    Ideapad 1i: A Linux Lover's Unexpected Delight!

    The Lenovo Ideapad 1i leaves much to be desired when running Windows 11S mode, often feeling like it's on the brink of becoming e-waste. However, there's a silver lining for the tech-savvy: it transforms into a commendable performer when paired with Ubuntu Mate. If you're considering this device, it might be worth venturing into the world of Linux for a smoother and more efficient experience.

    Very light weight and attractive style. Got this with certificates and a sale price for only $65!! Works well with networking with Windows 10 also. Even works with my older Pixma printer. Very easy to exit out of S mode and use whatever apps you want.

    I purchased this product for a great price, and I am not disappointed. When I open this laptop, it is on immediately. I don't have to look for any power button. The graphics video is amazing. When I add more memory, Lenovo Laptop works even better.

    The Lenovo Ideapad 1i 14.0 HD Laptop Celeron N4020 is an excellent computer. The screen is large enough and clear enough to see text or pictures. I would recommend this computer to anyone who wants a basic, inexpensive computer.

    For $100 you’re obviously not going to get much performance, but this computer is reasonably well build and after installing Lubuntu it is great for general schoolwork.

    Lenovo Ideapad 1 is a budget laptop winner

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I was looking for a budget laptop that I could use for e-mail, web surfing, light gaming, and streaming. At $99 pricing during a Black Friday style sale, this checked all the boxes. I've had the laptop for almost a week now, and I have to say Lenovo nailed it. Setting reasonable expectations for the price point, I am amazed at how well this laptop performs. I have it running Win 11 (not S mode) and the performance is really good. Running MS Office and several streaming apps with no issues. It's a light-weight plastic body, with a solid keyboard and trackpad. It's not gonna survive a 100 foot drop but it's more than durable enough for everyday, typical handling. Display and web camera are good, again considering the price point. Internal storage is a little light at 64GB, but the SD slot gives you an option for more storage. The 4GB of RAM is adequate for the light demand workload. HDMI, USB, and headphone jacks provide versatile connection capability. No USB charging (dedicated OEM charger), finger print reader, touch screen, or facial recognition, but those are features that I am willing to trade off for the pricing. If you are looking for capable laptop and a good price (great if you catch a good sale), I strongly recommend the Lenovo IdeaPad 1,

    I bought this $250 retail laptop for $100. While it doesn't have all the bells and whistles of more expensive laptops, it works just fine for everything I do. I'd like to point out that I do not use it for video streaming, video editing, photo editing or online gaming, so I can't comment on how this laptop works for doing those things.
