Posted .The entry-level Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, model number 81VS009GUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System and should not lag. Even if you have switched out of S-Mode, Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If there is no incompatible software installed, check the requirements and compatibility of any software you will be installing on your new computer. Be sure your new computer can support the software you are installing. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Slowest Windows 10 laptop imagineable - AVOID
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Extremely disappointing, could barely handle a browser window opening. Microsoft Teams/Skype wouldn't even work at all for basic stuff. Completely worthless outside of S-mode. It is by far the worst electronic purchase I've ever made. It's THAT slow and worthless. I'm returning it ASAP

Not worth the headaches
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop because of the price and the fair reviews. I needed something quick and this was the only one instore. I haven’t even been able to access a website due to it running so slow. The set up was easy and a breeze but actually being able to use the internet forget it. Then trying to access the settings too forever too, it’s ridiculous. I’m taking it back, not worth the headache

Do not buy!!!!!
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Waste of money!!! Biggest piece of crap!!! I bought for my girlfriend for Christmas last year and has not worked from day one!! Every time she tries to use it it goes to downloading Windows every time, the way we work makes it hard to get to the store,we finally got to go to the Daytona store and the salesman said call Lenovo and that we could also trade it in for another laptop. Not,I did the trade in app and it said that there was 0 trade in value!!! Really~! it isnt even a year old and no trade value!! Come on people with tax it was almost 250.00 I know 250.00 isnt that much but I would expect to get at least a year or two of use. I had bought a Acer back in 2016 and payed about 60.00 less and still works perfect! I would have expected something for trade but it said they would recycle for free!! Not!! The would refurbish and sell as used I would bet on that!! Best Buy may have lost a long long time customer over this deal!! I have been a loyal customer ever since Best Buy opened their doors and have spent countless dollars on all kinds of electronics from day one. This may be the end of a loyal customer for Best buy! Stand behind the product you sell!!! Very disappointed!!!

Rather Buy a Used IPad
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very slow and fragile. Would rather spend the money on a used iPad to surf the web. Was preparing for my mother-in-law and slipped off my lap. Dinged the corner and lost the screen. Couldn’t return it because of the mishap so I replaced the screen. Found out Lenovo actually discontinued this last January. Ordered new after market screen. Looks fine still clunky

Horrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this computer for my son to do his home-school assignments when schools were shut down due to Covid-19. I recognized the specs didn't promise much, but holy COW was this thing terrible, and I will be returning it. The simplest functions would lock the computer up for minutes, and I have amazing wi-fi, but this computer would make you think I had 14.4 dialup. Avoid, avoid, avoid!!!
