Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this after my other computer started to die on me. I primarily use it for school. This is an incredibly light computer light computer, as well as really quiet. It has a fast start up time and great for basic school work and internet use. I haven't used it for gaming, and don't I don't expect to use it as a gaming laptop. The touch screen's response is good. Although I don't use the tablet mode very often. The resolution of the screen is great. The speakers are on the underside of the laptop, so I do turn it up quite a bit to hear it when playing video. Videos and music sound better in tablet or tent mode. Overall, a great thin and portable laptop. I also enjoyed that, this computer didn't come with a lot of bloatware. The fan is also in the rear, which is nice for having it on your lap. There is a ton of palm rest space, which can actually be a pain, but with everything else, it's worth it. The specs were great for what I wanted and within my budget. I spent all weekend looking online for laptops and 'am very happy with this purchase.

I'm fairly impressed with this as a budget computer that I paid around $200 for. Not sure it's worth it for much more than that. The Good: - Full 360 degree screen means it can be folded back completely flat and used as a tablet. Touch screen seems to work well. - If you look at cpu benchmarks, the 4405U is fairly impressive and power efficient compared to other budget processors. DDR4 RAM. - While you can hear the fans quietly running, the computer runs pretty cool. - The trackpad is decent, with the usual multi touch gestures supported. - Battery life is good and it charges quickly. - SD card slot, Ethernet, HDMI ports are nice to have built in. The Bad: - This thing is super sluggish out of the box. All the Lenovo bloatware slowed the system to a crawl. The Lenovo software for automatic switching from tablet to laptop did not work reliably. - Two finger tap for right click didn't work without a registry edit. (HKEY_CURRENT_USER\SOFTWARE\Synaptics\SynTP\TouchPadSMB2cTM2334 - change 2FingerTapAction to a value of 2) I reinstalled a fresh copy of Windows 10, removing all files and settings, and it runs much better. All the drivers were automatically installed after checking for updates, and it's easy to switch to tablet mode manually by swiping from the right edge of the screen and pressing the button instead of using the Lenovo software. Installing an SSD and memory upgrade would probably make this thing extremely speedy, but I don't want to invest any more right now. The Ugly: - The size and placement of the right shift key is atrocious and borderline unusable. It's been shrunk to the size of an arrow key and located to the right of the up arrow, so you're constantly pressing the up arrow instead of the shift key. I can't fathom why they thought altering the keyboard layout like this was a good idea. - The screen is really bad. 1366 x 768 resolution might actually be a benefit for older users, but often things look blurry. The picture seems washed out and viewing angles are narrow. The screen looks especially bad in portrait tablet mode - you cannot get the angle right for a decent picture. Landscape or laptop mode, when viewing head on, is acceptable but not good. In summary: This thing is pretty cool and well worth it (around the $200 price point) if you can overlook and spend the time correcting its shortcomings. If they fixed the right shift key, put a better screen in it, and had the option to ship without bloatware, it would be nearly perfect.

It is a simple, basic 2 in 1 laptop/tablet ideal for small trips. Perfect for emails, web-browsing and logging into work server and with a decent size 14" screen. PROS: Not bulky, not heavy. decent battery and cheap. CONS: Very hard to increase RAM - need to send it to service for that, slow, basic windows 10 version (not PRO).

Was in the market for a 2-in-1 to use not only as a laptop but also as a tablet for reading. I thought about drawing/sketching but since I don't like the mushy tip stylus, and hard tip ones are kinda pricey, I have not done much of it other than to test it out. My best likable feature is the ability to flip the screen past 180 and the keyboard automatically becomes disabled. Windows 10 has had some issues with switching to Tablet mode when the screen is rotated backwards but it is simple enough to switch to tablet mode from the system tray so no biggey there. I do have a small issue with the keyboard. While the left shift key is larger than most other keys the right side shift is only small square AND it is on the very outside to the right of the up arrow key which I have accidentally pressed thinking it was the shift key. All in all this little 2-in-1 was worth the money for me. I have used it in both airports and on airplanes as a reading tablet and the battery life was great. Lasted an entire flight from Tampa FL to Chicago IL without problems.

I held off a few months so that I could take this laptop through a trial run. I initially planned on buying an HP, but the one I wanted wasn't in stock and I needed one that day. My son was also I need of a new laptop so figured I'd use his temporarily and pass it on once I purchase mine. Surprisingly, I actually fell in love with this laptop. It's lightweight, touchscreen functionality is great, and it has enough speed to process large amounts of data quickly. My dislikes are the keyboard isn't ordered in standard key configuration so typing documents is a little cumbersome and it takes a while to adjust. There's no cd/DVD drive so if u don't have access to streaming services or the internet, watching movies wont be possible. Overall, this is a good little laptop that packs a bite size punch if you're in the market for something moderately priced.

We chose this laptop for use at home when we don't want to be using the desktop and while traveling in our RV. My husband selected it and I was a bit skeptical as I thought we should choose a higher end product. I was wrong. We have had it for over a month and use it daily. I am not an integrated mouse person and so I love that it also has a touch screen. Our daughter who is in college has a more expensive laptop that has touch screen and can fold and be used as a tablet also and she wanted to switch computers with us. We declined. Perfect size for what we need and the right price.

I had a MacBook Pro that met an unhappy demise with a bottle of water. Having worked with Macs for over 15 years I was a little scared to go for a PC, but my employer uses Lenovo and they are the most resilient machines I've ever seen. No glitches, no problems. So when I got into a situation where I HAD to replace my dead Mac right away I saw this super deal on a Lenovo touchscreen and I've been very pleased with it. To be honest, I don't use the app features very much and sometimes the screen is tough to see in certain light, but overall I find this machine to be an incredible deal.

This had been a great computer for average use but a tad slow. I will not complain about that one bit for the amazing price we paid. Very much worth the money. Touch screen works great!

This is a decent computer for internet browsing and schoolwork, but is not great for anything beyond that. Very portable, decent battery life, average speed

While I was shopping my minimum features were 4gb and a hard drive within my budget. I was also leaning toward a touch screen with the best processor possible within my budget. I shopped and looked around and finally the tv I wanted came on sale and this laptop at the same time. This thing is perfect for my needs. I would say this is a better than entry level laptop. 90% of what I do is on the internet. Like free flash games email and such other simpler things. I'm not a big time gamer nor do I use demanding software like engineering or graphic arts type stuff. For the average home user, non gamer I think this is perfect. Even for a student doing school work at the HS or even college level online I feel this would be a good option. I haven't had a problem yet. Oh and with what I saved buying this I bought a little stereo. Best Buy is awesome.

I bought this laptop after seeing it on a Best Buy Deal of the day email. I read most of the reviews which indicated it would be perfect for my needs. I mainly need a low cost laptop , that I would be able to run Microsoft office (access, excel, PowerPoint, word), keep up with emails, stream videos (Netflix , YouTube etc), and maybe an occasional game. To my surprise this Pentium laptop is the newer pentium that allows the laptop to run DDR4 memory, which makes the laptop feel very zippy. After about 1hr of having the laptop at home, I was convinced this was a laptop that should of been more then the $329 I paid for it. The screen is not the best I've seen, but it's still very clear with narrow viewing angles. The case feels very sturdy, and typing is very clicky ( I like that). The keyboard isn't backlit , but it's ok cause I don't usually use my laptop at night with no light. Every game I've downloaded from the windows store (minus the triple A games) run flawless on this laptop. Please remember this is not a gaming laptop, and should be over looked if you want to play GTA or COD etc. if your looking to play games that would normally run on your tablet or phone this laptop will have no problem running it. After having th laptop only an hour and knowing I'm going to keep it, I opened the case and installed a 525gb Crucial SSD ($100), and 8gb DDR4 ($47) memory module (this laptop only takes 1 module so it runs single channel). I thought the laptop was zippy when I first got it, and now this thing blazing quick. Startup takes 6 -10 seconds and programs open instantly. So for a little under $500 I bought and made this into a awesome laptop. But don't get me wrong, even with out the extras I put into it, this is still a great Inexpensive Laptop, and would highly recommend it to anyone who needs it for the same things I'm using it for.

I needed a laptop for school and this is perfect. It is easy to work with and I love how it flips! It may take a few seconds to start up and flip(don't worry it's not broken it just takes a bit). I can use Word and surf the net easily. It came with a few games too so I am never bored. I love the layout and how easy it is to find everything and operate. It does not come with a CD/DVD drive. Before this I only bought laptops from another company and never thought of switching, but I am pleasantly surprised with Lenovo. I would most definitely recommend it to a friend and would consider buying another in the future. The only issue I have had is that I poke at other laptop screens expecting them to be touchscreen too. So overall, awesome laptop.

Really nice laptop. Price was good, especially with rewards. Not too heavy. Fast and snappy. Wished it had backlit keyboard and Full HD, but then it would have been more expensive. Love the touch screen.

For the price this is an excellent laptop, it has enough memory, display is nice and bright, thin and light weight. I think my grandchild will love it specially it's 2 in 1 configuration with touch screen.

The quality is nice and the laptop is very light. Windows 10 is still Windows and this machine isn't exactly a beast (so heavy gaming probably won't work all that well), but it's a good machine at a good price. Tablet mode is cool, though I worry about the buttons being exposed behind the screen when folded. The touch screen can be used in laptop mode though, so that's a cool feature. The kids love it for their educational games and schoolwork.

I love my Flex 4 Ideapad. It does everything it said it would. It boots up fast and it is not loaded with a lot of useless programs. A great basic everyday computer. I use it at work via the HDMI port which is essential and I use it to read PDF books at home which I download. It is great in the kitchen when I work to display recipes in the tent mode and it is a laptop when I want to type emails or work on my web site. The size is perfect not too big and not too small. its also light enough to carry with me to Personal Chef jobs.

I love the versatile positions I can use this laptop in. During the day, it's in the typical laptop position, using the normal keyboard. But, if I'm on the couch, watching tv, I can easily flip it to the tent position, and use the onboard keyboard. I love pulling the lower screen from the right to the center and finding convenient controls including screen brightness right there. In tablet mode, I had to search for the option that left the task bar on all the time at the bottom - I didn't like swiping to get a specific app. I'm having a few issues - I'm used to swype on my tablet - I want the same online typing experience. I often lose the spell corrector when it's in tablet mode, and three times now, it tells me my control key is in the locked position which basically lets me do no typing on the physical keyboard or the virtual. I have to close the computer screen down, and reopen and somehow magically it disables the locked control key. I need to research that. I do find that it's on the slow side - all I'm doing is email and web browsing, but I have lots of windows open and sometimes it just seems slow for not much running. I may look into putting more RAM in it. The kindle app is a bit of disappointment, I can't find a way to highlight text and then send it to me like on my phone or my tablet. Many of my browers windows are mis-sized - and I can't get the Next button if it's way at the bottom unless I turn the resizeable window on. Frustrating. I like the size - I can do all my work on it, consume media, read my books and feel like it's just about the right size for that kind of portability.

Touch screen, 360 degree hinge, lightweight and thin, solid port choices. Bought it while it was on sale for $299, popped an SSD in and also bought an 8GB stick of RAM. Now it flies with Windows 10 on it and it's pretty much a YOGA now. All I wish for would be a backlit keyboard.

The IdeaPad is a nice laptop with a couple of quirks. The good is the ability to flex into four different configurations. I wanted a laptop and tablet however it's a little heavy when using as a tablet. The battery life is decent and charges quickly. It is a little slow but if you are only doing basic things that don't require great speed then it will do what you need it to do.

I bought this for my wife to use in her Craft workshop. After researching I selected this Lenovo product based on its functionality and price. The computer is exactly what my wife needed to do internet searches and check email. It has a small footprint is light and was very easy to setup. This is my first experience with Lenovo products, i usually purchase Dell, but based on my experience with this laptop it will not be my last. I will certainly consider Lenovo products when I replace my desktop unit in the future. For my needs this was an excellent product and the price for functionality was very good.
