Worst laptop ever
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.If there was a zero that would be the rating I give this laptop. We are not able to use it because it does not work. It takes 10 minutes to pull up something and then won't play anything this is the worst item ever. Run don't walk away from this item.

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 experiencing slower performance, 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.

Good value
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price of the laptop, it runs pretty well. Its a good value if you don't want to spend too much and you are just a casual laptop user. It might need abit of tweak to run smoothly though.
