Lenovo IdeaPad 1 14 Laptop, Intel Celeron N4020, 4GB RAM, 128GB Storage(64GB eMMC+64GB Micro SD), Intel UHD Graphics 600, Win 11 in S Mode, Cloud Grey

I just needed a laptop I can take with me when I travel without adding much bulk to my carry-on. I chose this one just for the ease of travel but have been impressed with all the features and performance. So far, I am very pleased with my purchase. The only issue I had was setting it up. It was very slow going and I thought I had made a mistake, but soon enough those doubts were put to rest. Definitely recommend as a second or third PC.

DO NOT BUY. The computer doesn’t have enough ram to run; literally. Although this model is described as being able to have its ram expanded, diversion that they ship out can’t be. I ordered an additional memory thinking that I could get the ram to 16 MB, but there’s only one open slot and it’s occupied by the eight meg.Because of the version of Windows and the way that it’s shipped, it takes about one minute for Chrome to open the webpage, and that goes for every single window. You decide to try to open afterwards: one minute wait for each window. Obviously, trying to use other software, practically out of the question. Unless of course, you’re willing to wait minutes for each action within that program to be carried out.I bought this months ago, and in the time since then I’ve taken it to a few different computer specialists, and they all say the same thing, this company knew it was junk when they mailed it out.DO NOT BUY.

I purchased this laptop with the 64GB hard drive for everyday web browsing, small Microsoft Office projects, and light streaming such as Netflix and Paramount as I haven’t had a PC in more than a few years and have been using my iPhone for everything and it’s nice to have a full keyboard to type and rest your wrists on.Straight out of the box this laptop was extremely slow which I expected taking the price into consideration — I was able to get everything set up in a reasonable amount of time and once I was finished with the initial set up I removed any unnecessary apps on it with one of the preinstalled apps I uninstalled being McFee Security which helped tremendously. (I feel with most budget computers you can run Windows Defender at minimum and get away with that without having the constant scans of third party security systems that slows the PC down in general.)The computer was shipped in the original box and arrived on time and in excellent/like new condition. It did need to be charged before I was able to begin the setup process. The keyboard feels nice. Display/Screen is nice. Multiple USB ports, external card slots.All in all, I am satisfied with my purchase and it meets my needs for the moment and if I decide it no longer does I am able to send it back for a refund.Great buy for the light laptop user!

Contrary to what a different reviewer said, YOU *CAN* TAKE IT OUT OF S MODE (!!!) to download non-Windows Store applications. It's just hidden, and not like the tutorials online. Here's how to do it:Click Start (blue square made out of four smaller squares)Click Settings (or search Settings from the search bar)In the Settings search bar, type "S Mode" and click on the resultClick "Turn off S Mode"It will open multiple different screens and windows after this, each asking that ask you to confirm multiple times that you want to do this.((They make it seem threatening and bad, but turning off S Mode HUGELY improved the performance of this laptop. Before S Mode = trapped on Microsoft Edge and lagging, lagging, lagging. After S Mode = using Chrome, getting work done.YOU WANT TO TURN OFF S MODE.))Confirm yes for each screen that it asks you to confirm.Boom -- now you're out of the silly little S Mode that keeps you tied to Microsoft only products, and you're able to use your laptop like a regular PC.Now to the general review:GREAT value. Good battery life. Light. Sturdy seeming shell. Giving this laptop 4 stars for now.Minus one star for all the effort I've had to put in turning off the built in Microsoft silliness... the S mode, the pop up advertisements, the attempts to constantly get me to do things I absolutely do not want to do like download gaming centers etc. All these things are able to be turned off however.Four stars because I've so far exclusively been using G Workspace and iCloud Workspace on the Chrome browser, integrating add-ons such as the iCloud password app etc., and I've run into no problems thus far. I have about 15-20 tabs open at any given time between these two Workspaces and am seeing no lagging or loading issues. I've been a Mac person for decades but can't afford a new one, so I thought why not try out this cheap Windows jam and see if it can help me get work done in the meantime? It's going swimmingly well, and I really appreciate the battery life on the laptop -- plenty long enough for a full work day unplugged. The graphics could be better but hey this is a sub-$200 laptop that I got on Prime. If you need a simple laptop for browser based cloud work, this is a great option.

Everything I need, nothing I don't. I only use it for typing documents to print, and posting stories online.If you want a very basic work or study laptop, this one is a solid choice at a decent price.

Wouldnt boot for 2 hrs, when it finally did it crashed a few times, very, very slow, mouse lag was unbearable. And slow...very, very slow. 4gb is a joke these days and people know thisEdit: Ive had Lenovo products before and they worked beautifully. So this may be a one off problem pc. So id definatley give another shot. Maybe a quick boot up by Q.C. before shipping...
