This is a decent budget laptop but can trackpad will sometimes completely stop working rendering this unusable if you do not have a separate mouse. Runs decently but could use a RAM upgrade. Feels very plastic-y and build quality could be better but pretty expected for the price.

We needed a relatively basic laptop to replace one that died. This fits the bill and then some. Fast, quiet, and lightweight.

I got this for school & it works perfectly. No issues. Camera works excellent, my professors can see me clearly & can hear me. Great amount of storage for just school work. Perfect size for me, I like a bigger screen. Absolutely easy set up. I would def recommend this for any college student just starting out or even ending school.

It gets the job done. If you are used to a higher resolution screen then the lesser quality of this one will be easily noticed. Nothing major but the vivid colors just don't exist. Otherwise, for surfing the web, Word, Excel, and storing pictures, this thing works just fine.

I'm writing this review a little over a year after I bought this laptop for college. I'm an English-Writing major and the computer has served me well thus far. It's not too heavy to carry around, it has a decent-sized screen, and it has (probably more than I need) incredible storage. Basically, it's a great computer to use for writing, browsing the web, homework, and just general office stuff.

This is probably one of the best bang for the buck no frill easy to navigate for browsers/videos and basic office editor works. The windows S mode is a little limiting if you only install trusted software. This won't be your full blown computer and serves basics well.

Lenovo, you know I love you right? Ok, now that we have that out in the open, this guy is a great bargain laptop, but don't expect i3 or i5 performance. Even with a SSD it's a little pokey. Also, don't forget to turn off that annoying S mode bs. I mean really MS, what's the point, are we that incompetent as users? Or are you just forcing people to use the MS Store? I know it's the latter, you don't have to reply. Quality of the build is good, as it is with most Lenovo's, it's not Yoga standard but it's a third of the price of a 700 series so you get what you pay for. If it's for your kid, a Interweb browsing toy or just for some random Zoom meetings with Grandma, then you are good to go.

I think this laptop is pretty good for it’s price. Very good for what I need it for. I bought it because I went back to school and I needed something that had enough space and speed. Well this laptop, after kind consideration, I decided to purchased it and give it a chance. I received it a week later and I like the look and design of it. It runs smoothly too. The only thing I don’t particularly like is the mouse pad, I have to use a Bluetooth mouse to easily manipulate the mouse. For some reason the mouse on the laptop is very unresponsive and delayed like it wants to work but at the same time it doesn’t. It’s been a month since I purchased it and it works great. I like it, but I just wished the mouse would be better.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6-Inch Laptop. With regard to the touchpad, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. If the issue continues, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support for additional help at: 877-453-6686.

I've bought a few laptops around the same price, some even higher,
but this has got to be the best one so far. Thanks to the ssd, it boots up and load apps fast. The screen is beautiful, makes it great for watching Netflix. Battery life could be better, but i'm around a power source most of the time, so I can't complain about it that much. Only downside for me is it's camera quality, but then again I could get a separate webcam!

This computer is the best one you can buy for the price practically. I researched them for a couple weeks before I got settled on the Lenovo but the Ryzen tech and Radeon tech are well worth their price. And this was still sub $400 I think when I bought it. It could’ve been sub $500 though. Either way I highly recommend this laptop.

If you want a good laptop overall you should get the. If you want a laptop for gaming, it’s decent as well. But my main problem with this is that it only has a 3 hour battery life when fully charged, so I almost always have it in the charger.

Fired it up to get latest updates and to be sure it didn't have any damage in shipment. Will update it every couple months till Christmas time. May have to kill 's' mode due to the local school district software. Time will tell. So far, so good.
