    I purchased this for web browsing ans some microsoft use but it is very slow. I tested against a 7 year old laptop and it was always slower and sometimes had issues opening web pages when the older laptop didnt. I can not recommend this even at such a low price. The battery life was good though.

    If you want to install software not in the Microsoft store you need to disable the ‘S’ mode. See google. It is very slow. Not sure 4gb is enough for Windows 11.

    Though the reviews on the product weren't great. It works just fine for me. I bought it for school and it is serving it's purpose. The battery life is amazing and there are little to no glitches.

    This thing will barely run it freezes up constantly 4gb of ram is not enough to run windows. Do yourself a favor and spend more money on a laptop with better specs. And it is not Lenovo because I have other pc’s from them that are super fast. I am returning and upgrading to a better laptop.
