We have had this computer for less than a year. While using it, it suddenly got extremely hot and shut down. Now it appears to have melted where the power adapter connects to the computer. We are using the original adapter it came with.

Had to send to Lenovo for busted screen. Showed a line and went 1/2 black over the coarse of next 2 days. . Didn’t even make it 6 mo.

The 11th gen i5 processor with 4 cores and 8 threads is powerful enough to do all of my multimedia production (Photoshops and movie editing) especially as I added 16GB RAM to the open memory slot, making it 24GB in total. I haven't experienced any lags. This laptop with Intel® Iris® Xe Graphics GPU does a better job with graphics (video playing, video previews during editing, etc.) than my previous laptop with Intel UHD Graphics GPU. Touch screen comes in handy on occasions. The keyboard and the body are all plastic and I prefer the metal build on my older Lenovo laptop, but because of the plastic materials this laptop is light weight, which is nice. This laptop performs better than the laptops in the same price range with the 12 gen i3 processor. And it outperforms my older Lenovo from 2017. I absolutely recommend it.

this computer gave out after almost the one year mark it worked fine until it didn’t

This is not a powerhouse machine, nor a high-end gamer's delight. If you buy it expecting either of those things, you will be disappointed. That being said, it has a decently fast CPU, 8 gigs of RAM, a 512GB SSD (really the minimum size I'd recommend these days - you don't want to have to delete files or uninstall software every time there's a Windows update), a nice screen, and a comfortable keyboard with a 10-key numeric keypad. The screen is a comfortable size for mobile work, while the machine is still a manageable weight. Word, Excel, Chrome, and Foxit Reader all load quickly, and (assuming you don't load it down with bloatware) Windows boots up in about ten seconds. In short, this is a really nice business laptop, and the price is good. I've bought two of this model so far for clients, and they're both happy.

The price point to performance ratio on this laptop makes this laptop worth every dollar spent. I got this for my dad on sale and was not disappointed when I started setting it up. Did not expect a touchscreen display, it’s responsive too. Enough ram to run windows 11 efficiently and multitask. Great battery life and size, it’s also light weight as well.

I initially picked this to replace my aging Surface 3 (surprising its lasted this long) and had to do my initial research on the capabilities of this laptop. Price wise was just at what I wanted (or could only) to buy this. Other options was a HP Pavilion or a cheaper Chromebook build but I wasn't a big fan of those. Just wanted to stick to a Windows OS and this having an 11 version 64 bit (with the S mode built which I disabled), I knew I could work well with this. Good screen size and resolution, nice speakers, just enough outputs for what I need, and responsive touchscreen too. Big deal breaker was the keyboard was not backlit (my old Surface 3 with keyboard cover did!) but I didn't want it to hinder me from getting it. Performance wise I would say it can stack well with higher processing models keeping in mind that I saw this as my value budget build. The i5 is an 11th gen which is a couple years old but I say its still comparable. RAM is 8GB standard (with 4GB soldered) so one of the first things I did after a month owning this is bump it up to 16GB with another 8GB. Made a difference. Probably next is go 2TB on the SSD but that's down the road. I have been doing some gaming with this and pretty surprised it can run good games on it. Don't expect to run full gas on some games (tried Ghost Recon Wildlands and it staggers). If you're looking for a value budget laptop, I'd say this is a candidate.

I got this because I was in a pinch. I really needed a laptop that I could take around with me as I travel a lot. I especially needed one with an SD card slot (I work with photos, videos and audio a lot). Here are the reasons I think this was good. The goods: This fit all those needs. The price was well within reach of my budget, and the size was not too small that I have enough screen real estate to work on projects. But also not too big that I would need a huge backpack to carry this with. The weight is of the laptop feels good, and I say this because I’ve had several laptops in the best. Some laptops felt too light that it feels like you can break it just putting it in your bag. This laptop felt good to carry around outside the bag (with lids closed) without feeling like I might break the screen if I gripped too tight. It also felt light enough to carry in my backpack that I can still carry some gear with me and not feel like I have the weights of bricks (17.3” laptops and MbPros tend to feel like that over time). The build quality feels really solid, especially the screen lid. For a touch screen display, I was really worried it would feel cheap. But don’t let the affordable price fool you. this laptop feels good. It’s fast performance, solid build quality and all the essential port connectivities for any content creator, videographer, or producer are all here. (USB, HDMI, USB C AND SD SLOT!) Now on the bads (why I basically knocked off the 2 stars): With all the specs and memory in this laptop, you would think it can handle simple tasks really good. But beware. Maybe I have a defective one or something in this laptop just isn’t working right. The unit I bought is the i5-11th Gen. Extreme web browsing (tabs in the close 20s and multiple windows of browser) this thing will blow you away. Switching between all the tabs I needed was so smooth and so seamless I couldn’t believe this was a budget laptop. I was working on a book and doing my research hence why I needed versatility. Browsing, MS office, or Google Suites, this laptop has no issues whatsoever. I was able to do finish and publish my book with this very laptop. However… this is where I got very disappointed. Office tasks and other administrative work can breeze through. But when it comes to creative work…be prepared to pull a few hairs off your scalp. I connected an external HDD to view my recorded videos from my DSLR. Mind you… I’m just watching the clips to see which takes I needed to use. This laptop could NOT, and I mean CANNOT play any video without freezing or stutttering and replaying the first minute over and over. I have tried it multiple times with an SD or my external drive. I tried to download the files on the local drive (it’s got 512gb sure) but darn files took almost half a day to finish downloading from my external HDD. I then tried to download 5 short videos (about 8gb total) from my SD card. It took 2hrs to download 3 videos, and eventually told me there was a problem and could not continue with the download. I gave up and just cancelled. I figured, if this laptop has problems trying to play videos editing would probably give me a coronary. Ok, for the price, maybe videos are out of it’s capabilities (this is just trying to play the videos from Media Player and when that didn’t work I tried VLC but same issue). Ok, no videos. By the way, Youtube is fine. The only problem I have so far is trying to play a video from the local machine and not streaming. This happens even when I have no other apps open and just the media player, trying to play 1 video. So I moved on. I needed to edit my audio project for my voice over. Simple Reaper, with the shortef 10 second mono track. I was able to record with no problems. But editing, oh boy. The first second starts to play. And then audio just drops. No reason that I have been able to figure out. I save my project and restart the laptop. I check to see if there are any updates. Nope, I’m updated all the way. After restarting, I open the file again… this time, no audio whatso ever. Yes, I checked to make sure all connections are plugged in right, audio interface is on, output monitoring level is at 70%…i should hearing something if not getting deaf. I check to see if any other programs have sound. Sure enough, everything else is working except the audio file I am trying to edit. Verdict, this laptop is good just not well equipped to handle anything more than just streaming videos, or word documents and doing some heavy research. I know all the ports it has is just so tempting because they are so widely used by creators. But this (or at least mu laptop) just can’t handle it I think. Battery life is hit or miss. Full charge sometimes will say 7+hrs and sometimes will say 4hrs. I’m sure it calculates based on what you currently have open though.

I purchased this computer 2 months ago, and I must say that I am extremely satisfied with my choice. This computer offers an exceptional combination of features that make it a fantastic purchase. The resolution of this computer is truly remarkable. Whether I'm working on spreadsheets, watching movies, or browsing the web, the clarity and sharpness of the display are outstanding. Another standout feature is its practicality; It's incredibly user-friendly, and I appreciate how seamlessly it integrates into my daily tasks. The keyboard and touchpad are comfortable to use. Additionally, the overall design is sleek and modern, which adds to its practicality and aesthetics. What's even more impressive is the price point of this computer. It offers an excellent value for the performance and features it provides. I feel like I got a great deal. I couldn't be happier with my choice, it has exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone in search of a reliable and affordable computer.

A caveat--this one was a replacement of the same laptop I bought two weeks previously, which after about a week refused to charge the battery beyond 60%. I loved that one for a week, and then... However, I LOVE the replacement. It is super-fast, lightweight, and seems quite sturdy. I have installed applications on it (got rid of S mode right away) that were molasses-like on my old laptop, and they are snappy and responsive now (especially an image-editing app and an advanced text editor). Ubuntu/WSL works a champ on this machine. Copying over lots of data files also went very quickly. This is the first touchscreen PC I've owned, and, while I don't use that feature a lot, it helps with webpages that aren't so well designed, and it's nice for zooming in on detail in images. The battery life has been great, though I think about six hours is the longest I've gone without recharging. I've had the (replacement) laptop about three weeks now, and love it!

I purchased this laptop last week. So far, so good. It does what it is supposed to do. It's fast and runs smoothly. That said, I will say that I do not like the Microsoft S Mode. It will block any third-party app that you try to install, i.e., it has to be a MS App from their app store. So, this laptop came with a free limited time subscription to Trend security. Trend is not a MS product, so, you can't download it. When I made this purchase, I asked the salesperson at my local BB store if I could use their proprietary security suite, WebRoot, which I use on all my other computers and I was assured that I could. NOPE. Not MS approved, can't download. Dear BestBuy, please educate your folks on what this S Mode is and its limitations so that they can provide your customers with correct information. I know I can turn it off, but so far I haven't wanted to do that since once you turn off S Mode, you can't go back to it. Another example of S Mode interference is with a Lenovo procuct, Lenovo Service Bridge, which is a diagnostic suite provided by the manufacturer of this laptop. Tried today to install, but again, NO CAN DO, NOT MICROSOFT. One more thing, this did come with McAffee security which I immediately uninstalled. I've always found this to be one of the worst antivirus programs, but that's just my opinion. So bottom line, good laptop, lousy S Mode.

Having recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad from Best Buy, I've been absolutely thrilled with its performance over the past few weeks. From its sleek design to its powerhouse capabilities, this laptop has quickly become an indispensable part of my daily life, both for work and entertainment. One of the most striking features of the IdeaPad is its remarkable ease of use. Lenovo has clearly put a lot of thought into the user experience, making navigation both intuitive and enjoyable. Whether I'm browsing the web, managing documents, or indulging in multimedia, everything feels smooth and responsive. But where the IdeaPad truly shines is its exceptional ability to handle a multitude of open tabs without breaking a sweat. As someone who often finds themselves juggling between numerous tasks and applications simultaneously, this robust performance has been a game-changer. It allows me to work more efficiently, without the frustration of lag or crashes that I've experienced with other laptops. The keyboard design also deserves special mention. Typing on the IdeaPad is a sheer pleasure, thanks to the well-thought-out layout and tactile feedback of the keys. It's clear that Lenovo has paid close attention to the details, creating a typing experience that's both comfortable and accurate, which is greatly appreciated during long work sessions. However, no device is without its quirks, and the IdeaPad is no exception. I've noticed that some applications don't download properly or at all, likely due to certain restrictions. While this can be a minor inconvenience, it's a small hiccup in what has otherwise been a flawless experience. In conclusion, the Lenovo IdeaPad has exceeded my expectations in almost every way. Its stellar performance, combined with user-friendly design and robust multitasking capabilities, makes it a standout choice for anyone in the market for a reliable and efficient laptop. If you're looking for a device that can keep up with the demands of both work and play, the Lenovo IdeaPad is definitely worth considering.
