It’s a little slow but does the job the battery life is good it’s a good school computer

This areally nice devoxe which is helping me with my school work - the purpose for which i bought it. It has a small memory but i liked it that way because i have an external 1T to connect to it.

Its freeze alot but it will have to do since I was on a budget

I love the laptop itself and have had no problems with it. The only thing I don’t like is the Microsoft S mode and not being able to download whatever app I want. I use it for college and it definitely gets the job done.

Super slow, and freezes. I would get a comp with higher ram and speed. Just to get on the internet it freezes

Great product for the price tag! It does seem a bit sluggish depending on what you are doing. But hey, that is to be expected on a lower priced unit.

This laptop itself is great! And i would very much recommended purchasing and it very simple and nice and easy to use like i said i would recommend.

The best Christmas gift ever for my kids, I was saving money for the Christmas gift for my family and Best Buy put it right on the table for them.

Slow, it is slow to upload a document or google. I dislike how slow it is but for the price you can say it’s okay. I am overall okay with this fir processing documents that will need to be submitted for school. I need it for school so it probably will work

Love it! It’s affordable and convenient to bring around.

I bought this laptop as a gift for my son for coming first in his middle school spelling bee in January of this year, it’s been his companion ever since, I have watched movie on it several time using the HDMI connection to connect it to my room tv. Basically it’s a good computer as my so as never complain about it. It’s an open box excellent condition at Best Buy but it’s literally a new one in box and I got it for a fraction of the price.

I love this laptop! It's very light and fast. My previous Lenovo I had got several years was heavy and bulky but always served me well. I highly recommend this product!

This Lenovo laptop is great for teenagers to do their schoolwork on it can even manage to play games with quality speed. It’s a great buy , I have no complaints.

I had this device for two years now and it’s working great!!! no issues. I love the touchscreen very easy to navigate.

I like it a lot it’s fast sometimes and I like how it’s a Game laptop so it has many features on It and i like that it doesn’t die fast like others for overall I like my laptop.

Bought this for my son for Christmas. He loves it. Nice thin and light so it’s easy holdable for him.

When you are selecting a laptop, it's really important to make sure you are getting the right machine for the job you are trying to complete. This is what I kept telling myself as I tried out this Lenovo Ideapad. I've used Lenovo computers in the past and been very impressed with their build quality and performance. This laptop, however, is built to be an entry-level machine and only used for basic tasks like email and light web surfing. This was completely evident to me as I started setting it up. To be fair, I am used to computers that are set up for tasks that require advanced performance. That means they usually have ample RAM allocated to the build and they can multitask. So for me, using this laptop was like picking a smartphone that is several generations old. It still works for basic tasks, but because my daily-driver phone is the current generation smartphone, the old one just feels sluggish. That said, for what it is, this laptop works fine. Here are my main takeaways. Pros The laptop is very lightweight. It's easy to carry from place to place and can be packed in a bag with no problems. The webcam comes with a sliding privacy cover preinstalled. This is useful for ensuring privacy when you aren't actively using the camera. It's very quiet. If I wasn't actively using it, I wouldn't have thought it was running. Battery life is wonderful. The keyboard was comfortable to type on. The trackpad seemed responsive. The screen had a nice clear picture. Cons Hardware requirements are the bare minimum for running Windows 11. Processor: Requirement - 1GHz with two or more cores on a 64-bit processor // Lenovo Ideapad - Intel Celeron N Series, 1.1 GHz, 2 cores Memory: Requirement - 4GB or greater // Lenovo Ideapad - 4GB Storage: Requirement - 64GB or greater // Lenovo Ideapad - 128GB Graphics Card: Requirement - Compatible with DirectX 12 or later, with a WDDM 2.0 driver. // Lenovo Ideapad - Intel UHD Graphics 600, supports DirectX 12 In addition to standard Windows startup prompts, Lenovo has its own set of questions and preferences to walk through, too. The default desktop image was of a Red Bull ad, which seemed odd to me. Everything ran slowly. It took an exceptionally long time to get everything updated (I'm talking hours) and ready to actually use the laptop. I wasn't able to run Edge without it stuttering. Nothing else was operational except for system apps and background tasks and the computer choked on the web browser. Uses a proprietary charger and not something standard like USB-C. Overall Impression Using this laptop was a frustrating experience for me. While I am a patient person and understand that certain systems may take longer to do tasks than others, I was shocked that the native web browser couldn't even run smoothly. I attempted downloading Geekbench to complete a benchmark test but because the Windows OS was in S mode, I wasn't allowed to download anything that wasn't in the approved Windows App Store. So, I used Nero Score, which provided a score of 385 for this Ideapad. I looked up other benchmark scores for the same processor and they averaged right around a score of 1000. I am assuming that the lower performance is likely due to the 4GB of RAM since other benchmark scores were based on 8-16GB of RAM and they were much higher. Something to think about when shopping for a computer is the age of the processor in relation to the current year. The Intel Celeron processor used in this Lenovo Ideapad was released 3 years ago and is actually discontinued by the manufacturer. You should also consider whether or not the operating system is the best option for your given processor/RAM combination. As I mentioned, this machine just barely meets the Windows 11 hardware requirements, but it might run better with Windows 10 or an alternate OS. As always, bloatware could also be playing a part in this machine's sluggish nature. Because I had such a difficult time navigating through basic tasks, I wasn't able to do a thorough analysis of applications that may be weighing the system down, but that could indeed be a factor. Final Thoughts There is a place for every type of computer and this one does have some redeeming qualities. Out of the box, it may not be the best performing PC, but with some customization, it might do really well for the right user.

A great Laptop for school tasks, light weight and easy to use.

I bought one in February and it was very good. However, I bought this one in the Black Friday and it was terrible! Too much slow that I couldn't even open the files! So I returned it.

Simply in love with this laptop. Recently started back to college and this laptop makes doing homework simple.
