    Exactly what we were looking for! We’ve owned this for over a year now, and it has done everything we’ve asked of it! Great at creating spreadsheets, checking email and most things you’d expect from a computer. Knock on wood, we haven’t had a single issue with it. That’s why I wanted a Lenovo with an AMD processor. I’ve found that they are more reliable that certain other brands on the market today.

    This is a good laptop for the Black Friday price of $279. FHD, 256 GB storage, and 16 GB memory is all my mother-in-law needed to replace an older laptop.

    I bought this Lenovo IdeaPad 1 a few weeks ago and I’m super happy with it! It’s fast, lightweight, and looks really nice in the Abyss Blue color. The Ryzen 5 processor and 16GB of RAM make everything run smoothly — no freezing or slowdowns even with multiple tabs open. The screen quality is crisp and bright, and the battery lasts way longer than I expected. It starts up in seconds thanks to the 256GB SSD, and it’s perfect for work, streaming, and everyday tasks. Overall, this laptop offers amazing value for the price. Totally recommend it if you want something reliable, modern, and easy to carry around.

    So it has a really bad screen just to point out especially compared to my M1 Mac . But l eventually l got used to the screen and it barely bothers me at all. Really solid laptop so far but try to get the one with Ryzen 7 with the same specs for a better screen. It’s $200 more but you can get it on discount for the price of this. The battery life isn’t bad but isn’t excellent either. It gives about 6 hours on a full charge, again so different compared to my M1 Mac but l got used to it and now it’s not so bad

    I needed a new laptop for work. They told me to be economical but not bottom of the barrel. I did a lot of research and settled on this one. The speed keeps up with a lot of running office applications and does well with multiple programs. It's a basic computer, but it does what I need as an executive assistant.

    I absolutely love my Lenovo IdeaPad 1! It’s fast, reliable, and handles all my daily tasks with ease. Whether I’m working, streaming, or just browsing online, everything runs smoothly. The screen is bright and clear, making it enjoyable to use for long periods. The design is sleek and lightweight, which makes it easy to take anywhere. It feels well-built and looks great, too. For the price, this laptop delivers amazing value. If you’re looking for a dependable, stylish laptop that gets the job done, this is the one to get!

    While this has pretty fast speeds and is super light, the display colors actually SUCK!! I have tried everything to get the colors brighter but there is nothing. And of course I missed the return window by 2 days!! I love a Lenovo laptop but this one here is awful. My 10yr old Gateway laptop has a brighter more crisp screen than this thing. UGH
