    Purchased for my son, needed on for school but also gaming. He is enjoying it quite a bit. Only downside is it has a tendency to heat up when overclocking. But all in all, a good purchase at a good price.

    I bought this for my sister, she had a little trouble getting started, but she used to call me everyday, now she has a computer and calls me every 3 to 4 days. Therefore this is a successful purchase. I bought my own Lenovo a couple of years ago and just last month figured out how to turn on the camera so there is a bit of a learning curve.

    Question, why does it say it includes: Office 365 Personal, 12 month subscription but it comes with no security key or anything to activate it?? I specifically bought the computer for my 8 year old son to use for school because it said it came with Office 365 for one year. Why am I unable to activate it but instead is being asked to upgrade to premium??

      Because this is a free promotion, there is no need for a 25-digit product key to activate the bonus trial period. Just launch the Microsoft Office 365 software, input the request information and the bonus trial period will be activated.

    I'm new to Windows 10 so there some pages that are new and there are no instructions, that I trust myself to get to, that a book would be helpful. I don't know how to open a file on screen that may be about computer. When I started on computer you weren't supposed to be able to erase everything on computer BUT I did it. An old computer.

    This computer started out working okay but then after about a week I started noticing it was moving slower. When I went to google something it wasn’t loading and I had to try 3-4 times. I got frustrated and return this computer. I will pay a little more money for a faster system.

      We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14. Since the computer was working properly then slowed over time, 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

    This computer can handle one task at a time. not the best for office work where I need to jump between Teams, SharePoint, Outlook, WebEx, etc. it may be that Microsoft is grinding because millions more are now working from home, but I should have spent a bit more for more power.

    I needed something small and light to carry with me, and (let me be clear) this works just fine -- easy to use and portable. It's just not what I personally needed. My husband won't even buy anything not made by Lenovo, and I agree they make good products. This one just wouldn't have stood up to the way I have to haul things around.
