    The Abyss Blue color looks nice and makes it stand out a bit from the usual black laptops. It’s lightweight and easy to carry, which is great for students or anyone who just needs a simple, affordable machine. Overall, it’s an okay laptop if you need something cheap and basic, but don’t expect it to handle anything too intense.

    You get what you pay for. I use this explicitly for doing written work, nothing super heavy. It's a good alternative if you do a lot of writing and need a transportation option. It's a bit slow at times if you overwork it, but if you don't plan on doing much on it... You'll be alright! Great cheap option!

    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.

    A Simple Laptop for Everyday Use

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

    The Lenovo Ideapad 1 is a basic, budget-friendly laptop great for light everyday tasks like web browsing, typing, and watching videos. Its 15.6" HD screen is a decent size, but the Intel Celeron N4500 and 4GB of RAM mean it can be slow with multitasking or heavy apps. The 128GB eMMC storage is enough for schoolwork or simple use, and it's very lightweight and portable. Not for gaming or demanding software, but solid for basic needs.

    This Lenovo Ideapad is perfect for light daily tasks like web browsing, emails, and streaming. It’s lightweight, starts up quickly, and the battery life is decent. The screen size is great for the price, and I love the sleek blue color. Don’t expect high performance for gaming or heavy multitasking, but for school or basic work, it’s a great value!
