Customers are saying

Users also appreciate its ease of use, good battery life, and slim, lightweight design. The 8GB of RAM is adequate for most users, while the screen size is suitable for various needs. However, some users may find the memory limiting if they use many browser tabs.

    Decent for price, but Wi-Fi turns off frequently

    The good: it's a decent laptop for the price and it boots up quickly. The not-so-good: While the specifications say the battery life is "(up to) 10 hours", I have never had it go for longer than two hours tops before it needs a charge. Also, as many others have noted - the Wi-Fi randomly shuts off quite often, and there seems to be no way to turn it back on without restarting the computer. At first I thought there was some 'wi-fi on/off' key I kept bumping accidentally, but it appears this is a common flaw with this computer.

      Hi comedyguy13,

      We're sorry to hear that your experience with your IdeaPad 1i has been poor in some regards. We apologize for any disappointment and inconvenience that this may have caused you, and we'd like to work with you to try to improve this experience.

      To start with connectivity, we recommend ensuring you have the latest software by checking for updates, as this could correct the issue. To do so, first, open the Settings app > Select the Windows update tab > Select the Check for updates button and ensure all available updates are installed successfully.

      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.

      We hope that this information helps you. Please update us when you can regarding this and feel free to reach out to us with any questions or should you need further assistance.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    The battery life isn't great, i maybe get 3-4 hours from a charge and it would be better if it lasted longer. Speeds isnt so bad for what I am using it for.
