I bought this to check email and Facebook and play game apps while watching TV in the evening. It is VERY lightweight and yet large enough to use the keyboard comfortably. I travel for business and I decide to take this along rather than my e-reader and it worked out well. I accidently smashed it into the edge of a stair and there is no discernable damage. Lenovo are so tough.
After trying it out, I bought one for my mom and each of my children.

It's nice and light and fast enough for what I bought it for.
I needed a separate PC for syncing my wife's iTunes when our old one died. It will also serve as an inexpensive immediate backup if my Mac ever dies on me.
It does the trick for those things.

I purchased two of these for my high school sons. I was concerned about the processing speed being too slow. They are able to complete work and have no issues with speed. One thing that we've noticed...if you haven't been using the computer for a few hours, you may have to reconnect to the wifi when you're ready to start again. Overall, it was a great investment for low cost.

I thought with the 2gb of RAM this computer would be slow but to my surprise it's not too bad. Probably the best computer I've ever bought under 200 got it for 150 on sale perfect for a kids first laptop.

I picked it up to do some light computer work. It's good for what it is and the price. I might have spent a little more for a bigger hard drive. But with the USB port, i'm good. Good for a beginner or light computing work.

I love this Lenovo product. The only reason for the 4 stars is the wifi connectivity (which sometimes requires a full restart), and the clock doesn't keep the correct time. Otherwise, I would've given 5 stars.

This is a great, lightweight and compact laptop that is perfect for basic use. I was working on a class assignment when my previous laptop crashed and needed an inexpensive replacement. It was easy to set up and is extremely compact to carry around. Not the best speakers but it does have a headphone jack. Definitely worth the price.

Don't want to jinx myself but I've had zero issues with this device. It works well and I was hesitant because it was such an excellent price. I use it for simple work projects and nothing else. It's worked great the entire time and starts up and works as well as it did when I bought it a year ago. Great deal!!!

I bought two for my 8 year old twins

Got two and they are light and compact, great for the kids. However, it is taking me forever to download the virus software it came with almost an hour and not done yet. I had to leave the house a few times trying this so can't get it done to download the program wirelessly . I also found the internet explorer it came with is so slow, that I installed Google chrome so it works better now as my 8 year old a were getting frustrated with the explorer browser. So far it is ok for their schoolwork needs, but definitely SLOW downloading programs from the web.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 100s-11 for your children. With regard to the anti-virus software, if you are using the McAffee software that came with this system, the software is already on the device you just need to purchase a product key to activate. If you are using a different anti-virus software program, you must uninstall McAffee first as it will block/conflict with any other anti-virus software. This is probably why it is taking so long to download.

This laptop is perfect for my high schooler. The small compact size makes it easy to transport to and from school. The memory and Microsoft Office is perfect for completing her projects.
