Not for school work or everyday work
||Posted . Owned for 10 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this because my classes went remote.

Slow Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has been slow since we bought it. I would not recommend it to anyone. The ASUS X205T that I bought years ago is way faster than this Lenovo. We have fiber optic cable internet at home and this Lenovo does not even play basic video on youtube without being slow. It will pause and load videos on youtube while they are supposed to be playing. All our other computers and devises are fast with our internet, but not this Lenovo.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 1-14 laptop, model number 81VS0001US, ships with 5G, 802.11AC WiFi, which is up to 3X faster than standard 802.11n WiFi. If you are getting slow internet performance than expected, 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.

Not enough horses?
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straight out of the box, everything I try to do on this PC takes FOREVER - boot-up, logon, web browsing, opening apps, utilities, settings, everything. I am no computer expert, but I am guessing this PC simply does not have enough processing power. I realize this model is entry-level, but I always buy entry-level PCs and this one is the worse ever. Actually, calling is a PC is being generous. I will return it.

Extremely Slow
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price but I wouldn't recommend buying this laptop, its extremely slow. I know, i know, you get what you pay for but I didn't think it would be this slow. I was trying to find something cheap, just for basic needs, no gaming or no work, but it still had problems so had to return it. Ended up buying Acer Aspire 5 Slim Laptop A515-43-R19L,Silver for $350 and that one is great for anyone looking for cheap laptop for basic needs.
