Nice computer with a large screen and comfortable keyboard for only $250. 128 gig SSD. Only 4 g of RAM slows it down a bit, but not too much. Only downside is the battery only lasts about 4-5 hours per charge, although it fully charges in less than an hour.

I love this laptop. I use it with a Monitor for my work when I remote from home. It is fast and very user friendly. This is my second one. Very reasonably priced as well.

Lenovo idea pad, has powerful processor capable of mild cad and 3d editing. Needs external storage, for expansive projects. Not a gaming competition laptop but still decent game capabilities.

We were looking for a Chromebook for my son to use for schoolwork. At the moment this was the best option, affordable and just perfect for the purpose. I do wish that it would've come in a smaller shape but overall great product

Very good product for the price! It is exactly what I needed for an on-the-go backup laptop. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is that it is just a little slow, but I knew that prior to purchasing it, so that's acceptable.

The price point was inviting. I am a Lenovo fan and have the clock and smart TV as well, so a laptop was the next choice. Works well for working remote, however, when outdoors, the display cannot be brightened enough to to compete with the sun. Not much of a complaint, as I don't rely heavily on it. Just ordered an Anker power bank. The charger that comes with the laptop is cumbersome and a space hog. I suppose that is with all laptops, though. Still happy with my product, I should use it more often.

Good for the price but slow compared to a more expensive laptop. Excellent if you're on a budget and need web browsing and office utilities or as a cheap travel laptop if you're worried about damaging your primary use PC.

Overall a nice little laptop. However, Four gigabytes of RAM is not enough to even operate. Just windows at idle. 100% usage. Very slow excessive page file disc usage should come with eight gigabytes minimum with an option for 16 cannot not open or use any applications without freezing!

When looking for a laptop I was immediately drawn to Lenovo for some reason. Maybe it was the advertising or maybe it was just what I heard about the brand itself. Either way, I pulled the trigger and bought the idea pad. When I first turned the computer on everything was slow but once it updated itself and updated windows, it’s been all smooth sailing! I love the setup, it’s user friendly and the mouse is super easy and the laptop stays charged for the entire day of my going back and forth between jt and my desktop. Would definitely recommend to friends and family!

For the price point, it’s a great laptop. Loads quickly and has decent viewing angles. Not for gaming of course, but can handle older titles on low resolution through steam just fine.

It was good for simple school work or office work. The computer needs more RAM to run higher end projects and can’t handle too much open at once. It’s super good resolution and such for the price.

So this specific model has a graphics processor that is above standard but below better than standard if that makes sense. So it's good for some gaming. My child uses it for his Roblox. He loves it! The screen is extra big and it seems like a nice computer overall, but it's built with an awful lot of plastic so I'd imagine one drop and that's going to kill that thing. You can always upgrade the hard drive and the RAM for the device. It's super easy to find and buy those pieces and do it yourself. Overall this was a solid buy.

If you want an out of the box experience, then this isn't what you're looking for. All around this laptop is pretty good with handling basic tasks and light gaming. The only reason I wouldn't recommend it is because it's using Windows 11 and only has 4GB of ram built into the machine. If it was Windows 8 or 10 than it wouldn't be a problem but Windows 11 uses alot of your laptops resources, which means you can barely use it. If you somehow wait for internet explorer to open good luck, since it will still be slow and it might burn your lap thanks to the limited amount of ram available. Now all of that is fixable with a simple ram upgrade for $20, but most people who buy laptops just want a laptop that will work fine right out the box and not have to take it apart. So unless you or someone you know can take it apart and add more ram, along with more storage, I wouldn't recommend this machine.

This laptop is worthy of 5 stars, but Windows 11 warrants just a 4 star grade. Windows 11 will relegate this laptop to worthless in a year or 2. As Windows upgrades buildup over time, it will eat up the small 128GB eMMc drive, so I recommend having at least a 256GB eMMC drive for Windows 11. In light of this, I run Linux, so I still went and purchased this Lenovo laptop. It will easily run any Linux operating system, and I can customize the updates,
