    The computer is excellent is look and design. As seen in advertise picture. Low price offer for light use. The only downside is slow.

    Purchased for my kids school work. Overall is structurally well built. The processing power on the other hand leaves a lot to desire even for an entry level machine. Slow start ups, laggy processing and at times just a bit frustrating even in simple processes.

    Windows 11 S is NOT my cup of tea. I won’t repeat that mistake! I needed a quick replacement for a crashed HP, and this was cheap. But so slow, no touchscreen, low RAM and “Hard Drive”, only allows software or drivers from Microsoft App Store. I mean, I like Lenovo, but this is truely “bare bones”! Will do what I needed I guess, at a minimal level and turtle slow… But as soon as I save up, I’ll be seriously upgrading and giving this one away! Windows (any) in “S” mode… stay away from it!

    The computer right of that bat is slow. Setting it up was really slow and I thought it was just my Internet but no because I tried it in multiple places. I really had faith in this computer to do a lot of things because I need it for school. But after I returned it, the worker told me it’s made for sending emails and doing basic stuff on it. It has really low memory.

    We bought this as a cheap backup. It’s not the fastest most powerful laptop ever, but it does work well enough to get things done. Regardless of the bad reviews it has gotten, it is a decent laptop. The biggest reason it is slow out of the box is all the updates it has to download and install. After all that is done it actually boots and runs at a decent pace for its specs.

    Although, I'm by far anything but tech savvy. I enjoy this device and it's features that make it fun , easy and informative at the use of my Lenovo 14. It's not too expensive at all, I recommend this for anyone who's similar to me that lack in the whole dynamics of this magnificent masterpiece, to try it and voice your opinion for us older folks that really just stick to the simple basic stuff.

    So far this laptop is performing well. I give it 4 stars instead of 5 only because I had to take the windows 11 OS out of "S Mode" before I could install software that I needed to install, and the PC ran pretty slowly up until that point. Now it seems to be running well.

    It’s extraordinarily slow, and can’t handle more than two programs open at the same time. I bought it to do a project for a client, as it required Windows. Still, it did what I needed it to do, but for everyday things,I much prefer an iPad,

    When we first started using it we hated it had to do factory reset because the setup process kept freezing after we got it set up everything ran super slow but then we took it out of S Mode and its running perfectly now we was able to download google chrome and they are able to do all their schooling with no issues now its a perfect laptop just recommend taking it out of S mode
