    I bought two of these, one for each of my children to work on school work during the pandemic. Very disappointed that it couldn't handle Seesaw, Khan Academy, Google Classroom, etc. well. All web based learning sites. As far as video conferencing like Zoom, it would freeze constantly. Just to be clear, we did not have network issues, our P52 & X270 worked just fine. The computer is very nice looking, however the lack of performance out weighs the aesthetics.

    I would have rated it four stars, considering its Black Friday price, but since the day that I got it, it looses its wi fi connection every three or four days, and I have to delete the drivers, and reinstall them. It doesn't lose the connection while the computer is on, but only after it is turned off several times. Before I turn it on, I never know if it is going to connect, or not. Since this is not a powerful computer, wifi connections, and web surfing, is one of the main reasons to have it, so it's lack of reliability makes it almost worthless.

This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 Laptop, model number 81VS0001US ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System and will not crash if compatible APPs are installed. 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
