Lenovo.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Ok for general use. A little slow, like the large key's.
I would recommend this to a friend Not the best choice
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this and only had it for under two weeks before taking it back and getting a different one. I had it into the Geek Squad twice during this time but just couldn't seem to get it to operate properly. They weren't sure just what the issues were so decided to return it within the two week period and upgrade to an HP. I have another Lenovo bought in 2013 and it still works fine. Just needed something lighter to transport to classes.

Great laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this computer for my fiancé to do his school work as well as a podcast show that he is doing and it was definitely a great purchase. He hasn’t had any issues and he’s not very tech savvy but he was able to set it up easily. Definitely a steal and the computer looks really nice too.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 Laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with the 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. If you are seeing pop-up messages while using a specific APP, 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.
