Not a good computer stalls and stops unable to load.

I wasn't expecting much from this as it only had 2 gig of ram and 32 gig SSD but it went way beyond my low expectations. Starting up the computer with zero apps running takes up 70% of the ram and the processor is pegged at 90%. I tried to open a photo and it took almost a minute to open. The only thing this laptop is good for is if you want to install chrome and use it as a web browser. I've shopped at Best Buy for years and this is the first review I have done and it is because this laptop is so bad. I didn't expect it to run like my $2,500 ASUS ROG gaming laptop but I expected to be able to use it for minor things like viewing photos.

I purchased this laptop because I needed one that was first and foremost light. This laptop is 2.2lbs, which is great for travelling and having on a daily basis. Unfortunately, the hard drive and memory are so limited that I'm getting messages from Microsoft that I don't have enough space to save updates. The Windows 10 operating system takes up at least half of the hard drive space. Keep that in mind when purchasing any laptop with 32gb hard drive. Ooops. I would still recommend this laptop for very, very, very, light use. Now, I have to spend more money to get an external hard drive. Also 2gb memory is frustratingly slow.

This laptop is exactly what I was looking for. All I need it for is surfing the web and homework and it gets the job done. And HUGE bonus that office comes pre-installed! That's like a $50 value. Obviously this laptop is on the cheaper side but its also not for the heavy user, just for simple tasks and it's easy to use.

Got me through 4yrs of college. Reliable and fast. Moderate storage.

We looked around at reviews and prices for a new second laptop. It didn't have to be top of the line, merely connectable to the internet through mobile hot spot tethering. We are using this machine for cloud based timekeeping, bookkeeping, and client invoicing in our lawn and landscape business. We bought it on May 6,2017 and it does exactly what we are needing. We feel like we made a very beneficial purchase and it will save us a ton of time having this in service for our mobile office. We consider this money very well spent!

I purchased an S100 three days ago and had some issues with installations, and access of my account online. I called tech support and gave the tech access to the system. She asked if the computer was slow, and when I said yes, I watched as she systematically disabled all my protection - Windows Defender, Malwarebytes, etc. - and then told me never to install Windows updates! I terminated that session, reactivated my protection and installed all the latest WIndows 10 updates, which offer increased protection. The probelems with my installations and account access were not solved. That was the most bizarre tech support session I have experienced in many years of computing. SInce I keep all of my files on an external HD which is not connected to this computer nothing was in danger, but it was a very odd and worrying situation. I may return the computer, as my confidence in Lenovo is sorely shaken, and the issues still exist. (The computer is not excessively slow, given the specs, but the resources are pretty limited, which may account for some of the installation problems.)

This product is incredibly slow. If you want web pages to take hours to load, then this is for you. Just to get it at an acceptable level I had to remove every power saving feature, install new drivers, etc just to get this thing working correctly. If you want it to work out of the box, get something else.

I bought this device because the reviews were great, it was white and cute, and I couldn't afford a serious laptop at the time - but you get what you pay for. I noticed trouble right away when I was composing a tweet and the tweet posted before I was ready, even though my hand was nowhere near the SEND button. I told myself it was probably something I did. Soon, the internet connection started shutting down, even though my other electronics were functioning properly and there was nothing wrong with my internet service. In the beginning, I'd be doing something like submitting a long review on Goodreads when everything I just typed would vanish. I neglected to look to the lower right corner to see if the yellow inverted triangle with the inverted "!" was overtop the wifi fan. Too bad. Everything I spent considerable time typing went "poof." After a while the internet connection would be dead and I didn't even get the inverted triangle to warn me. The wifi "fan" looked fine but the connection would be dead. I always have to copy everything before sending. Half the time the connection is dead (usually with nothing to warn me of that) and I have to hit the wifi "fan", hit DISconnect, then hit CONNECT again. Then I have to paste the document back into the box and finally, hit "SEND." Before I send THIS I will have to do all that so I don't have to re-type my gripe (or, as I usually end up doing, give up). Any time I forget to copy and the connection is dead, I just wasted my time. Then there's the travelling cursor. I'm typing away when (I was a secretary for 18 years so I don't look), bam, I look up, and the cursor has moved to some other position in the document. It's happened four times as I've typed this. Something about laying my wrists along the bottom of the smooth section of the keyboard... Like something inside is being pressed on and it's causing the device to go nuts. I'll be typing something in the message section of a news article when the article (and my unsent comment) disappears... Oh, and then there's the times when the whole document I'm typing becomes highlighted all on it's own then the whole thing vanishes. This happens so much it's just exhausting. I've read among the reviews others who've had all my issues but most have not so if you want to give this a try I have a piece of advice: Know how long you have to return this item then use the heck out of it during that time, allowing enough time to get it back to the store before you're stuck with it. (cursor just moved on its own again... can't make this up). If you're going to have big issues you will notice right away. If you use it a lot you won't be able to kid yourself about where the fault lies. So if you do see the machine doing crazy stuff take the device back to the store and get your money back. It will not fix itself and the aggravation will never end. I don't know why I and a handful of others got a dud 100S when most seem to be having no issues whatsoever. But my experience has really turned me off of all things Lenovo.

If your familiar with dial up. and you like it. buy this computer. Words don't exist on how terrible this laptop is. By far the worst computer i have ever owned and as mad as it makes me 95% of the time on how slow it is. I'm shocked its not smashed. even the most simple thing. loading a web page while listening to music. extremely slow. right out of the box. I will be buying a new one soon because this is useless. i guess you get what you pay for. but i was expecting it to work for course training

I got this laptop for my daughter for college, the laptop works great, but be ready to spent $ for M.2 SSD.

Does it download game from the Internet am a youtuber

Most of the reviews I read said this was a pretty good laptop, maybe I just got the bad on! Within 15 minutes of setting it up the trackpad stopped working, well work sometimes. You would try to scroll and the cursor wouldn't move. This also happened while I was going through my work emails and it somehow deleted my entire inbox! For that reason I would no recommend this at all.

Cheap price, not worth the low price.Was returned to the store. Very slow. Nice screen and crisp picture, but very slow, my current device is 7+ years old and still works better than this did.

This is the worse laptop I have owned. Windows 10 crashed. Cannot get to hard drive to replace it. Don't waste your money.

Save your time and money. Look elsewhere. I'm only now commenting because Best Buy sent me a reminder that I had bought it.
