Won't recommend to anyone
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My kids have been kicked out multiple times during the zoom meetings. It just can't handle the school meetings load. I probably should have returned it right away when I purchased it and faced this issue first time but due to current pandemic situation I avoided visiting Best Buy. Anyway I won't recommend it to anyone.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Slow

Posted .Hello, we are sorry to hear you are having this experience with the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14" laptop. 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 do not 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. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode . 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: 877-453-668

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this at a black Friday sale and we did not have our Christmas until the 12th However by the time my granddaughter actually opened it and tried it, it was not running well. It was to be returned b the 14th of January. Be sure you look at the return date they will not tell you. I had mine emailed to me and was not told that there was such a short return time on it.

Terrible
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this computer thinking that I was getting a good deal... I was WRONG! Got it home, plugged it in, went to use it and much to my surprise it DIDN’T EVEN WORK! There is no “Network adapter” Which means I needed to install the WIFI driver, cool I can do that... nope. Can’t. The USB hubs didn’t work either. I am returning this item and NOT getting another.
