    I was very dissatisfied with the computer. It has not ran properly since I purchased it. It is slow and it freezes. I am going to return it for a full refund.

    I have another Lenovo computer, which I love, I bought this one for my nephew for Christmas, and it was very slow. We were unable to open a webpage without issues. Needless to say this has been returned.

    I had to return this laptop, because it ran very slow, it operated in Safe mode, which I didn't like, and it would not let me use Firefox in Safe mode as well, so too many limitations to work with.

      Hello, WadeK. We are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad has fallen short of your expectations, leading to you returning it. For you and viewers of this post, this model ships with Windows 11 S-Mode installed. Windows 11 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 need to install apps not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 11 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost – it’s quick and simple. If you choose to switch out of S-Mode for Windows 11 Home: Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_11 Lenovo

    The OS uses up so many resources that everything crawls. If more than one program is active at the same time, both require lengthy waits.

    The laptop was SO slow. Even when I returned the item, when the sales associate tried to login it ran slow for him. Was just needing a basic laptop and I guess you get what you paid for.

    I wasn't expecting much for a budget laptop but this thing is terrible. It's EXTREMELY slow. Even just when opening things like file explorer and generally navigating around Windows.
