This is the worst laptop ever made. I bought this on the 20th of August for a birthday present. My daughter started using this on the 30th just after her birthday. 2 weeks later, she turned the laptop on after not using it for a while and the screen started leaking, I took it to best buy who couldn’t determined because nothing was visible, a supervisor took it back at the geek squad, he came back after a while and said there was a crack on the screen causing the lcd crystal to leak, I asked him how this is possible when this has been sitting on a desk and barely used? He said sometimes a little pressure on the screen could cause this. Are you kidding me? A little pressure? What pressure? They suggested I send to manufacturer to see if they could help, I sent it and Lenovo came back with a repair quote of $264.90 for a product that was apparently defective. The top of this is made out of plastic material. DO NOT TOUCH THIS PRODUCT, it is the worst laptop ever, and the manufacturer doesn’t care about customers satisfaction. Horrible people

Functional machine. The keyboard is weird. I have two of these for business. Myself and the other user both have issues with the trackpad. We can't get it to work normally
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your IdeaPad 1 laptops. We apologize for the annoyance that this has caused you, and we'd like to work with you to resolve this issue.
To start, regarding the touchpad, first, in Windows Settings, follow these steps to get to touchpad settings: Bluetooth & Devices > Touchpad. There should be an option to toggle touchpad options there, and please ensure it is on. Also, under the "Taps" option in this part of the menu, you can adjust touchpad sensitivity. If this doesn't do the trick, then try installing any available updates through the Lenovo Vantage app by selecting the "Check for updates" button on the homepage of the app. Then, check for updates in the Settings app by selecting the Windows Updates tab and selecting "Check for updates" button.
Please let us know what else we can do to help improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.

Laptop ran slow, hadn't even loaded any software on it. Maybe it still had issues since I had purchased it as an open box item.

Product lacks memory and is really slow!!! Perhaps it could've use more memory

So far so good. I used to have a similar model with double the storage memory. This model sometimes runs out of processing memory, bit that is a minor issue.

The battery life on this Lenovo laptop is so BAD! Aside from bad battery life it takes forever to charge! The touch screen feature is neat but overall wouldn’t re purchase this laptop
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the system battery life and charging speeds fell short of your expectations. We'd like to work with you to try address these points.
Regarding your issue with battery life – there are many variables that contribute to shorter battery life. Thankfully, many of those variables can be adjusted. By default, the system will tend to give more speed when needed, which can sacrifice battery life. If you want to squeeze out more battery life, we recommend utilizing the Lenovo Vantage application that is preinstalled to adjust settings related to power and battery performance (to access relevant settings, open Vantage > Device Settings > Power). You can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both worlds.
Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page should you have any questions or need further assistance.

Horrible computer. Wanted to do this google chrome thing. I tried to get rid of it, but that's all this computer will do. I just wanted HP computer that does Windows11 without google chrome. Would advise you to choose this only if you are a big google fan.
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with your IdeaPad 1. We apologize for any inconvenience that this may be causing you, and we'd like to work with you to try to resolve this issue.
To start, since this IdeaPad 1 is a Windows based system, the default web browser is Microsoft Edge. While Edge is Chromium based, a platform that is used with Google Chrome, this is a separate browser. You can also import Google account data to Edge to retrieve your saved bookmarks and more, but this is optional. If somehow your system has Chrome installed, please visit this Microsoft Support webpage to learn the steps you can follow to remove apps from Windows 11 systems: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/uninstall-or-remove-apps-and-programs-in-windows-4b55f974-2cc6-2d2b-d092-5905080eaf98

Did not have it turned on for more than 45 minutes after initial set up and it was running super slow called the Best Buy geek squad. They told me that it already needed to be reformatted because the memory ram was corrupted

Obsolete out of the box. Does not handle cloud gaming, video streaming, or even web browsing satisfactorily.

I purchased this Lenovo lap top September 8, 2025 on line with Best Buy. Less than a week later, the same laptop was advertised for $50 less. I called to inquire about getting a refund and was told that it wasn't allowed because the laptop was sold by an off market entity. From a consumer's point of view, the laptop was sold and advertised by Best Buy. Best Buy is a big retail store who could easily afford $50. I feel it was false advertising and I should have been awarded the refund. How am I supposed to know if was not sold by Best Buy when it was advertised on the Best Buy website. My credit card even indicates Best Buy. Not a happy consumer!!!
I would recommend this to a friend

Screen failed after only 3 1/2 months

Thought this would be a good, general computer. Function was good until the screen failed after only 3 1/2 months of very light use at a home desk only. Best Buy Geek Squad did eval & said screen failure not covered under the limited warranty. Tried very hard to get in touch with Lenovo, but never got the promised callback. Had to laugh at the warranty: "Any pre-existing defects in your product that occurred on or before the date of your purchase." Means the warranty covers *nothing*. I would never purchase another Lenovo product.
