    Nice laptop for the price. I still preferred my T430 so I ended up returning this after a few days. No hassles thank you Best Buy. Nicer screen, a little flex on the computer, but for the price and if I needed a computer I definitely would of kept it.

    I bought this computer because my kids needed a new one since the schools where closing and our Dell had just died. This laptop is so slow. And lags so bad. I had to use it myself for a video call for work and the built in mic doesn't work. It doesn't work for the kids to use on their reading apps for school either. I wish I was able to leave my house a return it. I loved the last Lenovo I had. But this one sucks.

    I got this laptop for my brother, and at first it seemed like a steal.... but soon after starting it up (which took about an hour) the problems began to arise. S mode was only a mildly annoying problem which was fairly easily resolved. The big problem was that it wouldn't update and to get it to go through took days of trying different things, and even when it was working it's best it could barely handle light browsing or YouTube videos. So in the end I returned it week after I bought it.

    This laptop is only good if you want to do very minimal stuff like watch TV, listen to music, shop online, or play games. If you want do more; buy something else. Every time I opened more then 2 tabs or programs at once it stalled out. When I used zoom or Skype the video would have a grainy glitchy connection or would not connect at all. I had to restart the laptop 8 times during a 7 hour work shift. I was forced to buy a new laptop within 1 week of working from home in order to complete my work in a timely manner.

      We are sorry to hear of the issues you are having with your Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop. Whether you have switched out of Windows 10 S-Mode or not, 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
