    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 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.

    Laptop Lenovo Ideapad 1i

    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.

    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.

    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!

    Great for the money! 16gb ram is plenty for surfing and the i5 is good got office like tasks. Keyboard is solid and plastic is solid with little flex. Superior to many other brands cheaper offerings and better warranty support than most. Not as much bloatware than other brands. If you want gaming this is not for you

    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.

    I was surprised at the memory and storage for the price. So far, the laptop is a great choice for family and lite usage. Set up was pretty good, a lot of patching so the factory image is a bit behind for Win 11. Overall - this far - a good device for the price.

    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’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.
