    It worked good for a couple of months and then it started acting up. Camera and microphone quit working. Internet browser kept closing by itself. I guess it would have worked better if I kept it in Microsoft S mode.

    The purchase process on line with parking lot pick up was seamless. Although perhaps I should expect this from a low price point, the computer runs Windows only on a limited basis and when opening it up for additional programs, runs very slowly.

      Thank you for choosing the entry-level, Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, model number 81VS009GUS. This model ships with 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.

    It seemed extremely slow to respond to commands. The load times seemed long. I have decent Xfinity WiFi at home and this piece struggled to play videos. The picture paused while the sound continued at times. I felt like I was using a 10 year old laptop with windows 7. It was slow as a turtle.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 will boot to the Windows 10 Desktop from off, in less than 40-seconds. If you are experiencing slower boot speeds, or programs/files are slow to open, 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 programing 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

    Its a good computer for typing and offline work. The processor is not very fast. You can surf basic things online like email but it wont let you stream content. That doesn't bother me much. I bought this to work remotely and it does the job.

    I bought this computer when my HP decided to crash and I needed a replacement quick. I gave this a try because the price was great. It was very easy to set up. However, the laptop was very slow for me. It could barely handle more than 1 tab being open at a time. As a college student, that was less than ideal. Froze all the time. I gave it 2 weeks hoping that over time it would get better, but it didn’t. This would be a fine computer if you just want to use it for leisurely purposes, but if you need to do some actual work, look for something better.

    Got if for a great price and it is a very good PC for the money. Bought a 128G micro SD memory module that is cheap, extremely simple to use and greatly increases storage. I am pleasantly surprised at the speed and ease of use. I would recommend it but be sure and realize it is not a high speed, big storage laptop. It is more like a net book and a good value. Full version of WIndows 10 and 1 year of Office as well
