    I purchased this computer for online college because my other computer did not meet the requirements for the testing center. When I got it home and unboxed it, I plugged it in, and it immediately started up and went to setting itself up. This is one of the most straightforward computers I've ever had to set up. I have had the computer for a few weeks now and have enjoyed working with it; the display is crisp and bright, and the keyboard and mouse are sensitive enough that you don't have to have a heavy hand to type or move the cursor around the screen. The battery life is surprisingly long. I have used the computer every day except for the last three days since I purchased it, and I've only had to recharge it once since the first initial charge.

    I’ve been using the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 15.6" Touchscreen Laptop for over six months now, and I can confidently say it has exceeded every expectation I had. From performance to portability, this laptop delivers excellence in every area that matters. **Performance**: Equipped with a 12th Gen Intel Core i5 and 8GB RAM, it runs buttery smooth—even when multitasking between Zoom calls, Chrome tabs, Excel, and streaming. It powers through daily tasks without hesitation and handles light photo editing and programming without breaking a sweat. **Display & Touchscreen**: The Full HD touchscreen is bright, responsive, and vibrant. Whether I’m working on documents, watching HD movies, or simply browsing, the clarity and touch accuracy feel premium for this price point. **Audio & Media**: The Dolby Audio speakers surprised me with their clarity and richness. Music, podcasts, and video calls sound clear even without headphones. **Speed & Storage**: The 512GB SSD offers lightning-fast boot times and ample storage for all my files. It starts up in seconds, and file transfers are quick and seamless. **Battery Life**: With up to 11 hours of battery life, I can go through most of my workday unplugged. It’s incredibly efficient, which is perfect for someone like me who’s constantly on the move. **Build & Design**: It’s slim, lightweight, and has a sleek Abyss Blue finish that stands out in a crowd. It feels sturdy in hand yet light enough to carry daily in my backpack. **Final Verdict**: The Lenovo IdeaPad 1i isn’t just a good budget laptop—it’s a fantastic all-around machine that punches well above its weight class. After six months of daily use, I can say this laptop is fast, reliable, and built to perform. Whether you’re a student, a remote worker, or just need a dependable everyday laptop, this is the one to get.

    This is my first laptop I ever bought. I needed it for school for online college classes. My friend told me make sure I get one with a i5 Intel processor and I'm glad I did. It is so fast so responsive. The touch is smooth and Lenovo support is always there for you. When you need them. It comes with a 10-month warranty but you can extend it with geek squad. This thing is great. I will be buying Lenovo for a while now. Just wish that I had gotten one made in 2025. This one was manufactured in 2024 but I'm just nitpicking. It's a beautiful machine!

    Loving it.. I purchase this laptop because was looking for something that I can take on the go, since have a desktop which I cant do. It works perfectly for my daily needs!! The only downside of it,is that it doesnt have the keyboard ilumination,but its something that I can live with and for the price I pay, no worries here.

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

    I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Laptop from Best Buy, and I must say, it has been a pleasant experience overall. Here are my thoughts on this laptop: **Pros:** 1. **Touchscreen:** The touchscreen feature is highly responsive and convenient for navigating through applications and documents. 2. **Performance:** Equipped with a reliable processor and ample memory, this laptop handles multitasking efficiently without lag. 3. **Storage:** The 512GB SSD offers plenty of storage space and quick data access. 4. **Affordability:** This laptop provides great value for its price, offering essential features without breaking the bank. 5. **Easy Setup:** The initial setup process is simple and user-friendly. **Cons:** 1. **Battery Life:** The battery life is average and may require frequent charging during prolonged use. 2. **Build Quality:** While satisfactory, the build quality doesn't feel as premium as some higher-end laptops, particularly the trackpad. 3. **Sound Quality:** The sound quality is a bit lacking, with tinny audio and low volume, making it less ideal for media consumption. **Overall Impression:** The Lenovo IdeaPad 1i 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Laptop is a solid choice for those seeking a budget-friendly laptop with good performance and a responsive touchscreen. Despite minor drawbacks like battery life and sound quality, it offers excellent value for everyday use.

    Light weight, sleek, easy to use, it doesn’t have fingerprint recognition for password but that doesn’t isn’t much of a big deal for me. The screen makes me think of a kindle a little in its dimmest settings. Very matte screen unlike other typical laptops. The touch screen is really smooth and accurate. Purchased for basic work purposes

    This laptop is great for school and business needs. I myself am a graphic designer and the laptop's i5 core runs great for this purpose. I can also hold multiple tabs and applications open at once. The display is great, but my one complaint is the battery life being quite low but other than that I would highly recommend.

    Great value for the price and the purposes I needed it for. The integrated graphics and i5 processor work great for older games or newer ones on low graphics settings. Battery life is subpar however and the need to press function in order to use the Fx keys can be annoying.

      Hey DeniseR, thanks for choosing Lenovo!

      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 users utilize 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). Users 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.
