    This is a basic laptop for web browsing, email, etc. I purchased this during the Black Friday deal. It has a plastic case but feels solid. The screen is below average. It's a bit slow on Windows 11 with limited space, but excellent for Linux. I recommend the Zorin OS for a Windows experience.

    Pros: Great for emails, web-surfing, and basic documents for day to day use if you are in the market for a cheap laptop. Since I got it as a $100 black Friday sale, it was a good purchase for basic functions. Cons: Really blurry screen, Very little memory for storage

    This has been a fine machine to use just for basic word processing an email. It only has 4 GB, but that is enough for what I’m using it for.

    This is a basic laptop, its what I wanted, streams Hulu, Netflix, Prime, YouTube, Facebook, seamlessly, surfing the web, checking mail, casual games, no, this is not a gaming computer, but where can you buy a brand new portable quality laptop for the deal price these days? You don't, especially with food and gas prices, I highly recommend this laptop, the keyboard is so nice, the mouse flows freely, I'm impressed. Switching out of S mode is simple, just go to Microsoft on click and its done. As for speed, any computer built on WIFI, well, its only good as your own WIFI speed, this is fast, I had multiple tabs open and playing a movie, and no buffering, no issues. Bluetooth is a plus, my acer didn't have, storage is perfect, as I use mostly the cloud, battery of course is great because its new, I don't know what more you could ask for in this basic computer, its a steal before the holiday rush.

    Only basic tasks needed? This computer fits it!

    Even though I returned it, it was not due to the computer itself but found out I didn't really need it. In the week I had it, I found it ran basic tasks like web browsing, YouTube videos, and basic applicaitons like Google Doc, it works okay and serviceable. Anything more intenstive, you may find this computer slow down and may be a bit frustrating however, if you use it for basic tasks, it can do that okay! For students and maybe as a first computer, I think this would fit the bill as a way to use Windows on a budget. The ports on the computer are great to have and the webcam works but would recommend using a third-party one if you require more detailed video. Overall, solid computer for basic tasks and in a pinch, it gets the job done!

    Wanted a smaller laptop and bought it on Black Friday event. Excellent deal. No brainier. Everything has worked well. Just a bit slow, not a touch screen. And I knew it and was fine with me because of a good deal. Upgrade to win 11 Home. So far so good. Glad I bought it.

    Daughter said Lenova was what she wanted, but did not realize an idealpad was just a step above a Chromebook (for the price a Chromebook would have been the cheaper option). The speed and ease of use is great though, and she says the comfort of the keys is perfect.
