      The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, model number 81VS009GUS, 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. Even if you have switched out of S-Mode, 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. Lenovo

    This is an affordable laptop. My usage is intended for general purposes; email, office, internet browsing, document storage. For those purposes it works fine. For streaming and gaming I’m guessing it might lag in performance.

    My daughter wanted a lighter laptop for college, and the price on this couldn't be beat, especially with the Black Friday discount. It was easy to set up and she loves it - says it works great and does everything she needs. Comes with Windows S mode but she said she had no trouble turning that off to use the features she needed. And she loves the way it looks - apparently it stylish enough for those who care about such things!

    This came up on sale at such a good promotional price (about $120) that my wife and I decided to snap it up. Our kids have been learning digitally during the 2020 pandemic, and when one of our machines goes down, it's a panic. This one we bought as a backup, but it runs so smoothly and reliably that my daughter has adopted it as her main computer and set aside her Chromebook as the backup.
