    Went in for a deal, left with this basic Ideapad after the hard sell. It’s fine—if “fine” means sluggish performance, a dim touchscreen, and buyer’s remorse. Next time, just let me buy the actual sale item instead of the upsell special.

    Quick and easy setup and operational efficiency! I wish the battery life were longer, but that is my only issue. I recommend this to anyone needing an efficient yet affordable laptop!

    Nice entry level laptop. I didn't care for the Windows 11 Home operating system as it was quirky. Took awhile to figure out how to work around it when adding apps outside the App store. Otherwise, can't beat the price and Lenovo.

    I needed an inexpensive platform for lightweight Amateur Radio usage. I'm not sure this was the best choice. On the plus side, it was easy and cheap to add 16 gigs of memory and a 1TB HD. It comes with little in the realm of bloatware, outside of McAfee which is the first thing to uninstall anyways. The big silver surface of the lid is fairly boring but lends itself to a skin if that bothers you. On the downside, the keyboard is mushy and gives little feedback, and generally unpleasant to type on with its shift to the left to accommodate the unneeded number pad. The sound is truly abysmal: if you need to hear outside a quiet room, you'll need a bluetooth speaker. The Lenovo recovery media build is just awful, so make sure you build the recovery with the Windows tool instead. Six hours of battery life is the biggest lie, it is more like 2 to 3 hours at even the lightest usage. And considering the battery life, the worst part is the inclusion of 2 USB ports, but neither can be used to charge: you're stuck with an old fashioned barrel connector, which in 2024, is an absolute joke.
