    You get what you pay for 100%

    Owned the computer for just over two months now. Purchased and use it strictly for school work. Everything was flawless for about 3 weeks. Since then, the battery life has dropped to about 4 hours. The computer crashes every other day if not everyday. And if you believe this computer comes with a warranty, that is false. If your hardware scan says everything is good, you have to pay for any other assistance. Have an HP that is still running for about 6 years now. Not sure if this ideapad will make it one year. Assuming I got a lemon, did plenty of research and read reviews on this computer making it sound like a great deal. However two months in and daily crashes, fool me once. Not twice...

    We needed a simple laptop for e-mail, Internet and watching movies for my brother-in-law who is mentally handicapped. This laptop worked out just perfect.

    So far it is easy to use. I even have my Bluetooth added. It keeps updating in the middle of what I'm doing but so far so good I guess.

    Poor WIFI Reliability and Slow

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

    I wanted to purchase a budget laptop, and based on reviews, this looked promising; however, the laptop was having difficulty connecting to my home WIFI, even though my phone was able too. The laptop was also very slow in web browsing. I returned this laptop the next day. Best Buy representative stated that he had seen a lot of these returned by customers. I went ahead and purchased the Surface 3 that was on sale and it works great!

    Great laptop

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

    I am a sophomore in college and this laptop does everything that I need it to do. It even works for my online classes that I am taking. My only issue with this laptop is the volume of the speakers. The speakers have no power at all. Other then that I love it. This was the first laptop that I have purchased for myself and I must admit I don't regret purchasing.

    This laptop is truly amazing, especially at a price less than what you would have to spend on a tablet or a phone. It's fast and can run Office. Keyboard is sturdy (unlike other Lenovos) and boots up in 15-30 sec.

    I purchased this laptop yesterday. This morning, as I was surfing the web, the screen went black. I had to reboot. Later, it flashed black again and a window popped up said something about display driver failed. It closed quickly and I couldn't read the entire message. It's going back tomorrow

    memory is not an issue! I bought a 512 mb sd card on line for less than $20 and use that for larger files. Not the fastest by far but very useful.

    This is the worst computer i ever had. I returned it after 2 hours i bought. The processor is so slow, and the screen froze sometimes. I returned to the store, and told customer service about the issue, the other rep told me the $200 laptop is not good. I just need a simple and light laptop that I can carry around, this doesn't work at all. Please read my review before you purchase this laptop.
