Pain
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop doesn’t even have enough memory to do the windows updates, a bad buy in my opinion, got it for my mom who only really needs it for internet and to type letters and minor tasks like that. For that it works we’ll but not even a year after purchase the battery went bad. Geek squad was a lot of help they sent it off to be repaired with no cost! Geek squad is great, this lap top is not.

Faulty/Buggy
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I had this laptop since March of last year. It stopped working 6 months after I purchased the product. The sound is terrible. I used it for simple online courses for school. It didnt help much that while using it the internet would fliker on and off and the sidebar would constanly jump up the screen on its own. The computer would close out of the internet whenever I used it. This is my second lenovo computer; I work on this brand frequently at work and love it. It is definetlty not the the best quality but you get what you pay for right?

Disappointed
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop for my daughter in Feb 2018. Everything was working fine until about 3 weeks ago. The keyboard stopped working. Since I didn’t get the extended warranty there was nothing that they could do. $199 at the time I bought it down the drain. Not only that the memory is horrible on it. She only used it for school and didn’t save anything on it and it kept telling her to delete stuff cus she had no memory left. Honestly I would save your money.

OK BUT NOT Great
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this chrome book for my granddaughter for mainly surfing the web. The pages loaded slow and we didn't even try to stream anything once we saw how slow the pages loaded.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Lenovo Product Expert
Posted .This is not a Chromebook. The Lenovo IdeaPad 120s-11 laptop uses Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system. This device ships with the fastest WiFi available, 5G 802.11AC WiFi capability. Although 802.11AC is backward compatible to older b/g/n frequencies, be sure your router has the latest firmware updates. You can check for firmware updates by going to your router manufacturer's web site and checking for your model router's updates.
