    Warning this laptop does not have full windows 11. If you download a application you cannot install it without turing s mode off. You can install apps through Microsoft store. If your needs are web browsing this is for you. Also in store label is small i missed the part about the type c port is data only. You cannot charge or display video through port. It does have a hdmi for video. Honestly its really good price but its a glorified chromebook and you might have better results with that. Returned.

    I returned this computer. It comes in S mode which limits what you can add to the computer. You can take it out ofS mode but then it really slows down.

    This is the worse computer I have ever used. The price was fine but the performance is terrible. It freezes up easily. Its always disconnecting from the internet. It often can not even find internet. It take rebooting to even get some of the windows to load completely. Its been a total waste of money. I do not recommend it at all. I can't afford to go back to a different brand.

    A couple glaring issues, very low volume and not lighted keys. I can live without lighted keys but the low volume is bad. Will see if Best Buy really cares, will they respond.

      Hi xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx, thanks for choosing Lenovo! Regarding the low volume, if you're sure that the system volume is set as high as it can go, yet the sound is still low, check the app you're using to see if it has set volume controls. If both volume settings are set to high, yet it falls below your satisfaction, this may be a limitation in hardware for you. Feel free to reach out to Lenovo Support for assistance if need be. We appreciate you sharing your perspective and feedback with us. Lenovo
