HP Computer.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Quality product, good price and curbside delivery for home school. Since the Covid-19 crap, made changes to our lifestyle. We don't take life for granted and a multipurpose office at my cave. Glad Best Buy is adapting to unfortunate latest events.

This is a computer for beginners
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is very slow. This is for beginners or first time users on a pc. Nice slender fit and small frame.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Product ok...store and employees HORRIBLE
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm very disappointed in Best Buy. I purchased this computer with a warranty somehow within 3 days the computer was damanged. Spoke with Geek Squad they said bring it in, so I did. Was told I would have to send the computer off it did have damage warranty but they couldn't exchange it. So in order for me to continue my job I had to purchase another computer with a warranty. So 2 computers $600 dollars later no one still has exchanged or refunded me for the 1st computer.

THE WORST!!!
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.One of the trashiest computers ever purchased!! The contrast sucks!! It moves slow, it freezes frequently and wasn't worth the $200.00 I paid for it. If my apartment was on fire and that computer burned in it, I wouldn't even file it with loss of property to my insurance. I now hardly ever use this computer. I've charged it and placed it under my bed.

you get what you pay for
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought it for my 10 yr old, even he noticed its lack of performance, but at this price point, what can you expect.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Great laptop for the price!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I needed a laptop for an affordable price with a decent processor. The processing speed is awesome for the price, the picture quality isn't superb but still phenomenal for the price range. The free year of office 365 really adds to the value of the item and overall I am able to use it for business purposes.

So slow it's basically going backwards
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this as a Christmas gift for my dad and we've been pretty disappointed with it. He is a youtube junkie and only has one tab open, he is tech-literate enough to know how to clean the cache and cookies but still the laptop is incredibly slow. Honestly if it were any slower it would be going backwards. Definitely returning this little guy

Terrible Computer
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We bought this to replace our 7 year old laptop, mainly used for internet browsing and occasional word processing. It’s just as slow as our old computer, has terrible screen quality (everything looks pixelated) and constantly freezes. Wish I could return it, but left it sit in the box for too long before opening.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System, which should not freeze. 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.

Cheap Laptop Not Worth It
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this for my 2nd grader and Kindergartner right before school closures; the ideas was something simple for web surfing, school work online and video conferences. The whole computer was slow, web pages took forever to load and process (not the internet), and we we tried the web cameras, they shot sideways (90 degrees, not portrait) in Microsoft Teams. I thought it would be Windows S but even after the upgrade it didn't improve it. It was literally unusable for the most basics tasks. I wasn't expecting blazing fast but I was expect something operational. This wasn't. I've used Lenovo laptops in the past and I have an AMD CPU in my current editing desktop, so I was expecting at least passing. This was literally the worst laptop I've used (appropriate for the time it was sold). Returned these and bought something that runs much better.

Too slow, had to return it
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.You get what you pay for. The price is low, but this really only is good for web browsing and basic Office functionalities. Opening up multiple tabs, trying to run a Zoom call, will slow down the browsers and lead to crashing. Our intent was for our kids to have a computer to connect with their friends, complete school work, and browse the web. This had insufficient horse power

Great pricepoint!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased this a for my granddaughter. It's on the smaller side for a laptop, but is perfect for her first laptop. It does everything she needs and was a less expensive choice for her very first laptop. She is very happy with it!
