Useless! Can’t download zoom and very slow
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You can’t download zoom apps. I bought it for my daughter for her virtual school. In addition, very slow though we have Comcast connection! I would never recommend this to anybody even regret buying it.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with 5G, 802.11AC frequency WiFi, which is up to 3X faster than standard 802.11N WiFi.

Terrible laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This might be the worst laptop I have ever used. It is so slow my daughter can hardly use it to complete her homework. I will never buy this brand again. Do not buy this laptop, look for something else.

EVERYTHING IS SLOW
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Sloooooow! I can’t get anything done because it is slow to do everything. Slow to start. Slow to open and run Microsoft Office. Slow internet even with fast WiFi. I hate it. I wish I could return it.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 Laptop, model number 81VS0001US, will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 20-seconds. This model ships with 5G, 802.11AC WiFi, which is 3X faster than standard 802.11n WiFi. If you are experiencing slower bootups, whether you have switched out of S-Mode or not, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software can slow down the system operation. 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.

Avoid Windows PCs with only 4 GB of RAM
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Computer is so poor that it can hardly run Microsoft Office. I just needed a PC for a remote location for the authoring of basic Word and Excel documents with light Microsoft Teams usage. This PC could not handle the most basic of demands. I returned this laptop after about two weeks of use and replaced it with a slightly older refurbished lenovo with more RAM, a better processor, and storage for about the same price (slightly more). I would not recommend this computer to anyone even for basic web browsing. Anymore 4GB of RAM is insufficient for running Windows 10. Save your money and get something with better specs you won't be sorry.

Horrible
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Complete trash, Returned it. The CPU isn't even powerful enough to run Windows 10 that it comes with. Any apps take 45 seconds to load and just tap out the CPU to 100% the entire time.

Not impressed
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased to replace a similar Lenovo laptop which had locked up after just 2 months limited use, we were sold this 'upgrade' as it would be faster and better all round. Wrong. It's considerably slower than the previous model so it's going back.
