Customers are saying

Customers praise the IdeaPad 1i laptop for its excellent overall performance, fast processor speed, and convenient touchscreen. Users also appreciate its ease of use, good battery life, and slim, lightweight design. The 8GB of RAM is adequate for most users, while the screen size is suitable for various needs. However, some users may find the memory limiting if they use many browser tabs.

    Not as many “special features” in comparison, but a good, solid functioning laptop for a good sale price. The Geek-squad people were extremely helpful setting it up also.

    What a wonderful experience at this store. I recently needed to exchange a chromebook that I purchased that was not meeting my needs however I was out of the return window by 5 days due to personal reasons. The store was very accommodating and took it back with a full credit to allowing me to purchase a better laptop that would work for what I needed it for. This store is the best and I'll purchase all my electronics & games from here on out!

    I like this so far , have it for little less than 3 weeks. Battery life may be questionable- 4 hours drained from 100 to 29% for moderate use, including videos and multiple applications at the same time.

    Purchased an "excellent" open box unit that gave me an error message when I tried to set it up. Returned it to the store and members of the Geek Squad helped swap it out for a different unit. They even made sure the new unit operated properly before I took it home. Kudos to them! Very pleased with the value and customer service I received from Best Buy.

    I bought this laptop for my wife. She loves the laptop, if boots up much faster then her laptop which is only a few years old. The screen is bright and plenty large enough for her. She is really enjoying the new laptop. We would recommend a Lenovo over Dell anytime. She has had 2 Dell and has had nothing buy issues only after a couple of years. We are hoping for longevity out of the Lenovo.
