    Great computer at a great price

    I absolutely love my Lenovo laptop! I bought it to type my papers, research on the web and have access to what I needed for classes. It works perfectly and does everything I was expecting. I love the size and weight, it doesn't feel heavy or cheaply made either. It has great structure to the keypad and is very comfortable to type. I doesn't over heat when I use it or doesn't make loud noises when its on. the charge last for what I need throughout the day, so I'm very happy with the battery life. my only concern would be the keypad, it sticks every now and but I bought a wireless mouse that works perfectly. Overall I highly recommend this computer for anyone who needs a basic computer for school. I will defiantly purchase another Lenovo!

    Great Little PC

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I got this because it was inexpensive and the reviews were good. Being a college student I needed a PC that is super functional and good on my wallet. I've had this Lenovo Ideapad for a month now and I carry it around everywhere on campus. It's light and the battery last all day for me. The only bad thing I can say about this product is that the mouse pad started to rub off and now its harder to glide my fingers across when I'm using the mouse pointer. But I usually use my portable Bluetooth mouse so it's not that big of a deal breaker for me.

    Works very well, is fast and reliable, the screen is not exactly HD but it works. I want this computer for streaming and watching videos, you can hook it up to a nice HD tv with an HDMI cable, and you have nice high quality movies playing. Battery lasts long, your sound bar or sound system works very well with this computer as well.

    Just got this for my 5th grader, but I see that it can be used even by a professional. Light, and very efficient computer. Not bloated like other new computers. Just installed office 365 and good to go. Very good value for money.

    You Get What You Pay For

    The initial impression of the computer was a good one. The computer is very light, turns on quick and easy to carry around. I bought it on Sale for $129 and free 1 year of Microsoft 360. Many of the reviews mentioned problems with Wi-Fi.. We had issues with Wi-Fi right away bought blamed it on our router. The issue kept getting worse and worse (laptop would disconnect every 10 minutes or so) so we decided to call Lenovo Support. They had us do some troubleshooting and nothing worked. Then they asked us to do a factory reset and the computer completely broke down at that point. We were asked to ship it to them so they can repair it. We have been told it will take about 28 days to fix. I bought this laptop for school and now i wont have it back until the semester is almost over. Low Price, High Risk.

    I was surprise that this small laptop is way faster than a aspire acer R11, i'm not a big fan of the storage though, but that can always be add on to it with a micro SD card. I use this for school and skype using my head I also love the feel of the keyboard the battery seems good depending on the brightness settings like always.

    Nice laptop for light use

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I purchased this as a secondary computer to have handy for those things that I cannot do easily on my iPad. For $129 my expectations were low, but this greatly exceeded them. It is quick - I have never had it hang while surfing the internet, etc. like some of my Windows tablets have done in the past. A free year of Office 365 is what sold it for me. A couple of criticisms - the space bar takes a lot of pressure to use it, so sometimes when I am typing fast it doesn't work. Not enough to consider it a problem, just something I have to be aware of. Also, the charger cord is very very short. In summary - a nice little laptop that I would buy again.

    It's my 2nd laptop. At the beginning, I just purchased it for fun and see how it works before returning it within 14 days. However, I decided to keep it. It's fast, quiet and cool while it is operating. It's good for internet, email, Facebook, Skype, etc. There are around 11GB free space after everything updated by Windows.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s-11. First, be sure that WiFi is enabled on the system. Sounds simple, but always check that first. Assuming, WiFi is enabled and the system still will not connect, there may be modem driver updates for your specific system. Follow the link below to look for new driver updates for your specific system. You can also run diagnostics from the Lenovo site as well. As always, be sure to create a restore point on your system before you make any changes. Here is the link:

    Missing Office product ID activation key

    It comes with Office 365 but you stil need to enter the product ID to activate. The product id was no where to be found on document inside the box or on any labels. So i returned it. Ist compact and and lightweight are the good things about it. But windows 10 is horrible.

      There is no need for a product activation key. This is a 1-year "trial" version of Microsoft Office 365. After the 1-year trial you need a product key to continue using the software. lenovo

    Was looking for a cheap laptop for basic browsing the web and email. Saw this as an open box for $149.99 had a scuff or 2 on the lid but basically brand new. Battery gets about 3-4 hours on a charge. This little thing is built like a tank! It has held up really well from heavy daily use since May 2016, no bad keys, track pad getting pretty smooth and touchy but I love the feel and performance of this laptop if you need something basic without lightning speed (I'm upgrading :-)) this is a great buy.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s-11 laptop. With regard to the touchpad, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. lenovo
