    I'm a mac girl but being that their are some of my college classes that require me to take tests through internet explorer. I had to purchase a windows based computer and I must say for the price it has been great. Small enough to take with me to class and useful enough for the things I need. Plus I don't have to carry my Mac around with me, we all know the stress that causes because they cost so much and you don't want to damage them. Great buy!!!

    Very portable and nice looking, with Microsoft office, but no touch screen, space bar stuck once a while. Overall it is easy to use with very reasonable price.

    Needed to backup an iPhone while on vacation. This serves the purpose but just barely. It doesn't have much memory but it did what I needed it to do for a minimal amount of money. Would not consider this if you require any serious computer speed or memory.

    This is a nice portable notebook with most of the functions of a laptop with the exception of a dvd drive. I rate this much higher than the chromebook since this notebook has windows 10 installed which makes it much more functional than the chrome OS. If you can find an open box at a good price then buy it and you will not be disappointed, but at least find one that has 32gb or more of storage.

    I purchased this for my 8 year old grandson for Christmas and he absolutely loves it. It is just the right size and the price was competitive. He has downloaded games, watched movies, and is learning to type using the proper fingers. He can connect with the website from his elementary school and will be able to use this for homework, etc.

    Bought this when on sale, probably wouldn't at the full price just because I didn't really need it to begin with. :) Starts up fast, and does a great job of playing videos. Display is nice and bright and viewable for more of an angle than many other of this price range. Sound volume is better than my other netbook, tablet, laptops. So far I have not had problem with the small amount of memory, but usually only run one or two apps at a time. I added a memory chip and directed most of the applications I added to install on the chip. No noticeable difference in load times for those apps. I added a wireless mouse just because easier and faster for me than the built in pad. I have to kind of pound on the space bar on the keyboard or it won't register the space. Don't like that when I am doing a lot of typing.

    Love the light weight and how fast it gets up and going. Price was good. Read reviews before purchasing and several folks said speaker volume good. Only good on some things. Love the long battery life. Ideapad seems a little quirky but I must admit I only use it sporaticly so can't be more informative regarding this. Keyboard takes some getting used to. Touch is awkward and for some reasons it doesn't always seem to catch when I hit the space key. Overall a nice middle ground between my tablet and laptop.

    Using this for taking notes at conferences and meetings, checking/replying to emails, and working while on planes. Good battery life, compact, and light enough to carry around. Fits in my letter-size portfolio. I'm going to be happy not lugging around my full sized notebook for these events.

    I bought the Lenovo IdeaPad as a traveling computer that I could use to pay bills, shop, check in with the airlines online, etc. My other full size computer is just too heavy to haul all over the place. This little mini-computer fits the bill for me perfectly. With Microsoft Office installed, I can keep track of my bills, payments, buy tickets, etc. and it only weights a couple of pounds!! Great little gadget. I think my full size computer may get a little jealous because I would actually rather use the Lenovo than the larger computer, even at home!! Would buy again in a hot second!!

    For the price, it works. Screen is not great - small viewing angle, and not very clear, but it works. Light weight, easy to carry around. Keyboard is a bit small, but doesn't take long to get used to that.

    This laptop is lightweight and comes with windows 10. It is also sturdy and built very well. It comes with a 365 day subscription to Microsoft office. I have had this laptop for a couple of weeks now and I do not regret buying it one bit. It is not the most powerful laptop on the market and does not have a lot of processing power or storage space, but it works great for what I need -- which is basically an inexpensive laptop I can use for storytelling.

    Perfect 2nd computer for travel or meetings

    I LOVE this little computer! I use a laptop every day, but it is cumbersome to carry around to meetings or for traveling. This little computer does everything I need, and is so lightweight and compact. Loaded with Office 365 for a full year makes it a great value. My only negative is that the Internet connection is wireless only, and I would like to have an Ethernet cable option. But I would still buy this computer - for the value and flexibility.

    This was a purchase for my children and so far it's worked out well. No more fighting over who's turn it is on the computer. Nowadays a lot more of the homework and studying assigned is online. The laptop comes with Microsoft 365, which is great because Office is included. It also has a camera, which my girls are happy about because it allows them to record their "shows". I've only used it once and it was fine. I'm hoping the keys last because there was something flimsy about them when I used it. Overall, a great purchase for my 3 kids at a great price.

    I got this for traveling. It is very light and durable. Windows 10 works great on here. I added a 128GB SD card as my D drive. So far that is plenty of storage. The internal storage is 32 GB and so far has enough room for my apps. The screen is bright and very readable at this size. It does not heat up as there is no hard drive. I use it every day with an aircard for internet access. I can edit photos while playing a game on Facebook with GMAIL open. It is very fast.

    The price is good. I got it around 167 including tax. It is kind of slow 1-2 seconds delay in response in opening pages in normal processors. Also, the display may be the weakest link. The contrast can be much better. It is very light and easy to carry on. I should have purchased a better one but this can stay for my kids for checking emails, etc.

    No, I would not recommend this to a friend
