    This laptop works well for basic tasks like checking emails, creating documents and spreadsheets, and browsing the web. For the price, it gets the job done. However, I wouldn’t recommend it for anything graphics-intensive, as the display quality isn’t the best. It’s a solid choice for everyday use, but not ideal for design work, video editing, or gaming.

    After the first use the screen went black and it would not work. I called tech support and they were able to reset the laptop and it seems to work fine now. I give teck support 5 stars. Never have I had such great help. They even called again the next day to see if all was OK. My only negative with this laptop is the screen color is very washed out with a bluish cast. It just isn't vibrant at all.

    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.

    This Lenovo laptop is significantly better in performance and build quality than the more pricey model I purchased in 2021. The newer Lenovo model features a faster processor, extended battery life, and a clearer display, making it a more reliable and efficient device for my daily tasks.

    Looking for a low cost laptop was my priority as I only needed it got basic Microsoft 365 work, email, browsing, and watching streaming movies. This laptop fit the bill but I realized it performs much more than the minimum I had hoped for. The speed is amazing. Ergonomically well designed too. Great value indeed!

    Been pretty good so far, it was a learning curve with all the new Microsoft things and having to disable certain functions to download the Norton app, but overall the computer does what it needs to do. It does lag at times and goes slow when doing multiple things, which is a drawback since I got this new one because my old one does the same thing and freezes. I’m hoping it was just too many tabs opened and it won’t happen again. I’m satisfied with this product and it is doing what I wanted it to do, basic personal work and when needed to attend a zoom meeting I can do that.

    Basic computer good for doing all the basic things. Pretty sure there’s some kind of virus or something on it now, as it’s running at 100% CPU constantly and going very slow after only a few weeks. Will do some scans and see if I can fix it myself as we’ve only had it for a few weeks and already past the return window.
