Customers are saying

Customers commend the IdeaPad 130 for its budget-friendly price, with many stating it's worth the cost. The 15.6-inch screen size is also well-received, as are the inclusion of a DVD drive and solid-state storage. However, the laptop is criticized for its slow performance, short battery life, and limited RAM.

This summary was generated by AI based on customer reviews.

    Very nice computer. Not a very expensive computer, but as said, very nice. One thing I will advise: When using touchpad, not an easy touch. Your finger(s) will not glide effortlessly, and keys must be pressed with a firmness unexpected. Nonetheless, a very nice (an inexpensive) computer.

    This is an extremely reliable laptop for the everyday use of a non-nerd individual. It's got a few bells and whistles if that's what you like, but not enough to overwhelm anyone. Its a great, solid rig. It's the Chevy Impala of laptops. I just bought my fourth and if necessary I'd buy a fifth...only one is mine, the others were gifts.

    I bought 2 laptops when I made this purchase, the Lenovo from Best Buy & a go from hp, for my sons virtual (online) school. I have to say so far I like the Lenovo better than the hp & spent way less on the Lenovo. It starts up fast & works great so far for what we need.

    It is a relatively barebones laptop which is all we needed. Battery life is OK, screens pretty solid, and its lightweight. Does not come with some software standard that would be nice but at the price point it is a solid laptop.

    I purchased this specifically for studying. No bells or whistles just study and this does the job very well. The only “complaint” would be that it came with a free period of security software that when I tried to download and install per the directions from Best Buy Windows told me that I already had security and that I would have to disable it to install the other one. It makes no sense to include free software that isn’t useable or that compromises the existing security that comes preinstalled.
