Okay.
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer worked so well for the first 3 months, following that, I’m having glitches where the asterisk keeps being typed out as if I’m holding the button down, I can’t even get into the computer half the time because the asterisk types in the password bar. I’ve shut down and restarted the computer and is still doing the same. So irritating because the computer is brand new!

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 Laptop, model number 81VS0001US. First, 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 on your computer, resetting the computer back to original factory settings may fix the issue. If you can not 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.

Computer runs extremely slow.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can’t have but one program up and running. I wouldn’t recommend this for a student virtual learning right now. Definitely a frustrating device to use. We are going to buy something else and just consider this a loss. We just bought it in April too. If we return it we loose money too for a “restocking” fee.

Do not buy this
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Truly awful computer. Right out of the box it is incredibly slow. I even uninstalled every single program on it and just use it for the simplest of tasks and it still can't handle it. My 8 year old Macbook puts it to shame. I wouldn't pay $10 for this absolute worthless junk box.

I decided to get the cheapest on the market. I returned it after one day of use. Super slow!
