    This is a great laptop for someone who doesn’t need to do a lot of heavy duty things, just some browsing, banking, emailing, and maybe some solitaire or other easy games. It is easy set up, Lenovo is a good brand, and as long as you take care of it the laptop will run very well for a long time.

    Well finished machine. Full size laptop with number keys. Memory is upgradeable because there is an empty slot. Added 8gb and a 1tb external drive to mine. Sometimes a little slow, but still works well. Recommended for someone who needs a machine for basic tasks.

    Slow Performance and Poor Display

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

    I’ve had a very disappointing experience with my Lenovo laptop. The system is painfully slow, even for basic tasks like browsing or using Word. It takes forever to boot up, and opening applications feels like a chore. The lag is constant, making multitasking nearly impossible. Updates seem to make things worse instead of improving performance. The display is equally underwhelming—colors look washed out and the brightness is too low even at maximum settings. Watching videos or editing photos is frustrating due to the lack of clarity and poor contrast. The screen also has noticeable backlight bleeding, which ruins the viewing experience in dark environments. I expected better visual quality for the price. Overall, the laptop’s speed and display quality fall far short of expectations.

      Hi Hridhaan,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that your experience with your IdeaPad 1 has been poor and that it has fallen short of your expectations. We apologize for the disappointment that this has caused you.

      For context, the screen color production is an inherent quality of the panel used, it cannot be adjusted outside of setting changes, and with the system's entry-level architecture and design, multitasking is not an inherent quality of this system as well.

      If you feel you are experiencing an issue that we can assist with, please don't hesitate to reach out to Lenovo Support at this number: 877-453-6686, so that we can help.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo
