    Product quality is good, if you are searching a laptop to navigate/searching on websites one by one this is enough. In my case I needed to open a lot of files and webpages in the same time and I was frustrated with the laptop delay to open my files…

      Hi FranciscojC,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that this IdeaPad 1 has not performed smoothly for you. We'd like to work with you to try to improve your experience.

      To start, we wish to provide some context on the system's intended use. This model is an entry level, light use system designed for singular, non-demanding tasks. This IdeaPad is also good for using built-in and compatible applications available in the Microsoft App store. This model ships with Windows 11 Home in S mode Operating System, a more secure, lighter version of the Windows 11 Operating System due to the computer’s entry level specifications.
      Should you feel you are using the device for its intended use and still experiencing a performance issue, we recommend searching for and applying any available updates through Windows Update Settings. Also, ensure that your home Wi-Fi network is compatible with, and is capable of supplying your laptop with sufficient bandwidth to deliver the performance you desire for internet-based tasks.

      If after these steps your issue persists, we then recommend reaching out to Lenovo Tech Support at this number: 877-453-6686, and providing a representative with details of your issue, so that they may help by providing a solution for you.

      Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page should you have any questions or need assistance.

      Hi ShannonH,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are sorry to hear that this IdeaPad 1 fell short of your performance needs and expectations. This system is designed to handle light use tasks like web browsing and word processing, and it is not intended for multitasking. If you are using the system for everyday tasks, yet it is still underperforming, to try to resolve this, we recommend ensuring you have the latest software by checking for updates, as this could correct the issue. To do so, first, open the Settings app > Select the Windows update tab > Select the Check for updates button, applying all available updates.

      If after the available updates are applied and the system restarts, yet the issue persists, in-depth troubleshooting will be necessary to fix the problem. We recommend contacting Lenovo Support here: 877-453-6686, for further assistance.

      You make a good point in that we encourage all to understand what they may need in a computing solution and choose a computer that best fits your requirements and preferences.

      Please feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions or further comments. Lenovo
