Great Lap price speed features and size.The lap is great lghtweight large screen easy to use keyboard.Better than expected!!!!

Bought this laptop on sale for about $330.00 plus tax as a replacement for my 2015 HP laptop. Very pleased with its performance and value. Specifically, it boots up more quickly than any pc I’ve had going back to the late 90s desktops. It didn’t have any annoying software that pops up automatically and slows down operations. The screen displays clearly at multiple angles. My uses are very basic and since I don’t do gaming or significant video editing, I can’t attest good or bad as to processor speed, but it’s super for my needs. It doesn’t have a huge hard drive by today’s standards (700 GB maybe ?) so that’s something a potential buyer needs to consider. It’s usually plugged in to an AC outlet, but I have used it to stream video on battery power for over five hours no problem. The keyboard has a nice feel considering its thin design. It’s my first touchscreen laptop, which I only use occasionally as I prefer the mouse, but it does work well and is probably standard these days. I struggled a bit getting Windows 11 to organize folders and files in a way that makes sense to me and also utilizes the 5GB Microsoft OneDrive cloud storage for my most important files.

I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Laptop, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my choice. This sleek device in Abyss Blue not only looks stunning but also delivers exceptional performance for its price point. The Intel Core i5 processor paired with 8GB of memory ensures smooth multitasking and quick responsiveness, whether I'm working on spreadsheets, browsing the web, or streaming videos. The 512GB SSD storage is a game-changer—it provides ample space for my files while significantly improving boot-up and load times. The 15.6" FHD touchscreen display is vibrant and clear, making it perfect for both work and entertainment. The touchscreen functionality is an added bonus, offering an intuitive and modern user experience. The laptop feels lightweight and portable, making it easy to carry to meetings or use on the go. Lenovo has done an excellent job balancing performance, design, and affordability with this model. Whether you're a student, professional, or just need a reliable laptop for daily use, the IdeaPad 1i is an outstanding choice. Overall, I am thrilled with this purchase, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a high-quality laptop without breaking the bank. Thank you, Best Buy, for the fast delivery and great customer service!

It had everything I needed for work (mostly spreadsheets and word processing). Fast, plenty of memory... No extra frills and I didn't want them.

Extremely happy with the purchase :) Sleek design, touch screen, economical Great Battery life Boots up fast Great performance- I can easily multi-task with ease Display is crisp, vibrant

This laptop is frequently on sale for under $350 and is an amazing value. I've owned a number of laptops and too many desktops to remember. This is a winner. Processor, storage capacity, touch screen, are all high end in this price range. I added another 8 gb of matching-spec memory for under $20 once I got the laptop. It's a bit tricky getting the back off, but once off inserting the memory is very simple. Slight negatives are that keys aren't backlit and the display could be a bit brighter, but these aren't serious drawbacks. Battery life also isn't the best (4 or 5 hours), but I don't need more than that.

I really like the simplicity of this lenovo laptop. Its very easy to use, significantly lighter weight than both the macbook and the asus “thin and light” notebook (granted that one as a low power but still discrete GPU being a RTX 3050 and core ultra i7). I much prefer the numerical keypad on this lenovo compared to the asus as it is the correct layout and everywhere is where it should be. The keyboard on this one is also pretty good, I actually enjoy using the silent characteristics of this one compared to what I am used to. Long story short this laptop is just straight A, B to C. Work, surf, and some very light (old) gaming. Exactly what I was looking for in a budget SECONDARY laptop. I do think I am 75% on keeping this one and only about 50% on keeping the asus vivobook. I still have about 10 days left to decide but the more I use them separately, the more I want to prolong it. I need to get rid of one of these asap as that high credit utilization is not sitting well with me at all. Few minutes later after writing up above, I noticed the battery level is already at 51% remaining!? Again, disheartened as this is supposed to be a low power consuming i5 chip that is operating in balanced mode at this time and yet I haven’t done much on it except watch a 10 minute youtube video and type out the prior paragraph. I now put into question as to how the battery will hold up overtime since it has now been another 2 minutes and is now at 50% remaining. Current brightness setting is 75 and nothing else is going on in the background (music or downloads). Just 2 chrome tabs. Upon checking task manager, cpu usage is hovering around 5% - 19% with ram for some reason at 5.7GB in use out of 7.7GB available. It's brand new and it is already showing signs of longevity struggle - THAT or I’ve been spoiled with the insane battery life of the late 2023/early 2024 m3 pro macbook pro multi day battery life capabilities. Fug, now I’m going back to thoughts of just returning both laptops and sticking to the macbook. (another 3 minutes later, now at 48% battery life remaining). I am really trying to make this one the best chance, I ordered tools and an additional 8gb ram stick in order to double the speed / performance on this cheaper laptop. I am at 75% going to keep this one with the asus one is at a lower 50%. The battery on both still sucks though, it has the similar feeling that people have with an electric vehicle: range anxiety. If I'm knowingly going to be at a location that will allow me to use my laptop for over +3 hours, I will most likely bring the charger. 100% from about 30 minutes ago, and with 96% now remaining. ^ Went to do some stuff with the lid closed at 96%, battery life is now 92% and I have no idea why. Played for about 40 minutes and the remaining battery is now 54% at 60 brightness. 7:13pm Currently at 38% at 60 brightness. 10:58pm Using it most of the day, plugging in now at 5% battery remaining at 75 brightness. It has been decided, I am returning this thin and light notebook. The score I would give this one is a strong 7 out of 10. The only reason I am certain to return it is the fact that I actually found a better machine that was exactly at my maximum comfortable price point at $500. The new laptop I will be keeping is significantly better in both the CPU and GPU side of specifications along with a better DDR RAM set up. There were a few other great features that this other laptop in topic delivered where it would be insane for the same price as this still great machine. At $320 brand new, I don’t even regret my time with this Lenovo Ideapad 1i. It’s easily my 2nd pic after the 10 days of testing that I’ve been doing with the 3 laptops that were in my possession. Even as I type on this keyboard, it brings back reminders on how much I was impressed for what I am getting for the money spent. If the HP Victus proves me wrong in terms of its reliability and capability I have absolutely no doubt this specific Lenovo will be what I will go for almost immediately. It is bitter sweet but knowing that a really good budget windows laptop exists for future consideration makes me feel confident in my decision for the time being. Returned as of 3/4/25

I bought this laptop for my 74 year old wife. She says she loves it. I on the other hand prefer my PC with the older style keyboard. She says the keyboard on this laptop is easy to use, and the screen is clear and bright, and its everything she wanted in a laptop. The battery seems to stay charged well.

We’ve had this Lenovo IdeaPad 1i for a couple of months now, and it’s been working great for my kid’s school needs, I would also would have bought it for myself if I needed it. It’s used daily—carried back and forth, opened and closed constantly—and it’s held up really well. The touchscreen is smooth and responsive, which makes navigating assignments and apps super easy. The computer itself is fast, boots up quickly, and handles schoolwork, browsing, and video calls without any lag. We got it in a Deal of The Day for a very good price, and it’s a solid performer. I’m impressed with how reliable it’s been, especially considering how much use it gets. Definitely a good choice for students or anyone needing a dependable laptop for everyday tasks.

This is a great computer and got it for a great price on sale. The laptop is lightweight. Very fast with the i5 processor. The anti-glare screen is nice.

The Lenovo was out of the box ready. It is lightweight, easy to type on and functions speedily. Set up time was minimal. Only downside is the speaker sound quality. Otherwise highly recommend.

I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 15.6" laptop, and it’s been a great choice for my everyday needs. The processor and RAM handle tasks like browsing and streaming smoothly, while the 512GB SSD provides fast storage. The FHD touchscreen is bright and responsive, which makes navigating apps easier and more enjoyable. I love the sleek design. Overall, it’s a fantastic laptop for the price and perfect for students or anyone needing a reliable, affordable device.

The computer is very good, the processor is good, the touchscreen is spectacular because the reaction is instantly, the battery very good. The better was that send me the computer in 4 days. Grat for me, Perfect computer. I don’t have problem with nothing is very good.

This light weight laptop is so amazing! It is fast and easy to add programs. Even an old lady like me can operate it with ease!

Great laptop for the price I paid! Works super fast, with a very clear picture. The touch screen feature is really cool & easy to use.

So far so good. During my career, I was issued a Lenovo for documentation and CE's. I was so used to the Lenovo, that when it came time to invest into a laptop, it was a no brainer. Great laptop and its functions are exactly what I needed it for. I would recommend it to anyone who is looking for a small, easy to navigate laptop. It does functions that my Chromebook did not have the capability to do.

This has been a great laptop for me. The touchpad is a little sensitive, but other than that I have had zero issues with this laptop. The performance is great and the screen is nice and bright.

Computer is great easy to setup speed is good and touchscreen works great

This is a great little Windows 11 notebook computer with a touch screen display and at least 6 hours of battery life. It has 2 USB ports. It’s lightweight. It comes with Microsoft 365 available but I just use a free Office program available on internet like LibreOffice that’s compatible with the Microsoft formats for documents.

Take it from someone who knows ... I purchased one of these and I'm typing this review on it right now. I have been an Electronics Technician and Manufacturing Production Engineer since 1978. IMHO, this is THE BEST laptop FOR THE MONEY available ANYWHERE right now. At <=$350, you can't beat it! Of course there are compromises - This is NOT a $1000 laptop, so don't expect it to be. That said, the compromises are well designed and well balanced. It is a Budget laptop perfectly suited to casual home / home office use. I like it so much, I just bought another for a Christmas present for my sister. 100% recommend. And NO, I have NOT been incentivised or compensated in any way for this review. I'm just personally recommending what I think is a GREAT product for the money!
