    Ample Storage, Great Price: A Must-Have Laptop

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    What I mostly like about this device is the storage capacity which was the main reason I bought it. Needless to say the price point "had me at hello". The brand is my second purchase from Best Buy. If you're looking for a laptop with ample storage look no further. Get yours soon I did.

    This is the review you need. First of all, Don't buy it. The slowest laptop I've ever used. The fact it used to be 200 before it was on sale it was astounding. This laptop is worth barely 50 bucks at the most and that's pushing it. The keybinds suck. Don't buy it unless you really are broke. And even then think twice about it. I literally can't load most pages until a few minutes. And I have great internet.

    At the time of purchase we thought it was going to be an awesome buy, but after getting it delivered and then getting it set up. The next day it would even load up, and when you tried surfing the web it wouldn’t even load a web page. Had someone look at it and said the processor filled up and that why it would do or load anything. So that laptop got shipped back. Learned my lesson on buying cheap laptops

    Don't waste your money on this. You can't download anything that isn't on the Windows store without upgrading to a non "s" version of the os for money. The computer is so slow and horrible. It couldn't surf the web reasonably. Oh, plus windows forces you to give an email or make an outlook account before you can even boot this thing.

      Hello, Christopher. We are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad has not met your expectations. For clarification, 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, 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 (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_11) to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home. We appreciate you sharing your experience so that we may use it to continue to better our products and services for yourself and others. Lenovo
