Satisfied with my computer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Glad I made the decision to purchase my Lenovo. I wanted a big screen. But now I'm glad I picked up the smaller 14" screen. It's not a lot of visual difference. I'm liking the convenience of the all around size of the Lenovo 14".

Absolutely terrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is so slow that it barely functions as a computer. Even navigating around the Windows menus regularly hangs. It can't manage simple web browsing, multiple tabs, _any_ application. I know it's cheap, but it simply doesn't work.

Cheap for a reason
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.SLOW. Too slow to use for anything interesting. YouTube? No way. Same with any other video. Barely able to browse simple websites. If all you want to do is stay offline and write stuff locally, it might be barely adequate. In 2021, that is nobody. Any Chromebook will be faster.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 Laptop 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 only getting 4 to 5 hours of battery life, 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.

A great high school student option.

Laptop is not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this product from my wife to use has a work PC. You know what the saying goes, you pay for what you get. This is exactly what happened with this laptop. It feels very cheap and the laptop gets super hot. The processing speed is slow. Not worth purchasing or wasting your time.
