    Best deal around currently. Did some online and in-store shopping around and Best Buy had the best deal. Especially using the in-store pick up option allowed me to get it today rather than waiting for a shipper to kick my box to my door.

    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
