upgradable with the included 8GB being soldered to the systemboard, and one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot open (dual-channel capable). Also, the included storage is a 256GB M.2 2242 SSD installed in the single M.2 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot. Our records indicate this model has a maximum storage offering of 1TB, so we can verify that you can expand storage to this size. Although, it's likely what you can use 2TB+ M.2 2242 drives without issue. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
Q: Is there pc come with Windows 11?
A: Hey Pinkivy, Yes, this IdeaPad 1i ships with Windows 11 Home preinstalled. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!
A: Hey, We are sorry to hear that you were dissatisfied with this resource embedded in the product page. If there is anything in particular you are looking for regarding this IdeaPad 1i, please let us know and we'd be happy to assist you more precisely.
Q: Is the memory upgradable? How many memory slots are available to upgrade? The memory is soldered?
A: Hey Grinner, The memory is upgradable with the included 8GB being soldered to the systemboard, and one DDR4 SO-DIMM slot open (dual-channel capable) for more DDR4 3200 memory. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

I think this is one of the best newer laptop deals available in the 15.6 inch screen size models. The Intel Core i5-1335U CPU easily handles office, Internet, and light gaming tasks faster and better than competitors in this price range. The 8GB RAM is plenty to start with Windows 11 Home. The IPS picture has vivid colors and dark black compared to gray found on inferior TN screen types. It even has the touch screen feature! I did notice a slight backlight bleed on one edge of the screen but only noticable on a solid black background. I've seen this subtle screen variation on multiple laptops from different manufacturers so it may or may not occur with ANY purchase. I turned OFF the Flip to Start feature which powers the laptop on just by opening the screen hinge. I use the power button instead. Note that the 256GB SSD is fast storage but this part may be supplied by a number of different brands or models. It is kind of an SSD lottery. Mine was made by UMIS, a subsidiary of Lenovo. This laptop has frequently sold out when on sale and I continue to watch Best Buy inventory for other friends and family members needing replacement of older unsupported Windows 10 computers.
