Bought this as a Christmas gift for a grandson. He used it until the end of school and is on it constantly for gaming stuff. It's not the fastest available, but it gets him online and was at an excellent price point.

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).

I bought this laptop, activated regular Windows 10 to save my license, then immediately loaded Ubuntu on it. Runs very nicely with Linux! No problems with any drivers on 18.04. The screen has some pretty bad viewing angles, but using it as a cheap, low power server with a "free" battery backup.
4 stars for cheap, decently capable Linux laptop.

I am using it as an extra laptop. It can do basic but microphone is awful. Can't do zoom meetings. Cannot hear a thing and it buzzes throughout the whole meeting. Should have spent a little more for better quality.

Received the open box Lenova Ideapad on time and safely. Set up fine for my child and seemed to work. Also installed free wifi security software to the ideapad. Everything worked fine for about two weeks then their were complaints of the wifi shutting off randomly. Another week passed by and my child couldn’t open her game more search the web. This is not the way to go. Purchase brand new and I don’t recommend the wifi security. I will be contacting the store with questions for I’m very unhappy with this purchase. Oh and always get product warranty. Hope it’s not too late for me.

We purchased this computer for our 3rd grader to attend school online. His older brother and sister have HP laptops. We have had multiple problems with the system running extremely slow. This has been disruptive to our day and caused a lot a frustration for our young elearner. I wish we would have done our homework a little more thoroughly before purchasing this laptop. We are I are only two weeks on and we have been let down from this product. Online reviews indicate it could be a result of the anti-virus programming running on the computer. None the less, my older kids are having the same issues.

If you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 Laptop, model number 81VS0001US, 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.

Not a fast computer. For the price I paid. It didn't have a virus protection. And the windows wouldn't open my children's class work. Which is why I had to purchase a computer in the first place. Very disappointed.
