Got it on sale, daughter needed a light weight computer to take to school. Not enough memory, and the keyboard has been reconfigured! I even called the store to ask about the keyboard before ordering. They said it was 'large' - nope. While it is not as bad as the Lenovo 710 I previously purchased, the shift key on right side of keyboard has the shift key smaller than normal and page up and pagedn is beside it. Should just leave keyboard - QWERTY. It has worked since 1868!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friend

With regard to the right shift key issue you mention, there is a free software APP called KeyTweak that may help you. You can switch the key functions of specific keys on your keyboard with this software, so you could change the right shift key with the key you hit in its place. Just Google search "KeyTweak" and you will find articles about what the software does and you will find the download location for this free APP.

The cost is affordable for a light laptop having windows 10. However the device is short of star age which can be remedied with a SD card

Bought this Lenovo laptop as a replacement for anotther laptop that stopped worki ng unexpectedly and it has performed well. The only problem encountered was a weak connector for the charging cable which was easily bent and had to be replaced.

Great product for a great price. It's light weight, easy to set up and web browsing is fast. There was a small issue with the touchpad not responding but I reset the device and it works great now. No physical disk drive on this laptop. Battery life is great! With moderate use (web surfing over wifi, some YouTube watching) I got almost 9 hours of use from a full charge.

This is not a power horse, so keep your expectations low. Price and features give this a good value when used for internet and light office work. Is light and can be carried around without issues. So far working great.

I got this laptop, because I was using a Dell Inspiron (AND I HATED IT) and I wanted something to hold me over, until I could afford the Lenovo X270 in August. This is a nifty little laptop. It is a bit slow, but that is to be expected since it has so little memory. I would suggest that if one is keeping it beyond a couple months, that they expand the RAM. For me, this laptop does everything I require of it and MS Office also works on it well, so I am satisfied. Although it is slow, I like it so much better then the Dell. It is light weight and portable, with a decent battery life. When I get the new one, I will hand this one off to one of my students. Also I could not beat the price of $190.00. Definitely worth it!

Love the slim and light feel to it. Good for Internet and free Microsoft subscription. I wish that it had more GB and was not aware that it did not have a disk drive when I got it.

My nephew turned 13 years old and decided to get a Lenevo chromebook for himself. He wanted something light and easy to use. He likes playing his Xbox games, goes on YouTube, and does his school work. It has an easy set-up and it's easy on the eyes, too. This Lenovo chromebook is the newer model than its older model that looks the same, but with a different sku number. It's a great buy for entertainment and doing some work. It's not meant for heavy usage or heavy gaming, but so far it has held up pretty well. Charges quickly and stays charged for up to 8 to 10 hours, although depending on usage. Overall, it's worth the investment.

Very well priced for someone needing a basic computer. Probably not for the extreme multi tasker though. It does slow down when you have too many windows open.

I read lots of positive reviews but should have done my research on the amount of memory this laptop contains. It must be intended for occasional use by people who access nearly everything via the cloud. The laptop didn't have enough available memory to download basics such as virus protection until I cleared out some programs that came with the computer. A computer tech confirmed that this laptop has less memory than my iPhone. Pros: It is lightweight and was easy to set up.

It's a little underpowered with 2GB of RAM, but it's good for word processing and Web browsing. Its light weight also makes it a great travel laptop.

This is an entry level, light use system. It uses Windows 10 Home 32-Bit as its operating system, which requires less than 1GB of RAM to run. There is a 32GB solid state hard drive for quick boot up and quick loading of programs and files. This device has the latest WiFi capability, with 802.11AC connectivity. It comes with a free 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365, a $69.00 value. If your requirements fit this profile, this device is a good choice.

I bought it for my kid so he can do school homework and expend some time in internet. I initially choose it because it was a chip option while I didn't have a budget for a new computer but now that he has been using it I believe it was an excellent choice. Very decent performance including all kind of MS Office usage, lot of YouTube videos and navigation.
Obvious cons for an old guy like me is the lack of hard drive but my 11 year old kid is handling very well the storage with the Micro SD card (I had to buy) and tons of cloud storage from MS Office 365.
