    I’m a high school senior and needed a laptop mainly for school writing essays, doing assignments, and just keeping up with everything. This Lenovo IdeaPad has been awesome so far. It’s fast, super easy to use, and it doesn’t freeze up when I have a bunch of tabs open (which I always do lol). The screen looks really nice and the laptop isn’t heavy, so I can carry it around pretty easily. Also, the blue color is actually really cool, and it’s different from all the boring grey ones everyone else has. If you’re in high school like me and just need something reliable for classwork, this one definitely gets the job done. Also I added stickers to mine to make it seem more personal to me and they havent fell off

    “Affordable and Reliable Laptop for Everyday Use”

    I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15” FHD Laptop with Ryzen 5 7520U, 16GB memory, and 256GB SSD. So far, it has been a solid purchase for the price. Here’s my breakdown: Pros: • Performance: The Ryzen 5 processor combined with 16GB RAM ensures smooth multitasking and quick response times for daily tasks and light productivity work. • Display: The 15” FHD screen is crisp and vibrant, great for streaming and browsing. • Design: The Abyss Blue color gives it a sleek and modern look. It’s lightweight and easy to carry around. • Value for Money: At $360, this laptop offers excellent specs for its price range. Cons: • Storage: While 256GB SSD is fast, it might feel limited if you work with large files or need to store a lot of media. • Battery Life: It could last longer on a single charge, especially for users who need to work on the go. Overall, this is a great choice for students, casual users, or anyone on a budget who needs a reliable laptop for everyday tasks. Highly recommended!

    I’ve been looking for a laptop for so long. I am very happy with this one that I picked. As a college student, I needed a laptop that had windows, was reliable, not too heavy but sturdy. The battery life is pretty good for my use of it. The charger isn’t too heavy and the cable is long which is perfect for a dorm or when needing to charge it somewhere. One of my favorite things is the camera cover that comes with the laptop, the red makes it easy to see that your camera isn’t showing. The mousepad is to the left so that’s the only thing I find a little different. It has really good specs as well. Easy to use and overall I’m very happy with this product!

    Affordable Power and Performance: Lenovo IdeaPad

    The Lenovo IdeaPad 1 15" FHD Laptop has quickly become my go-to device for both work and casual use. Offering an impressive combination of power and portability at an affordable price, it’s an ideal choice for anyone looking for reliable performance without breaking the bank. Powered by the Ryzen 5 7520U processor, this laptop handles everyday tasks effortlessly. Whether I’m browsing the web, working on documents, or streaming content, it runs smoothly without any noticeable lag. The 16GB of memory is a huge upgrade for a laptop in this price range, allowing me to easily juggle multiple applications and browser tabs without compromising performance. The 256GB SSD provides fast boot-up times and quick access to files, making the overall experience snappy and responsive. I really appreciate the speed at which applications open and how quickly the system responds to commands. While the storage is on the smaller side, it’s perfect for most users who primarily use the laptop for work, web browsing, and media consumption. The 15" Full HD display is another standout feature. It offers crisp, vibrant visuals with great clarity, making it perfect for watching movies, working on spreadsheets, or just enjoying everyday content. The slim bezels help make the screen feel more expansive, giving it a modern and sleek look. The Abyss Blue color gives the laptop a sophisticated, understated appearance that’s both stylish and professional. Despite being lightweight and portable, the build feels sturdy, and the keyboard is comfortable for extended typing sessions. Overall, the Lenovo IdeaPad 1 is a fantastic value for anyone in need of a budget-friendly yet powerful laptop. It balances performance, storage, and design well, making it a great option for students, professionals, or anyone looking for a dependable, everyday laptop. Highly recommended for those who need solid performance at a great price point!

    Good laptop Ontrac is not reliable or trustworthy

    Good laptop I got it on sale for several hundred dollars off. The extra money might drop a star but still a good choice. I got this for recording and editing simple voice over work with Audacity and it works great for that and the little bit of internet browsing I use it for. Only real negative out of the purchase was Ontrac(the delivery service) losing the package and then not telling me and after I contacted BestBuy for a replacement which they quickly shipped Ontrac tried to say the original package had been delivered without providing any picture proof or even zipcode of delivery. This might have been a problem but Best Buy understood and didn't try and charge me for two laptops. From what BestBuy associates said its not unusual for Ontrac to try and pull stuff like this. Again positive for everything on BestBuy's end including their resolution of the lost first package.

      Hi, Kelly, thank you for choosing Lenovo! We are pleased to hear that your IdeaPad has been great, and we appreciate your time taken to share your experience and feedback with us. Also to clarify, the storage capacity is 256GB, but with the operating system and contingent software installed, the amount of available storage will be shy of the maximum capacity. Lenovo

    Great sale deal. Laptop has enough power to handle a everyday user and can even run some entry level games. Screen is 1080p with 60hz which is nothing to write home to mom about but it is smoother than other budget friendly laptops. Im pleseantly surprised.
