    I bought this Lenovo laptop so I would not have to lug around my larger, more heavier Acer laptop. I have to say this little computer works well for my basic needs at home or on the go. I use Microsoft Word and Excel on a daily basis as well as surfing the net. I do not save to much to the HD to begin with so the 32GB of on board storage is ample enough for my needs. In conclusion this Lenovo is a far better choice then the Chrome Book I was going to purchase. Its very convenient and flies through all that I need it to do.

    BestBuy had this on sale online Black Friday at 4AM when I got up. I've been looking for something of this size for under $100 and I hate tablets because I don't do touch screens well. So I grabbed it up,along with a few ridiculously priced accessories (mouse, ear buds, DVD, blue tooth speaker & tote bag) and scored it all for under $150. Being the Christmas season, I hope no one got in trouble for this pricing. The Lenovo is great, Windows 10 is transparent (currently a Windows 7 user on 1 laptop, Unix on another) which was a plus. It definitely will become my traveling companion.

    So this was actually an impulse buy for Black Friday, i go the last coupon as i waited in line. i really like the size and build, i bought my daughther a lenovo a couple of months ago and i like the way it looked and felt. the mouse pad is very responsive, seems very fast, maybe because the drive is ssd. overall happy i got it, typing this review on it. did have to go buy a micro sd card same day, windows tried doing an update and said ther was not enough drive space, after updates, 9gb left in main drive.

    This laptop surpassed my expectations. The screen looks great. Keyboard is nice. The touchpad is multi-touch and you can tap to click or you can press down for a physical click. I like how the function keys can be set in BIOS to work as function keys instead of multimedia keys. The laptop has a Trusted Platform Module, so if you upgrade to Windows 10 Pro, you can secure the boot drive with BitLocker. The modern USB 3.0 ports and USB C is nice, as well as the MicroSD card reader. There is no fan - it is dead silent. Typing on the keyboard is pretty quiet, also. Office 365 works fine. If you use Chrome for web browsing, you might want to cut down on extensions. I had some rarely used extensions that made scrolling choppy. I bought this laptop mainly to use Remote Desktop, in order to access significantly more powerful computers, workstations and servers. Battery life is significantly extended when you let other devices handle the heavy lifting remotely.

    I use this for streaming videos, emails, and web browsing. Now don’t expect to have 50 tabs open. With this laptop I probably only have four tabs open max otherwise it slows down drastically. With only 2gb of ram it’s understandable. It’s a great laptop at a great price.

    Good unexpectedly fast little laptop. I was not expecting too much out of 2 Gig ram and almost no storage space, and I was wrong. Keep in mind you may want a good sized jump drive around for these crazy big reinstall windows 10 updates. You will need it for space. If you force all the updates and get that out of the way, you will have an enjoyable little laptop. I did end up getting a 128 Gig micro SD and a USB to NIC adapter and spent an extra, $50 maybe. Office 365 free for 1 year, a value near the cost of this laptop. Do all the windows updates and your 3rd party programs, Adobe, Java, etc before planning on using it and you will have a great little laptop for a fraction of what others have paid.

    The design of this laptop is good. The main big shortage for a win 10 laptop is the hard drive. 32Gb is too small for Win10 operating system. After power up the device, it showed the storage space is only 11Gb left, after a few hours, it was only 5 Gb left. Do not even mention the win 10 will accumulate more and more files during its operation. There will be no space for the operating system to run after a while

    I am using this laptop strictly for entertainment. Surfing the web. Purchasing stuff online. Online banking. Word processing. It can do all of that stuff. But it will take some work from you. First of all this laptop doesn't have enough hard drive space so your going to have to uninstall the crap Lenovo installed. I uninstalled the 4 games and saved over 1GB of hard drive space. Second issue is the processor just meets the minimum requirements set by Microsoft. So, do yourself a favor and uninstall the default Antivirus and just use Windows Defender. Virtually all of the Aftermarket Antivirus Products will "cripple" the performance of this laptop and you will never be Happy. Second issue is "Syncing" to the "Cloud". This can really slow down your computer to the point you will never be happy. You can use LibreOffice the Free version for word processing or WPS Office the Free version. The alternative is spend more money and get yourself a faster Laptop with a Intel i5 processor. This laptop is not suitable for School and Work unless your willing to do some work. Let me tell you I am enjoying this laptop immensely. Here is my tip of the week; when you first turn on your laptop it is going to ask you for your WiFi router password, skip this part because it will take 5 hours to install all the updates and you won't be able to do anything on your brand new laptop. Uninstall all the crap and get the laptop humming like a champ and reboot. When your all done enter your wifi password. One last tip it took about 15 minutes to uninstall the default Antivirus program because it has its hook in everything strangling the performance of the laptop.
