    great laptop

    A solid choice for basic needs, the Lenovo Ideapad 1 is a budget-friendly laptop that handles everyday tasks like web browsing, email, and word processing with ease. The Intel Celeron N4500 processor and 4GB of RAM are sufficient for light multitasking, but don't expect to run demanding software or games. The 128GB eMMC storage is faster than a traditional hard drive, but it's on the smaller side, so you might need to rely on cloud storage for larger files. The 15.6" HD display is adequate for the price, though not as sharp as a Full HD screen. Where this laptop shines is its value. It's a reliable and affordable machine for students, casual home users, or as a secondary computer. The "Abyss Blue" color adds a nice touch of personality to an otherwise standard design. If you're looking for a no-frills laptop for essential productivity, the Ideapad 1 is a competent and cost-effective option.

    recently purchased a Lenovo laptop from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with both the product and the shopping experience. The laptop itself has been fantastic—fast performance, a bright and crisp display, and a solid build quality that feels durable yet lightweight enough to carry around easily. Whether it’s for work, streaming, or everyday use, it handles everything smoothly and reliably. The battery life has also been impressive, which makes it perfect for travel or working on the go. Buying from Best Buy made the process even better. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, helping me compare models and find the best option for my needs and budget. The checkout process was quick, and I appreciated the helpful tips they shared about setting up my new device. Overall, I’m very pleased with my Lenovo laptop and the excellent service I received at Best Buy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality laptop and a hassle-free buying experience!

    Long overdue for a laptop, I didn't need anything super fancy basically for some web work and occasional work from home. This brand was recommended by my IT department. Love how lightweight it is, display is great and so far it's performed great. I've only had a month so can't say more, any issues I will update later. Great value for how well it works.

    This is a great, very cost-effective laptop! I bought it for some online classes I started taking a couple months ago, and it did everything I needed it to, albeit a little slowly when I was running multiple programs and had multiple tabs open on my browser. I personally prefer macOS, but I was looking for a lower out-the-door cost and this Lenovo was the right price. I ended up selling this to my brother who loves it and is getting much use out of it and got myself an iPad haha! Highly recommend this laptop though, great deal!

    Lenovo seems to always make great product even one as this simple laptop. It's great for a person that genuinely just needs an everyday comeputer to do basic life. Performs well, connects seamlessly to whatever display you want to connect it to, whether buy hdmi or projection. The screen is actually really decent as wrll.

    Purchased for my 8 and 7 yr olds...They use them to log into their school portal to do school assignments and continuing educational programs. They are perfect for what they need so im giving the item 5 Stars. I would recommend the product for similar situations because the Chromebook functions for its intended purpose.

    Nice laptop. Very reasonably priced. The S Mode didn’t work for me. However, S Mode certainly makes good sense. If, I wasn’t transferring very old files & dvd to a new laptop; this would be the perfect product for me.
