    I bought this laptop just to use as a browser while on vacation and not much else. It does accomplish that, but it is slow even at that. I would not recommend for anything needing more power or speed.

    This computer was a huge disappointment. From the start, it ran extremely slow and we could never get it to work properly. The performance issues made it frustrating to use for even basic tasks. After this experience, we will not be purchasing from this brand again.

    I wasn't expecting much, but it's even worse than I thought. It can't even open a Google Chrome tab in less than 5 minutes. Not even worth it for a budget laptop as it literally can't do anything.

    Very slow, doesn’t allow steam

    This computer is incredibly slow. I timed it, it took 5 whole minutes to open the search engine, and another 5 minutes to load my search, just for it to not even work. It’s tough to download things, and if you would like to download steam to play games on, this computer does not allow it. The settings were also frustratingly slow to change, I had to change my name several times after a typo before it actually stuck. The weather menu also kept popping up despite me not ever clicking it. I had high hopes for this, and was disappointed, I do not recommend :((

      Hello, EEFF. We are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad 1 has not met your expectations. This model, along with other entry level laptops, ships with Windows 11 in S-Mode. A more secure, lighter version of the Windows 11 Operating System that only allows the downloading of applications from the Microsoft Store. If you try to launch or install an executable or .exe file, the system prevents it. Should you desire to switch to Windows 11 Home to download what you are after, here is a link to a Microsoft webpage that shares how to do so: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85 Lenovo

    This was more of a budget option laptop and i found in my experience that it had some faults. This was returned and i was refunded. I believe if it didnt have any hardware issues that it would be best used for google workspace.
