    If you just need a laptop for basic word processing, browsing the web and binge watching your favorite shows, I recommend this laptop. I needed it for school, and it works with everything I need to do.

    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.

      Hey AprilM

      Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with your IdeaPad 1. We wish to provide the best experience possible, so if you'd like to work with us, we’d like to work with you to address these points and improve your experience with your IdeaPad.

      First, regarding the performance issues you're experiencing, we recommend using the Task Manager to stop or end background processes that are unnecessary, as this can limit the CPU utilization you're seeing. If you are not familiar with the process, please visit this Lenovo Support webpage on the topic tied to the following web address: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht515301-how-to-use-task-manager-to-stop-or-end-processes-windows-10-and-11

      If this does not resolve the matter, this could be a software functionality issue. 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, apply all available updates. You may need to complete this step several times for all updates to populate.

      We hope that the information shared helps. Please don't hesitate to reach out to us should you have any questions or need further assistance, as your satisfaction is important to us.

      Best regards,
