      The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop is an entry level, light use system with its AMD A6-9220e processor, with a base speed of 1.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 2.4GHz, 4GB of RAM and a 64GB eMMC solid state hard drive, for quick access to files and programs. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs. It is good for Microsoft Office and light internet browsing. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop ships with a free 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 (a $69.00 value). Lenovo

    Picked this up today, I've been in IT for 25 years, was looking for a browsing laptop and a lightweight music app. Before I could run my app, just running a browser, had this CPU at 100% the whole time. I cant wait to return this waste of time and money. Wont run Chrome without CPU at 100%. As I said, run away from this laptop as fast as you can, I cant believe they sell this as a working PC, Trust me you'll be sorry if you buy this. I took the bad reviews with a grain of salt, now I know better. Again, cant wait to bring this pile of crap back tomorrow. -Mike

      We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the microphone on your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop. First, check to see if the microphone is working properly. Use the Audio Recorder within Windows 10 to test your microphone. Here is a link to information about using audio recorder within Windows 10:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4028308/windows-10-how-to-use-voice-recorder. If the microphone is working properly on your computer audio recorder, the issue may be with the APP that the microphone is being used with. Check the audio settings within the APP. You can also check to be sure that you have the latest version of Windows 10 S-Mode on the computer, then update all of the BIOS files and drivers up to that latest version of Windows 10 S-Mode. You can easily accomplish this by using the Lenovo Utility software available on this computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list.
