Fastest Return EVER
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

I would recommend this to a friendGood but with restrictions
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Posted .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).

Don’t let this brand fool you
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Do not even waste your time and money on this laptop. I did my research before I even purchased this, and the reason I chose this laptop is because of the good reviews it received and so many people advised how good of a brand Lenovo was. I needed a laptop for when I’m working from home. Nothing too in depth, needed something that could handle having multiple applications and tabs open at once with decent speed. This can’t even do that. I’ve had nothing but issues with this laptop, including it freezing constantly, the screen going black while in use and not able to shut it off, and it keeps disconnecting from any WiFi I am connected to (personal & public). Lenovo tech support can’t figure out what’s wrong. I’ve had other computer experts look at it and no one can figure out why this laptop is incapable of doing laptop excepting things. And in case you were wondering, the battery life is awful! It can maybe last for 4 hours and that’s stretching it. I’d much rather go back to a MacBook and spend a mortgage payment then waste my time with this paper weight.

Posted .Hey Disneydreamer93, we're sorry to hear that you're having such trouble with your IdeaPad. To help resolve this issue, for now, we recommend following these troubleshooting steps: 1. Perform a static discharge/power cycle. To do so, first remove all cables connected to the device (power adapter, HDMI, external mouse, external keyboard, etc.). 2. Be sure device is powered off, then. press and hold the power button down for 60 seconds. When done, re-attach all cables and insert the power adapter, letting the laptop charge for a couple minutes, then power up the machine as usual. 3. Try to update the drivers on the Lenovo Support site: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/. Type the machine serial number (S/N) on the search bar. Hit enter to search the details regarding that unit. Click on the Drivers and Software tab, head to the Manual Update tab. Filter the Operating System drop-down to Windows 11 and proceed to downloading / updating the drivers. Restart your laptop when updates are done. If your issue persists after these steps, we then recommend resetting your IdeaPad. You can back up your data and try to reimage it with the original Lenovo preload via DDRS (https://support.lenovo.com/ch/en/solutions/ht103653-lenovo-digital-download-recovery-service-ddrs-download-the-files-needed-to-create-a-lenovo-usb-recovery-key). If these steps do not resolve your issue, by contacting Lenovo Support directly at this number: 855-253-6686, and sharing what you've done to resolve this, next level escalation should be available. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us, as it does not go unnoted.

Posted .Hi YAMO,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo!
Regarding what you're referring to, this is a feature called Flip to Start that is enabled by default, enabling users to startup their laptops upon opening the laptop lid.
To disable the Flip To Open feature, open the Lenovo Vantage app > select "device settings" or the gear icon on the left tab, select the "Power" tab > look for the Flip To Open setting toggle and switch it to the off position.
Please update us when you can regarding this, and we appreciate you taking the time to share this with us.

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am never buying another Lenovo again. This is my second one, and while the first was much better, this current laptop constantly gives me Wi-Fi issues. I even had them send it to the manufacturer for 2 weeks, hoping they'd fix it, but it still disconnects from Wi-Fi while I'm working. This is horrible, Best Buy!

Posted .Hey Tleslie28,
Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us.
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.
We are glad to hear that your IdeaPad 1i is otherwise working great for you.
Please feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions.
Best,
Lenovo

Poor battery life
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Don’t typically do reviews but I am very disappointed with the battery life on my first laptop. I know it’s a lower end model but it is advertised as up to 10 hours and I get 3. Just got off the phone with a Lenovo customer rep. who checked settings, ran tests and did what she could but basically said that’s what the life of that battery is.

Posted .Hi SteveY,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that the battery life you experience with your IdeaPad 1i has fallen below your expectations, and we apologize for the disappointment that this has caused you.
For context, the battery life advertised in the specifications and features sections of this product's description page is based on an industry-wide used metric determined by a third-party, MobileMark. During test like these, the conditions you may be using your IdeaPad can vary greatly depending on device settings, workload its under, and more.
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.
