    Reliable + Affordable Laptop

    I had to trade my macbook in due to overheating and low storage. This laptop has been nothing but great especially for its price! It is quite large but can still fit in my backpack & the surfaces on the outside of the laptop are prone to scratches if handled roughly but as far as speed and storage, it’s a great choice.

    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.

    Outstanding for the price range!

    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.

    Lenovo - IdeaPad 1i 15.6" Full HD Laptop

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

    I’m genuinely impressed with my new Lenovo. The screen size is perfect for everyday use, and I only need to connect an external monitor when I’m working on large spreadsheets. Performance has been excellent. It handles multiple tasks at once without any lag or slowdown, which makes working, browsing, and streaming feel effortless. The price was almost too good to be true considering the level of performance it delivers. Battery life is another standout — I can leave it in Sleep Mode for days and it barely drains. Overall, I’m extremely happy with this laptop. It’s reliable, efficient, and a fantastic value.

    Really pleased with how smooth this laptop feels for everyday tasks. The i5 chip and 16GB of memory keep things quick whether I'm juggling tabs or hopping on video calls. The screen looks crisp and the lightweight design makes it easy to carry around. Storage is enough for school files and work docs, so it checks all the boxes for a solid daily driver.

    You Can't Go Wrong For The Price!

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

    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!

    I bought this during BF & Cyber Monday time range. It’s a much faster laptop than my 2016 HP. I am disappointed tha I can’t seem to link my in home network external hard drive like I can my old lap top. I may buy a version with higher eternal memory. Display is great internal battery is adequate and the sleekness is wonderful.

    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.
