    This laptop is effective for the price and the operating system runs smoothly. It doesn’t have backlight and the screen projection and clarity is lacking and is similar to cheaper model laptops. It’ll get the job done and it’s budget friendly.

    I was looking for a very reasonable laptop that still had some decent specs. The laptop was for an older person that does not need a high end laptop. This one fit the bill. Great price and when setting it up iy performed better than expected. Way better. would have liked a little larger SSD but they only had half that much in data. So far a great purchase.

    You Can't Go Wrong For The Price!

    I was nervous about buying this laptop given the price. But after reading the reviews and getting it home, it has been great! Sure, it's not NORAD, but for operations and other functions, it's great! My only regret is that the keyboard is not backlit. But it's not a dealbreaker for the price! Got it on a Black Friday promotion for $299!

    Excellent computer for the price range. This Lenovo boots up incredibly fast and does not come with the typical bloat ware that Dell or HP computers are loaded with. This does have Windows 11 and there are some programs that can be disabled or removed for even faster performance. The IdeaPad is lighter than one would expect and the keyboard is spaced out quite well. The USB ports are a bit tough to plug/unplug out of and the lack of an ethernet port does require you purchase an adapter. The battery life is excellent and the display is normal or average, with speakers sounding really good. Highly recommend this for college students or those who not need this for gaming or heavy video/picture editing.

    I heard great things about lenovo laptops. Especially the gaming abilities. I needed a new laptop for college and i decided to see what it was like for myself. I love it. I can customize the display screens and even connect my samsung phone to the computer. I love music and my spotify sound quality is amazing on here. The only issue i have is the battery life. I use my laptop everyday of the week and i keep it plugged up to ensure it is charged. However, unplugged i only get 3-6 hours before needing to plug it in again. Even with that issue i love it and would recommend the laptop as it is otherwise perfect.

    The Lenovo IdeaPad 1i has worked very well so far. I purchased it for my daughter to use in middle school, and it has been a great fit for her needs. The laptop is sturdy, runs smoothly, and handles schoolwork, homework, and online learning without any issues. The screen size is nice, performance is fast, and it feels reliable for everyday use. Overall, I’m very happy with this purchase and would recommend it as a solid laptop for students.

    The Lenovo Ideapad 1i 15.6" i5-1335U laptop with 16GB of RAM and a 256GB SSD is an excellent entry-level option if you're looking for a well-rounded laptop for work, studies, and everyday use. It offers power, battery life, and smooth performance, with an unusual amount of RAM for this segment that makes it stand out from the competition. On the other hand, its screen and storage capacity indicate that it's not designed for heavy professional workloads or intensive multimedia editing.

    This Lenovo laptop is a fantastic bang-for-buck PC as a BF/cyber deal. Specs are great at the sale price point, still good at the regular price point. I've had a previous Lenovo for many years that still runs fine with Win 10. I expect the same longevity out of this guy. The screen size, resolution, CPU, RAM are all spec'd out fine for remote work, entertainment, light gaming. That is all I'm asking this laptop to do. Very satisfied with my purchase. Highly recommend.

    Awsome computer that is wicked fast, great construction and feel along with a super long lasting battery for running multiple large programs and watching videos at once. Planned on buying another $1800 hp zbook and am absolutely delighted to say I saved well over $1000 and got just as good of a computer.

    This laptop has been fast and reliable for everyday use. I mainly use it for work and video calls, and it handles both smoothly. The system feels up to date, and overall performance has been solid. The only drawback is the display—while it’s advertised as Full HD, it looks a bit foggy or muted, which could be intentional for eye comfort but still makes the screen seem less sharp. Aside from that, it’s been easy to use and a dependable device for daily tasks.

    I bought this laptop on sale, and for the price, it was definitely a good deal. My mom needed a new laptop for everyday tasks like browsing, emailing, and watching videos, and the specs matched exactly what she needed. It runs smoothly, starts up quickly, and handles her daily use without any issues. Overall, a solid purchase and great value, especially at the sale price.
