      Hi Amin,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the storage capacity of this IdeaPad 1 has fallen short of your business and school requirements.

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

    A solid choice for basic needs, the Lenovo Ideapad 1 is a budget-friendly laptop that handles everyday tasks like web browsing, email, and word processing with ease. The Intel Celeron N4500 processor and 4GB of RAM are sufficient for light multitasking, but don't expect to run demanding software or games. The 128GB eMMC storage is faster than a traditional hard drive, but it's on the smaller side, so you might need to rely on cloud storage for larger files. The 15.6" HD display is adequate for the price, though not as sharp as a Full HD screen. Where this laptop shines is its value. It's a reliable and affordable machine for students, casual home users, or as a secondary computer. The "Abyss Blue" color adds a nice touch of personality to an otherwise standard design. If you're looking for a no-frills laptop for essential productivity, the Ideapad 1 is a competent and cost-effective option.

    recently purchased a Lenovo laptop from Best Buy, and I couldn’t be happier with both the product and the shopping experience. The laptop itself has been fantastic—fast performance, a bright and crisp display, and a solid build quality that feels durable yet lightweight enough to carry around easily. Whether it’s for work, streaming, or everyday use, it handles everything smoothly and reliably. The battery life has also been impressive, which makes it perfect for travel or working on the go. Buying from Best Buy made the process even better. The staff were knowledgeable and friendly, helping me compare models and find the best option for my needs and budget. The checkout process was quick, and I appreciated the helpful tips they shared about setting up my new device. Overall, I’m very pleased with my Lenovo laptop and the excellent service I received at Best Buy. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a quality laptop and a hassle-free buying experience!

    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!

    A Simple Laptop for Everyday Use

    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 is a great, very cost-effective laptop! I bought it for some online classes I started taking a couple months ago, and it did everything I needed it to, albeit a little slowly when I was running multiple programs and had multiple tabs open on my browser. I personally prefer macOS, but I was looking for a lower out-the-door cost and this Lenovo was the right price. I ended up selling this to my brother who loves it and is getting much use out of it and got myself an iPad haha! Highly recommend this laptop though, great deal!

    The laptop is good for schoolwork. When trying to run multiple applications it seems to lag. Comes with several applications loaded on it from the factory. The screen is like an anti glare and it is difficult to get the settings for brightness to look decent. It does the job and it was the best product for the price! I’m happy with it.

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

    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.

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.
