    Seems to be better than I expected. I usually buy HP products and only new so so far I have been pleasantly surprised.

    Not enough memory to download Microsoft office. Only preloaded software downloaded so far; getting prompts to download Microsoft office by deadline - included in purchase. When I tried to download, received a message that there is no storage space available to download the program. Would return it if I could.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s-11. Microsoft Office 365 software is already loaded on this system as part of the Windows 10 operating system. You don't need to download any software, just initiate the trial by launching the software. The first screen you see will be a choose window where you can start the trial, activate the software (make a purchase) or take a tour. lenovo

    This laptop works ok. It does all basic computing tasks. It runs MS Office fine, although I haven't tried any intensive Excel calculating. It is not the fastest, although I knew that going in. The screen is acceptable, but you wouldn't really want to watch video if you are very particular. As a second laptop or as an alternative to a tablet, it's a fine addition.

    I had to return the first one and I never return things. I charged it fully and set it up. It was about 10 days before I turned it on again. The battery was dead. I plugged it in and it would not charge. I have had the second one about the same length of time and I had to plug it in. The computer is fine for what I paid but the battery is a disappointment.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s-11. With regard to the battery life, be sure you are actually shutting down the system and not just putting it to sleep. The battery will continue to drain in the sleep mode. lenovo
