    Best bang for the buck, great for coding, browsing

    I honestly wasn’t expecting much at this price point, but this Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i blew me away for what it offers under $220. The 15.6" display is crisp, the keyboard feels smooth, and it boots up fast, great for web browsing, email, and even light development work. I use VS Code, Supabase, and GitHub on it with no issues. The Intel i3-N305 chip isn’t built for gaming or AI video rendering, but for coding projects, cloud apps, and multitasking with a few browser tabs, it's handled everything I’ve thrown at it. The 8GB of RAM is enough if you don’t go crazy with Chrome tabs, and storage can be tight at 128GB, but I fixed that with a cheap external SSD. Battery life’s been solid (averaging 6–7 hours for me), and it runs cool and quiet. Lightweight too, perfect for throwing in a backpack. If you're a student, freelancer, or hustler building apps or side gigs, this thing gets it done. I’d buy it again in a heartbeat at this price.

    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!

    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

    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 purchased an open box Blue 15.6" Ideapad, 8 gig ram, 512 gig ssd memory laptop. It came in a box with all the parts & small get started instructions. Online purchase and pickup was easy & pleasant. It works great for what I need it for ( I'm not a gamer). I use it mainly for documents (PDF, ODF), Zoom meetings (I have done 1 meeting so far & it worked great), messanger, internet browsing, etc. The only downside was opting out of Microsoft S mode (I had to do it twice for it to work), although I think that is a Microsoft issue. I would recommend it and possibly buy another lenovo.

    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.

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.
