Flash Memory is too small.
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The internal flash memory is so small you can't even download and install Windows updates. It has become useless.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Battery didn't last a month
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I knew this was a cheap computer and I didn't expect much. But, I was pretty surprised when the battery stopped charging after a couple of weeks. It just says charging but remains at 0%. Unplug it and it's dead. I've been trying to get Lenovo to take it back but the best solution so far has been to try to chat and that takes forever. You type two lines of text and wait forever for them to respond. Then, it's cut and paste from general troubleshooting. I didn't need them for that. Anybody need a doorstop?

It’s awful

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 120s-11 laptop. It should not take 60 seconds for a program to open or change a tab. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, in fact, this system comes with a 1-year free subscription of Microsoft Office 365 already installed. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
Well it is a nice inexpensive laptop...

Machine Freezes
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have only had the item about 30 days and it constantly freezes on me. Not the best and runs slow.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBrand response from Lenovo Product Expert
Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 120s-11 is an entry level, light use system with its Intel Celeron processor. It is not meant for multi-tasking or demanding programs. It is good for Microsoft Office and light internet browsing. Obviously, Windows 10 should not freeze up when in use. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programing errors have occurred.
