Basic laptop no whistle and stops
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A good laptop for use in writing, etc. Internet connections a bit slow, so if you need to use internet frequently, you may want to spend more money and upgrade. A good basic.

DO NOT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This device is terrible. It is so slow you cant hardly stream anything. The mouse is super sensitive. Downloading files on here will lead you to a horrific place. I definitely got burned on this one. I will try to return to Best Buy if they don't take it back I will give to a homeless person. If he or she doesn't want it I'll urinate on it and see if I can burn it. Please do not buy this product. You will be severely disappointed. 229 bucks? Gimme break, they should be giving these away at food pantries.

It turns on, so I guess it can have one star.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.To quote the email from Lenovo technical support (who I called because the laptop was SO INCREDIBLY SLOW): "Thanks for reaching Lenovo Hardware Warranty Support. Based on the specification sheet of your device, your laptop is most likely the same with the specification of smartphone nowadays. We can't expect for this device to perform the same as other laptops." - Moral of the story: do you like browsing more than one internet tab at once? DO NOT BUY. Look for something with 8gb+. Save yourself the return.

Hours of service required to run poorly
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Out of the box the laptop was not functioning properly. Required 3 hours troubleshooting with several customer service reps. One of which said he had a lot on his plate and that I could find the answers I needed online. “What?” The last technician was very helpful although the laptop required a reset that took 2-3 hours. The laptop then worked but very slowly. Don’t use this thing for videos or using multiple windows at once. Considering the bad service and functionality of this thing I will never buy a pc again if I don’t absolutely have to. My cheapest Apple product, at the very least, works faster than dial up. Cheers

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop ships with a free 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 (a $69.00 value). If you need to install APPs that are not available through the Microsoft Store, you will need to switch out of S-Mode. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode. 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.

Very slow
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased a Lenovo Ideapad 1 laptop for my daughter so she could complete her school year using a distance learning platform. It seemed like an economical price but it is so slow it causes more frustration than its worth.

Extremely slow and frozen all the time!
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had the same problem with some other reviewers. I got it for my 5th grade son for his distance learning. He was only using google classroom and some general internet browsing. It was extremely slow and frozen all the time. It was hard to even type words (there was a few second delay). I tried it for myself and I couldn't get any work done. Lenovo is supposed to be a good brand per Best Buy and I am wondering if my product was defective. Anyway, I returned it yesterday after struggling with it for a week.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System. Be sure the software you are using on the device is compatible with Windows 10 S-Mode. Google Classroom is not available in the Microsoft Store. If you switch from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, be sure these APPs are compatible with Windows 10 Home and this computer's specific configuration. We recommend you check with the software publisher's web site for the APPs you are using, for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration. If you continue having issues, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support for help with your specific issues at: 877-453-6686.
