    I purchased 15 of these for my small business to use to teach kids technology classes and they are working just fine. I've had them for about a month now and I haven't experienced any problems. My major concerns were if the processor was powerful enough or if the 32GB of memory would suffice. So far, we're good. I'd definitely recommend this to someone with minimal needs. I compared this one to similar models and went with this one because it has two USB ports instead of only one.

    This is a great lightweight and small laptop. Keep in mind that this laptop has barebone specs.. That means just enough memory and 'hard drive' space for basic tasks. If you need more space, get a micro SD card for it.. they're cheap as well. This laptop is meant for things like surfing the internet, writing emails, and using MS Office. It is not the kind of laptop you use to play games or do anything meant for higher end hardware. This laptop has amazing battery life and also comes with 1 year subscription to Office. Got this on sale for $149.

    No Touch Pad Gestures

    Really wanted to like this small and slim laptop. It is extremely light weight and easy to carry around. The CPU was just powerful enough to navigate through browsers and watch movies on the go and would be ideal for airplane trips. Ultimately I had to return the laptop because the touch pad does not support any gestures. I enjoy sitting on my bed and surfing the web and use the touch pad frequently to scroll through pages. So bottom line is if you need something portable and can sacrifice the touch pad features then this is for you.

    I purchased on of these for my wife and after setting it up I loved it so much I bought one for myself! This is no speed demon but a very functional and small computer. Perfect for the briefcase or purse. It comes with Windows 10 and I have had no problems with it whatsoever. You will probably want to install a mini SD card for extra memory as it comes with only 32 GB. But with SD card prices where they are, this thing is a steal!

    Great Little Laptop

    I purchased this laptop as my other laptop had picked up a bug and I needed an immediate fix. I have been impressed with its speed and it works great. For the price it came with Microsoft Office which I needed for a year. The office product was as much as this laptop so it was a great deal. It is ultra light and even my teenage daughter likes it! I have a co worker that went and bought one a week after my purchase.

    You can't beat the price for the laptop, plus it included Windows office for a year free. The mouse is quite touchy so I just leave the mouse where I know it won't click anything.

    My computer crashed on me all of a sudden, so I was pushed to be in the market for a new laptop which needed to be purchased right away. I bought this Lenovo, and I will admit that after I played around with it for a bit, it was a great little machine. Now if I was in need of a very portable, ok specs, with out it being a touchscreen, then this would have fit the bill. But in my line of work, I needed a bit more.

    The idea pad 100s is well made, weighs only 1kg, easy to use, feels nice to the touch, lightweight and comes with the newest windows 10 operating system. I was looking for a second system with just the basis, (email, surfing the web, facebook) to use in my man cave. It is perfect. It has no CD drive so fewer moving parts to break. The sleek design is beautiful and pleasing to use,. I absolutely love it!

    Bought it for my daughter for her school use. She is very happy with it. I gather, it is good for use when one primarily uses Internet and works on Internet. If one needs to save a lot of bulky files on the lap top, then one would need a higher end lap top. For a student however this is an economical and a great product.

    I bought this so I could do some writing on a cruise I was going on. It's small, which is great for travel and the battery life is amazing. Fast for what I was using it for, I'm not playing games or anything like that, just web browsing, writing and watching netflix. If you're looking for anything more, than you need to look at something more expensive. But for what I needed it for, I'm super happy.

    So this laptop does not bring specs to show off. however I would say it is the cheapest brand New that money can buy for a windows laptop. After reading the reviews I decided to purchase it. It is very slow, and after a couple of pages on the Web browser lagging is inevitable, but for 109.99 dollars there is nothing to complaint about. I love the built quality compact, durable and very solid. There is very little screen flexibility.The battery last all day long. This computer is designed for the user that only browses the Web, check emails and does not need speed such as my dad. Something I did notice is the keyboard is based on the Country set in the language for example: if you place the Language in Spanish from (Cuba) the function of the keyboard for @ will not work when pressing shift +2. So keep it in English from United States and you should not have any trouble.

    Chose this for my grandson, a high school freshman. Many assignments are done in Google Classroom, lots of reviews on Quizlet, so a light weight easy to use notebook is needed. Cost effective for this point in his education.

    I needed a PC to run software for my CPAP machine. Wouldn't run on my Mac. This seemed like the ideal solution. Inexpensive yet powerful enough to get the job done. It has worked perfectly. Be warned, the track pad is VERY basic. Buy a small portable mouse.
