Buyers remorse
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So slow so many issues already has several viruses. Should have sprung for something more expensive for my kids school.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendIT IS A MINI LAPTOP DONT BUY
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The description should CLEARLY state that this is a mini laptop. I wasted my time buying this product online super excited because I thought I was getting a GOOD DEAL however, I opened the box to find what appeared to be a toy laptop. You've got to be kidding me. Do not call this a laptop implicating that it is FULL SIZE call it what it is...a mini CHEAP laptop that works for people who cannot afford a better one. Extremely disappointed. Not purchasing from this brand again. Their descriptions and the actual product do not match.

Don't waste your Money
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Had bought for my son for school. Thought with price and storage etc was great. Completely horrible . Internet world stagger , the very little work he uses it for for school was very very slow. Had to keep restarting cause would keep getting stuck. Both got very frustrated. And it wasn't anything of that of a program to have this kinda problem already. Few keys wouldn't work correctly and displayed wrong symbol or number using keyboard. Returning. Don't waste time.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 130S-11 Laptop. 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 programming 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 there are no incompatible programs installed, be sure all operating software is up to date on the computer. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software installed on the computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.
Okay for short term
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It was on sale when I got it. It worked fine for about a year and now I need a replacement. Personally it is not worth it.

Perfect portability size, good minimum specs
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wanted an inexpensive laptop to use for online accounting purposes that would be totally off limits to my children. I was using a 14" Lenovo with 2GB RAM and 32eMMC Memory which I tried numerous times to perform a Windows 10 update. Even after following all the prompts with an additional micro SD card to expand memory the update would not complete. The 4GB of RAM of this Lenovo makes a significant difference in faster browsing speeds and overall responsiveness. With 64eMMC memory Windows updates should not be such an issue with this model. Compared with the 14" laptop, I prefer the portability of this 11.6" Lenovo. The smaller screen size did not hinder my productivity what so ever, it works great. Three of my children use 11" Chromebooks for school and they are all pleased with that size, telling me that anything larger is too big. Having the included 1 year subscription with Microsoft Office included also sold me on this Lenovo. The quality of the two Lenovo laptops; screen, keyboard, touch pad etc., are very good with a sleek and expensive looking design. Although the difference in specs made a huge difference with the overall experience between the two.

Charger stopped working
||Posted . Owned for 11 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Didn't even last a full 10 months before the laptops charger died on me, either that or the charging port is broken, which would make it even worse. I'll try to reach out to best buy and Lenovo to ask for a replacement and I'll change my review based on that. I hope I can get this sorted bc it was not a cheap laptop by any means.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendbroken after 4month use
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this on 6/26/19 and broken already around October!! The screen acted funny and it was gone. Used gently for only schoolwork. Didn't even use for the game or anything. Very disappointed. When you think about using only for 4months, it's not good price.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 130s-11. Resetting this device back to original factory settings may correct the issue you describe. This system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the left side of the device, right near the Micro-SD card slot on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

"Coooo-ool!"; Yeah, really cool!
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.My first IBM compatible personal computer (the choice was IBM or MAC; new, used, leased, borrowed, or university lab) I was able to purchase was a Gateway 2000 with Microsoft Windows 3.1 in the early '90s for about $3000. There was a sample video of Mr Bill Gates, saying "Cool!" What is cool about this: 1. Windows 10 S Mode (if you are looking for a windows OS; S could stand for Security, Streamlined, Standardization; Option: One can "switch" off S-Mode (its one way; once you go out you can not go back - you maintain the control to not stay within the recommended ristrictions, within S-mode, if it is not a good fit; otherwise, there are good reasons to Opt-In to the restrictions to sustain an idealized (one can never have absolute security) integrity)) To maximaize security, streamlining, standards: - restricted browser: Microsoft Edge; - applications: Microsoft Store; If that doesn't suit you; you can switch out and you still have a MS Windows 10 OS, assuming thats want you want, anyway. (This is not! a "downgraded" Win10 - it suits very well a type of use and the challenges inherant (sp?) with the intended use). 2. Lenova Ideapad. Eleven inch screen! (not too big; not too small; just right as second pc - go for a bigger screen for a first or solo pc). Weight: 2.2 lbs (1 kg or 1 Newton due to the force gravity); Streamlined! (no moving parts (no hard drive (solid state memory); no fan for cooling; no cd/dvd drive) Only 2 USB ports; 1 HDml port; AC port and power adaptor; microusb port; a card reader. Connectivity: WiFi; Bluetooth. I wanted a RJ45 port and purchased an adaptor doggle (with a cd to load drivers - that wasn't going to work out too well - good news - drivers already featured in windows 8 and up (Plug and Play). One can accessorize according to adaptation (there are tradeoffs here; may already have these or expect to pay more as your total price. 3) Currently, lowest price New! laptop. 4) S might be for Satisfaction Computer has a great look and feel (a brushed metallic). Excellent experience for Internet browsing and interactivity. For heavy keying use would attach a keyboard. Great price for a price conscious consumer, such as I. Its light, its smart, it looks good, it feels good, and it will make your life better. Add tax (about 10%; Add CA recycle fee) It is truly a BEST BUY!!!!! Very! Cool!
