Not great
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save your money. It says it comes with 1 year MS 360 included. Not instructions on how to redeem. No help when contacting support. Super slow after saving even a couple of documents. Would've returned, but my dog got ahold of the box SMH.

SLOW, can't multi task. Freezes
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not recommend buying. Bought for small child to use for distance learning. She can't be on any of the zoom calls, because it constantly freezes. She has trouble flipping through the slide on google classroom. Don't waste your money.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 8 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting less than expected battery life and you are experiencing issues with the 3.5mm headset jack on the IdeaPad 1-14, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate and could cause issues with the audio function on your computer. 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.

So Slow
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my son for light use. We haven't loaded anything on it, but it takes 30 seconds to open up the internet and each tab takes the same. All other devices are fine on the internet, so it's not our internet.
