    This laptop is straight to the point, it's affordable but efficient. My family needed a little laptop to use for paying bills, accessing the Internet, and doing some quick research. I found this to be a much better alternative to the chrome book, because we can ask a simple programs like Microsoft word and anything else we need. Of course you're not going to be gaming or editing videos with this one, but so far it has treated our family well.

    I absolutely love this laptop. It's just the right size, it easily fits in my backpack. It's great for school which is what I use it for. It also has a lot of cool and useful features. The only con is that there is no CD slot which I didn't need anyway.

    This is a good laptop if you need something small for very basic things. It's almost like a tablet with a keyboard attached. Very lightweight and compact, but not very powerful.

    I bought this while my other Lenovo was getting its hard drive replaced. This has very little storage, but it is very lightweight and portable. If you travel and dont need a lot of memory it will suffice. It was VERY inexpensive, so it was worth it to have a backup if anything happens to my other laptop again.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s-11. With regard to additional storage for this device, there is a Micro-SD card slot on this device that you can use to add up to an additional 128GB of solid state storage space. lenovo

    Much more computer than I expected for the price. Runs Win 10 very smoothly and the SSD, though small, makes for lightning fast bootup etc. Lenovo build quality etc. remains intact. Storage is a problem, though, even with SD card slot so it's not great for heavy work use. Also, no built in ethernet port so you'll need a USB adapter for wired operation. I also like the way the screen tilts all the way back which helps keep hinges from cracking under stress. Excellent computer for someone on the go (very slim and light with excellent wifi) and for web browsing and email monitoring. A "best buy."

    I bought this st first because I really wanted a red small laptop, but after bringing it home, setting it up, and updating the windows software, plus installing Microsoft suit I was already practically out of memory, it began to lag, and I couldn't connect any Bluetooth devices to it, and lastly the screen quality sucked. I returned it the next day.

    I wasn't excepting to purchase another laptop. However my previous one died and I needed something quickly without costing and arm and a leg. While it is not a powerhouse, it works well for web browsing and the occasional movie while traveling. It is light, small and the battery holds up well too.

    Very small, light weight and compact computer. Great for taking on trips in carrier-on bag and works will on plane for music and watching videos. Has HDMI connection to connect to TV for larger screen display. Has microSD card slot so you can expand memory. Has two USB port which I purchased a 4-port expander as today there are a lot of USB devices (like keyboard, flash drive, wireless mouse, etc.) I purchased on sale at Best Buy for $129. Retail is $199 ( a little high -- I'm glad I was able to get it at the lower price.)

    Great for a basic computer to check email, Facebook, Twitter, and whatever other social media sites you visit. Also nice for streaming movies. Makes a nice gift for someone who wants more than a tablet but still the ease of a tablets size and portability.

    I love the intel atom baytrail processor family, they make for a pretty powerful and low power all-in-one chip. The Lenovo laptop is pretty sturdy, it's not flashy at all, it's just a good ol' plain laptop. However there is one thing that I absolutely wish they had changed... The 32GB SSD drive is just TOO small to do anything with, by time Windows 8 / Windows 10 is done updating, you might have 1 - 3GB of free space and with demands now-a-days that would be wasted in no-time. If the laptop had a 64GB SSD that would have made a WORLD of difference, because at least with that, I could load some essential applications. Overall, construction is great, baytrail is just awesome, but that SSD just ruins it.

    Bought these for my two Grand daughters grades 4 & 6, who needed their own laptops for home and school. The books respond very well and should last well into high school. The girls couldn't put them down. The battery life was real good, should had opted to the touch screen version but being an extreme Windows user I believe these should more than suffice.

    This laptop is fair for the price. The speed is slow, but good for the price. However, the laptop screen is a bit wobbly, and any slight shake causes the screen to distort. In the end, I decided to return it due to this issue

    I bought two of these computers for my kids, it was a last minute decision and I did not do my research like I usually do. All in all, they are actually pretty good. They are definitely not for heavy use, but they have done almost everything they have been asked to do. The only thing they haven't been able to handle so far was an online role-playing game, but I'm not sure that the problem wasn't bad internet. I won't know until we get better internet at home. They run on Windows 10, which was a very small learning curve for my kids, which I was grateful for. My kids were used to Windows 8, so this was an upgrade in my opinion. I really like the parental controls options. Overall, good little computers that I am glad to have bought.

    I wanted a small, lite-weight device to surf while watching TV. It needed at least 1 USB port and a relatively long battery life. This fits the bill perfectly.
