Customer Ratings & Reviews

I recently bought this laptop at a discounted price at a local Best Buy. So far everything works well. I can deal with the fan noise that goes on every now and then. There's just one con or problem for me when it comes to this laptop which is the surface or texture of the touchpad. From my previous laptop, it takes a bit more effort to move the mouse pointer, it's just not as smooth its a bit rough and sometimes when I'm trying to move the mouse pointer it would randomly click or the whole touchpad would click. I though the left and right buttons would just do that but the whole touchpad would click when I tried it out a few times.

Laptop performs decently for its specs. Battery life is a couple hours, a little slow to boot up (compared to an SSD), screen is bright when plugged in to an outlet. Do keep in mind that the keyboard is not backlit. That was one feature I didn't realize was missing until trying to use it in the dark. Highly recommend getting a bluetooth mouse since the trackpad stops responding momentarily every so often. Trackpad also lacks a scroll bar. Got this laptop for my daughter to do her coursework. Works great for MS office, web browsing, etc. For those tasks it is more than adequate.

I had been looking for an affordable yet functional laptop for weeks, reading reviews from multiple sources. I finally settled for this Lenovo Ideapad and am very happy with my purchase. I bought it on black friday for $280 (originally $380), and for its price it works great. Not too impressed with the screen but I have no complaints with the keyboard, trackpad or audio. Of course aesthetics aren't going to be like a sophisticated $1000+ laptop, but everything is functional. I've only had this laptop for a little over a week, will update if anything changes.

Its a great laptop for the price.Love the 5.0ghz ac wireless router built in and the minimal programs.Also like windows 10..and the begginers how to videos to get you started ..its a great pc laptop,fast processor,good work productivity,only dislike is the battery is a 2cell so unplugged use is short depending on settings.does have a built in microphone and video camera,video camera is subpar in quality,does have dvd writer and a HDMI out.

Great laptop for the price paid! Works pretty fast and the amount of storage makes it really reliable for a student

This laptop is ok, it needs a few more USB or HDMI ports and maybe a fingerprint scanner. Overall it's ok not as fast I thought and it does take a while to update when first setting it up. The screen does have it's down side, having limited viewing angle. The touch pad would have been better having being similar to what we are already used to on smart phones (don't really use it much) I prefer using a mouse anyway. Overall it's got great memory capacity and looks ok.

I was stunned to find a laptop this good for the low price! It’s fast and lightweight and I would definitely recommend it to anyone who’s looking for a good laptop without breaking the bank!

Honestly, this is not my target computer at the beginning. I am actually looking for a slightly better computer to enjoy my diablo 3 . The Bestbuy advisor just suggest me to get this one since I am a light user. The speed of the computer for for general use and gaming both perform very well. As you know this is not a SSD nor it is a 16GB ram computer. I guess the APU system really helps to boost the gaming experience. And especially I get this one on Black Friday, which is only $280+ tax. A very good deal for this laptop.

Being the 1st laptop I've owned, this feels quite good. Pro: The speed and overall memory loads are great (8GB and 1TB HD). It opens very quick and response time is great. Con: Screen needs adjusting to get the perfect angle, no backlight keys and the battery is way under powered, but what do you expect from the price point. Overall, I give this laptop a 4/5 because of the processing speed and memory, but you could do better if you had a higher budget.

What it says. I needed a new computer for home office, but I travel a lot so I wanted a laptop. It had a lot of power for a good price. Also has an attractive design. Be warned: 1) this isn’t an elite gaming system. Functional computer but not something for the latest games. 2) Battery life is VERY poor. Don’t plan to use this without a plug in for more than two hours. I knew this, and the computer spends most of its life plugged in, so all good.

So far so good. Really lightweight easy to use. I primarily use just for internet and a little work. So perfect for that and couldn't beat the price. The only negative I have is when unplugged the brightness goes down which is annoying to me, I like the screen bright. There may be a way to change that but haven't found it yet. When it's unplugged it says brightness is 100% but it dims significantly after you unplug. Other than that it has been great.

The AMD 12th generation chip in this machine performs very well. I like it better than the 7th generation Intel i3. It's fast. And of course, AMD Radeon graphics are better than Intel HD graphics. The 8g memory is plenty for multitasking and keeps things running fast. The terabyte drive gives you plenty of storage space. And the built-in AC wireless keeps the Internet streaming with no buffering. And it has a very nice silvery sleek design. Very well worth it in this price range.

This little budget computer handled all tasks with no lag. The graphics are crisp and clean. Exactly what I was looking for and as nervous as I was Because of the price, it is an excellent computer. A year later with heavy usage. Minecraft runs all day every day with no problems. Not recommended for heavy gaming, it will start to lag. The only down side for me is the very non sensitive touch pad, and the seemingly flimsy feel. It's not flimsy though! Also, it's a pain to access or replace any parts inside but it's doable. The battery is extremely hard to access unless you've got all the right pc tools. Replacing the keyboard I can't even imagine trying to do. I'd leave that to the experts. Overall, for a daily computerto do all the online tasks needed,even for heavy business loads, it's great.

I paid $260 for this laptop as a black friday special. I will review it based on that price. It is a very powerful laptop for this price, in fact it is as powerful as laptops that are in the $500-600 range. There are some corners that are cut, IE The screen isnt that great, it doesnt get very bright and resolution isnt 1080p. The battery life is not that great, 2.5 hrs is what I normally get. Neither of these issues concern me much as it is used mostly plugged in and connected to dual monitors. I needed a laptop for my wife that would be powerful enough for her to create and edit documents, surf the web and some light video editing. This fit the bill. This laptop however is VERY loud. Sometimes it annoys me but she doesnt seem to mind that much but she has asked why it is so loud. The fan whirs like nothing I have heard from any laptop in the past 10 years.

It's a great laptop, fast , A12, 8G of ram, 2.7 GH . Some people complaining about fan noise, For me I can't hear fan's sound , I got a cooler to protect the laptop from overheating . Some complained about battery life , if you have a lot of devices connected to it and have brightness at highest settings all this draws power out of the laptop , some software are not fully compatible with windows 10 , try uninstalling the programs and reinstalling , I tried this with Photoshop Elements 14 and skipped the Elements update which was laggy with windows 10.

Bought this laptop on sale and so far it's been great. I only need it for basic web surfing and computer programs and so far it's been super fast and smooth. No lag times like my old laptop this is replacing. It's also super lightweight and thin. I don't think you'll find a better laptop under $500!

Its a good computer for the price that I paid and it fits my needs. Its not a gaming laptop, but you can play easy games that doesnt require really hard graphics and there's no problem with watching movies. The batteri time is lacking abit, didnt last for more than 1,5 hours when unplugged.

When I saw the configuration, My expectations were very high as the Laptop would be one of the Best that I would be owning. I received the Laptop yesterday. After initial setup, the Laptop started giving Noise. Upon noticing the source of the noise, I found that FAN underneath the laptop was making that noise. When I tried to connect Pen Drive/External Hard drive into the USB Port, the PORT was so hard that I could not insert the USB. I did some google to recheck the configuration and could not find any further details on the kind of USB Port provided. Later I tried again and pressed really hard taking risk and found that I was able to connect to USB port. The ports are really hard to connect/insert. Speed: So far as it is new Laptop, the Speed is good. Would monitor this for a week and come back with an update.

I don't use a computer super often at home, so I wasn't looking to spend a ton of money replacing my old one. This one was a great deal. It's not loaded down with a ton of programs I don't need. It is fast and has plenty of memory for all I need. I got it on a Black Friday deal for $279, but would definitely be willing to pay full price. It's defintiely a much better computer than I would expect for under $400.

8 gigs of memory (expandable to 20) Quad core A12 Radion and one Tb HDD for $280! Its such a good deal, I bought two of them. Read other reviews and it just got even better. The only thing I wish it had is ether better speakers or a better location for the speakers for the device and having a solid state drive for the hard drive. Other than that, it’s Great!
