    I like the fold flat feature and the touch screen feature. But the full keyboard is always necessary for full use.

    Decent laptop but Windows bogs it down. Take it home and wipe the hard drive and load Linux on it. It will work much better.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop is an entry level, light use system with its AMD A6-9220e processor, with a base speed of 1.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 2.4GHz, 4GB of RAM and a 64GB eMMC solid state hard drive, for quick access to files and programs. 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. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs. It is good for Microsoft Office and light internet browsing. The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop ships with a free 1-year subscription to Microsoft Office 365 (a $69.00 value). Lenovo

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 20-seconds, thanks to the 64GB eMMC solid state hard drive. If you are getting slower boot ups, 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

    I am not going to write a lot. Just want to point, that this "laptop" is very slow. I have it for two days. Bought it because of the good price. Tomorrow I will return it. I bought it only for easy tasks - Canvas, E-mail, Word, web-browsing. OMG!!! I had a lot of computers in my life. This one is terrible. My 10 years Nokia C-6 works much faster. Actually, this is a 3rd Lenovo laptop in last 5 years. 2 previous I changed for another brand. Same I will do with this one. No more Lenovo. Really.
