Wipe this and install KDE Neon (Linux).
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.I purchased this laptop on Black Friday for approximately $120. I would not pay anymore for this machine. This A6-9220e chip is extremely limited. I have successfully wiped this machine and installed Linux. Linux Mint XFCE and Linux Mint Mate don't have proper graphics drivers for this machine. KDE Neon worked extremely well and made this into a totally new machine. I enjoyed using it in the Linux environment. Remember to go into the Bios and change the boot order to USB first. Don't install Linux until you first bootup a live boot using the thumb drive to make sure the graphic drivers work. This is a horrible Windows 10 machine. If that is what you want it for, spend some extra money and get a chromebook or just something with a better processor and RAM, both of which I own from the same manufacturer and are good for what they are. The Windows RAM usage was using 2.72GB of 3.83GB without a single program open. You are not doing much of anything with this chip and about a 1GB of ram. You are going to have to get a thumbdrive and install Linux. I tried a bunch and KDE Neon, which I had never used before was the clear match for this machine. I was able to run some windows programs in WINE. I put the folder with the windows program in the C drive folder in the WINE folder once WINE was installed (search wine in your file directory). KDE Neon in the same starting position had 1.95 of 3.67 GB without a program open. This allowed a full gigabyte of RAM, which makes all the difference, especially when using Chrome or Firefox. It is an entry level machine. However, using KDE Neon you can run KODI with no problem. It actually runs Retro Game emulation under retroarch and I have used a dualshock 4 paired with bluetooth. It ran most stuff, though your PSP level emulation will stutter and require frameskip but will work (Set to 2 for me on the ROM I tested). As a Windows machine, I would give this a 1. As a Linux Machine, this gets a 4. It works, it is no speed demon but will do most cloud based tasks one task at a time. This is not a multitasking machine. Internal SD storage is also helpful as is the HDMI port. The Display is ok when you are at the viewing angle that works and pretty crappy otherwise. Running KDE Neon it isn't bad at all. Battery life is not horrible for an entry level machine. Once Linux KDE Neon was installed and I got all my stuff going, I hate to admit that I rather enjoyed playing with this machine. That is easy to say cause I have more powerful MACs Windows machines and chromebooks. At $120 if you are willing to wipe it, this is a great travel laptop/chromebook alternative with a nice sized screen.

Decent , basic use laptop for a reasonable price.
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.Recently enrolled into school and only had a few hundred to spare for a laptop so that I could do my online courses. This laptop saved my life. It’s not fancy with all the bells and whistles but it gets the job done. Good purchase if you just need to browse the web or complete homework. It’s not the fastest but it’ll do until I can afford something better.

Barely has enough processing power to boot up
|Posted .Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This is completely useless, it’s not capable of the most basic functions such as web browsing, it can’t even cope with navigating its own operating system. The first one melted down after about 30 mins of use, the replacement probably didn’t make it an hour before completely dying. Less powerful and effective as a computer than a 2004 flip phone. This is a terrible product, probably the worst thing I’ve ever bought, you are wasting your money, don’t buy cheap laptops, you’ll have paid for a Mac ten times over if you do, just like I have.

Good except that it overheats.
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.It works as expected except that it gets very hot. When hot, it does not perform well. We solved the problem by making a sort of harness on the bottom with packing tape, and putting a block of blue ice in the harness. When the ice thaws out, we switch it for a different block. I thought about returning it, but my son said it was a good deal for the price and changing out the blue ice was not too much of a nuisance. He's the one using it, so I let him decide. This would not work well sitting on a desk, but he mostly uses it in bed, so whatever.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop. It is possible that restoring the computer back to original factory settings may correct the issue you are having. Since you can not boot the computer, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the Micro-SD card slot on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. Once you have the computer restored, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Q: QuestionWhat is the chance that the ideapad 1 will support running linux? I did not find driver downloads on the manufacturer site for linux installs
Asked by DF.
- A:Answer I purchased two Dells with the same processor (9220e) two months ago and installed openSUSE 15.1 on them. They work great for the computer classes I teach in the mtns of Central America. The Dells only had 32 GB SSDs, but that is plenty of space for Linux and multiple students. You might want to put /var and /tmp in RAM. For what I do, they fly. I didn't have any problem with drivers, but I haven't used the sound or camera.
