Slow, and loaded with the typical Lenovo Bloatware
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.tl;dr - Lenovo loaded so much process-heavy apps and bloatware onto the machine that it is almost worthless. After wiping the eMMC flash memory and loading a copy of Ubuntu Linux onto the machine, it's an above-par daily laptop. Once I finally got it setup and out of Windows S-Mode, I attempted to hunt down all of the bloatware and freeware that was loaded onto the computer from the factory. Upon completion of what I thought was the majority of the apps and processes that was hogging the 4GB worth of RAM, I realized that this laptop needs a full system restore to bring it to it's full potential. After a full system restore (using the Windows Settings option), I realized that the "bare-bones" Windows OS that was loaded onto the computer was not at all bare-bones. I again attempted to delete all of the system resource-hogging apps and processes. Two days later, and after being violated by very well hidden advertisements from Lenovo and McAfee, I got fed up and wiped the drive completely clean. I then installed a fresh copy of Ubuntu Linux 20.04 LTS and have been extremely happy ever since. To be honest, this machine does have the necessary hardware to function as a daily driver, but the bloatware loaded onto the base copy of Windows by Lenovo makes this machine worthless. As a comparison, I have an 11 year old Acer Netbook which has 2GB of RAM and an Intel Atom processor running Windows that greatly out performs this machine in multiple benchmark tests. I do not recommend this machine to anyone, even for simple browsing. Granted, I did buy this at a very, very steep discount, but I could have spent my money on a full Raspberry Pi setup (board, screen, peripherals, etc) that could out perform this machine 10-fold. I will say that it does handle "drops" well - the 3rd week of owning this machine, I ended up dropping it but it took it like a champ. Probably because of the thick, cheap plastic housing. Overall Rating "Out of the Box": 3/10 Overall Rating after loading a new Operating System: 8/10

Posted .The entry-level Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, model number 81VS009GUS, ships with just two adware programs, a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 (as part of Windows 10 operating system) and a 30-day trial of McAfee virus protection. Lenovo computers ship with one of the cleanest factory software installs within the consumer computer industry.

What a waste!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Awful computer. My price range is always under 400 so I’m not used to the best of the best- but this took the absolute cake. Wasted hours getting it going... loaded my emails passwords etc. this is all during Covid so I chalked it up to Internet issues. After running a speed test I realized 160-240 speed was certainly not the issue. I can only say this computer runs like aol dialup. Called geek squad- because I bought 3 year membership. They told me to just return it because I’d be online for 3 hours before speaking to a tech.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop ships with a free 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 (a $69.00 value). If you are experiencing slower than anticipated performance, 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.
