      Hello,
      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you ran into an issue. We strive to provide the best experience possible. We're disappointed and apologize that this wasn't the case for you, and we'd like to work with you to try to improve your experience.

      To start, regarding your issue with battery life–there are many variables that contribute to shorter battery life. Thankfully, many of those variables can be adjusted. By default, the system will tend to give more speed when needed, which can sacrifice battery life. If you want to squeeze out more battery life, we recommend utilizing the Lenovo Vantage application that is preinstalled to adjust settings related to power and battery performance (to access relevant settings, open Vantage > Device Settings > Power). You can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both worlds.

      Please don't hesitate to let us know what else we can do to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    I was looking for an inexpensive music production pc. 8gb today is just not enough to run Windows 11 much less creative software. Can it do it? Yes. I was able to get 16 tracks comfortably with external audio device BUT the internal sound system while being on the go is bad. The speakers are not a little bad, the speakers are a whole lot bad. I put another 8gb of memory into the system and was able to get more track count. For the empty space inside the chassis, this company could put better speakers in place. ALSO, I installed Ubuntu Linux 24.04 on this system. This was an amazing system for Linux. Even the wi-fi card was picked up. If the speakers had been better, this could have been a keeper.

    The specs of this laptop are average level, which is okay for daily small tasks. But the restrictions they have on windows 11, which they term as safe mode doesn’t allow to install any outside applications is a deal breaker. But other than that, this laptop is a bang for buck.

      Hi, thanks for choosing Lenovo! Regarding Windows 11 Home in S mode, while it is a more secure version that prevents running unverified software, you can switch out of S mode to standard Windows 11 Home. Hopefully you still have your IdeaPad, in which you can visit this link to learn how to switch Windows versions: (https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/windows-10-and-windows-11-in-s-mode-faq-851057d6-1ee9-b9e5-c30b-93baebeebc85).

    low fan that can't be adjusted

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

    The fan speed can not be adjusted. It's bios locked somehow, no way to do it. The laptop runs cool but the fan is high and then there is an even higher speed where it gets a little hot, when the fan makes some annoying machine noise. I am in the processing of sending it back to get it fixed. I suspect this laptop can run on very low fan speeds and be almost silent but they won't let this happen to gate off a more expensive model. Hilariously my legion 7i running exclusively on rtx 4070 is quieter than this thing while web surfing. My old dell was virtually silent. I did not realize how valuable that was until I got this laptop.

      Hey Dave,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you ran into an issue with your IdeaPad 1i. We wish to provide the best experience possible, so if you'd like to work with us, we’d like to work with you to address these points and improve your experience with your IdeaPad.

      First, entry level IdeaPad systems like this model usually don't feature fan speed or fan curve settings due to the clientele of users for these systems. One way to quickly lower fan speeds is to use the shortcut Fn + Q to toggle programmed thermal profiles for the system, including a cool/battery saving mode that lowers fan speed, thus lower fan noise.

      We hope that the information shared helps provide some insight and understanding that may improve your sentiments on the system.

      We look forward to hearing more from you if there's more to share, so please don’t hesitate to leave us a note in the Q&A section of this product page to continue this discussion.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo
