Customers are saying

Customers are positive about the IdeaPad 1's performance, ease of use, ample RAM and storage, lightweight design, and long battery life. Many appreciate its value for the price. However, customers are negative about the screen quality, citing issues such as washed-out colors and grainy resolution. The overall experience appears to be positive for most users despite this drawback.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    We were looking for something for our daughter to do some light gaming on a budget. She specifically wanted to play The Sims 4 and Minecraft and this computer fit the bill perfectly. She of course also uses it with office applications for various tasks, and it streams from the Internet exceptionally.

    Perfect for what I needed. Very fast web surfing, even with lots of tabs open. Handles older games very well, even ones that require better graphics. Small SSD, so an external is recommended if necessary.

    Still getting the hang of my computer. I usually go for touch screen, but I decided to try non-touch screen. When I look for a website, the cursor will disappear. Very frustrating to say the least. Battery does not last very long.

      Hey AndreaW, thanks for choosing Lenovo! Regarding the trouble you're having, to try to resolve this, first, 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. 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 for further assistance. It is good to know that your IdeaPad has been otherwise working well for you so far, and we appreciate you sharing your feedback with us. Lenovo

    The team members that guided me through my purchase were a great help. They were knowledgeable, professional, patient and courteous. It made the entire transaction painless. I have recommended my coworkers to shop at Best Buy due to this encounter. I am satisfied with my purchase.

    As the title says, it was a great value and a suitable long term replacement for my 12yr old Lenovo that went from Windows 7 to 10, but didn't cut the mustard for 11. All this laptop does is annual taxes and occasional web browsing, so cheap was important.

    Setup was a breeze. Laptop startup time is really quick and can multitask really well. Expecting a longer battery life as advertised but doesn't meet the specs.

      Hi Jay7dm, thanks for choosing Lenovo! If you want to squeeze out more battery life, we recommend users utilize the Lenovo Vantage application that is preinstalled to adjust settings related to power and battery performance (to access relevant settings, open Vantage > Device Settings > Power). Users can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both worlds. We're glad to hear that your IdeaPad otherwise performs well for you, and we really appreciate you sharing your experience and feedback with us. Lenovo

    The process of purchasing my laptop online and picking it up was easy and quick. I took it and my old laptop to the geek squad, and Joshua was very helpful. It took only a day for the data transfer to be completed, Zachary helped me with the issues and questions I had. I was very happy with the outcome!

    The laptop is great, but the battery seems to be old. It's not charging as fast as it should. After leaving it on the charger overnight it was barely at 29%. I have exchanged it...will update based on the experience with the new one.
