    Pretty solid, nothing really wrong with the computer. It was just a bit underpowered for today's web-based apps. For someone doing light office work and streaming, it should fill your needs

    This has got to be the worst computer ever! I only bought it for my daughter so she could check her school emails for her homework and to teach her responsibility to take care of an electronic before spending more money. The only thing it taught me was a lesson to not buy this junk. It is extremely slow and she can't successfully use it. It has not been in our possession for even a year yet and the screen won't work. Waste of money!

    Man, I don't know what the issue with this thing was. I use a Lenovo workstation for CAD at work, so I was expecting a quality device. But this thing was just junk in operation. It looked fine and seemed built well, but it was so terribly slow that kids chose to use my old Windows 7 laptop to do their virtual school on instead of this brand new machine. The old laptop is amazingly slow at this point too, but this IdeaPad was even worse. Fortunately I returned it with no issues.

    Outside of sitting up in a closet, I only used the laptop about 5 times for job searching and after a few short weeks of ownership it no longer turns on. Best buy apparently only offered 7 days for returns on this particular product which is super unexpected and unreasonable. This has caused a serious inconvenience as an online student. Definitely never buying Lenovo again and best buy will never be trusted to provide properly working products and a legitimate return policy unfortunately.

      We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop. It is possible that resetting the computer back to original factory settings will fix the issue you are having. Since you can no longer boot the computer, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the Micro-SD card slot on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo
