I would recommend this to a friend Nice alternate Chromebook
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it to have a simpler alternative for kids to browse as they go to school from home. Worth it but there is a problem with internet connectivity as the WiFi connection gets lost each time we open a new browser. Took it to Bestbuy and it works fine on their WiFi. 3 months return time is over so ended up owning it for good

I would recommend this to a friend Need to use websites and watch Netflix in bed?
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Then buy this. I was trying to explain to Amanda how computers work. She thought that my Netflix subscription was a huge hidden bank of DVDs (which she sort of understands are like “flat video tapes”) and seeing Netflix running on a device that isn’t a TV was really jarring for her. Needless to say, we did NOT “chill” during or after Netflix.
I would recommend this to a friendGreat Buy!!!

The CPU is not catching up, not even close
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is entry level, yes, i knew that, it is intended for my 7 year old son school assignments. However it is below entry level, means it is junk. The CPU cannot handle essentially any video processing. Any. It is designed and equipped with webcam, but you cannot use it. Try to run Skype, the CPU spikes to 100% and stays there almost constantly until Skype shuts down. It runs perhaps 5 minutes and done. You have to redial, reconnect. My son needs to run Zoom meeting with his teachers, but cannot, same thing. Zoom video makes the CPU run 100% capacity and in about 5-10 minutes cannot keep up and freezes. Done. Even if you shut down every other OS-nonessential program the CPU cannot handle any video processing software, like ZOOM, SKYPE or DOXY. So not sure the webcam is for. It is a faulty design, no other way to put it. I returned the first one, thinking perhaps it had some defect, but the second is doing the same thing. A question for Lenovo: what is the webcam for?

NOT Picture Perfect!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Camera on this device is HORRIBLE or I received a broken laptop. Either way, I took the laptop to Best Buy (Rt 10 E. Hanover) for service and the tech there tried to tell me nothing was wrong with it until she saw the grainy picture for herself. Also, the camera on the display laptop (same model) was much better. Best Buy/Lenovo needs to do the right thing here! REPLACE THE LAPTOP OR FIX THE CAMERA!!
