Really, the only thing I would suggest is better speakers...the current built-ins make things sound like they're coming from the Moon. Otherwise, good, solid lightweight unit that does what I need it to do.

I've been extremely impressed with this laptop. Dollar for dollar, it's the best value for the money, that I've come across. I mainly use the laptop, at home, to access my personal banking and other various accounts where an actual computer is necessary. I'm not a big fan of the "mouse pad", however it is able to me adjusted/customized to the user's preference. The only other thing I wish I could change is the memory capacity, but once again, there are options for several different cloud storage options, memory cards available, or even purchasing additional laptop memory.

This computer is pretty slow, fair warning. All we use it for is Microsoft office products, such as Word for writing essays, and browsing the Internet for research items. We downloaded a media application to record video for a speaking class and the whole computer started going even slower. It had to be uninstalled.

My chromebook died & I decided to “upgrade” and get this laptop. Most of the mobile part of my job is excel spreadsheets & Microsoft office. When I saw this laptop had Microsoft office with it & the laptop itself is cheaper than purchasing the software, I decided to purchase it. I primarily did online surfing/videos on the chromebook, so this laptop would be a 2 in 1. This computer is SLOW. I read reviews stating it was slow, and I thought they were just complaining. No, this thing is SLOW. It will lag when typing in excel & takes a while to load web pages (and we have 1Gig internet). I can’t complain because I paid $110 for the laptop and use an external flash drive for storage, but be prepared it is SLOW. If I didn’t want the ability to do my excel spreadsheets from home, I’d give this thing 1 star because for surfing/YouTube the chromebook is the best. PSA: you cant add ram to this computer.

We are sorry to hear that you are having lag issues when using Microsoft Office 365 programs on your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop. This system will process Microsoft Office programs quickly, without lag, thanks to the 64GB eMMC solid state hard drive. If you are experiencing lag, 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.
