You get what you pay for!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have purchased my share of laptops but this one was by far the crappiest. It came with Windows 10 S and I had to switch it out of that mode so it would be compatible with the apps my daughter used for virtual learning and it turned into a complete piece of junk! It's impossibly slow and I wish I could return it!

Not good
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this computer because wanted to get something inexpensive. This computer was cheap and i see why. Battery life is terrible, extremely slow, have to keep plugged in or else the screen goes black. Was not worth the purchase in my opinion.

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If I could give 0 stars, then I would. As soon as we turned it on and set it up, it was IMMENSELY slow. It was loading so long that sometimes, the pages had to exit out itself & told us to try it again. Never again, I’m returning it this week. Do yourself a favor and just don’t even consider this

Posted .The entry-level Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, model number 81VS009GUS, will boot from off to the Windows 10 desktop in less than 40-seconds. If you are getting slower than expected performance, 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 the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with a 64GB eMMC solid state hard drive, with the Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System installed. As you point out, the computer was working initially. It is possible that restoring the computer back to original factory settings may correct the issue you are having. Since you can no longer boot the computer, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the Micro-SD card slot on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
