5.0 out of 5 stars Very nice laptop
Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2024
This is a great little laptop. The streaming is excellent, with perfect audio. The software products are just what I need for school. I got it at a great price. There is only one drawback, it does not have a touch screen.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple computer
Reviewed in the United States on March 20, 2024
I don't do gaming so this computer works great. I can use my Cricut and do my studies all in this with out an issue. It's not going to be the quickest computer, but, for the price I can't complain.

It's light weight and easy for travel. It connects to my hot spot/Bluetooth nicely no issues.

4.0 out of 5 stars Nicer Than Expected
Reviewed in the United States on March 17, 2024
So Hubby has needed a laptop for a good minute. We usually buy his refurbished bc he doesn't use a computer as much as I do. A #TB hard drive and top-shelf or even mid-level graphics card would be wasted on him, but he does need a laptop to access work files from home and general computer tomfoolery.

So his last system was a refurb/open box Lenovo Ideapad, 4g RAM, and 1T hard drive. We got it from BestBuy Outlet a few years ago. It was so nice I told my sister about it and she got the same one.

Fast forward to last December and the age was showing. I think the manufacture date is 2019, and it's showing the age. I was using it for work (WFH) bc he didn't need it. But then he DID need it so I had to go to a backup until he got me a desktop (see review).

The BB Lenovo was slow, so very slow it was like Chinese water torture. Booting it up took time, yeah, 2-5 minutes depending on its mood. I'm not talking from shutdown. I mean from sleep/hibernation to lock screen to desktop. Painfully slow, so we needed to upgrade him. We couldn't shell out a lot of money for it, though, so I went shopping.

This system has good storage for him. He doesn't take enough pix or do enough browsing to need more than 512G so the extra 128G is just gravy. The 12G RAM is a major step up and he's no longer grumbling about how slow his computer is.

Yay.

I'm a little jelly. This thing is sleek. At this price, we could afford to grab another. I just got a gamer desktop, though (see review!) so it's not practical.

Pros: See above
Plus: That card slot is a good thing since it doesn't have a CD/DVD tray at all (see pic).
The camera cover/lock is NICE (see pic). I always tape a little paper over webcams but there's no need with this.
One of the USB ports is a USB-C (see pic), which is nice since things seem to be moving that way.

I thought I was settling for the 15.6" screen but it's not as small as I thought it would be. My desktop system monitors are 22 and 24 inches respectively and my last laptop was 17", so 15" feels small to me until I actually see it.
As stated: Hubby doesn't care. This laptop is the same size as his old one and even the same manufacturer, so yeah. He's good.

Cons:
No disc tray. Anything he needs to physically add has to be on an SD card, thumb drive, or downloaded. Please note: Hubby doesn't care.

For my geeky/gamer heart, it's not nearly enough HD space, but for Hubby it's perfect.
The preinstalled bloatware insists on being used even when you uninstall it, but isn't it always?

Minimal ports. I need way more USB ports and no ethernet is a deal breaker for me.
Caveat: This laptop isn't for me, since I have a gaming/work desktop system. Hubby doesn't care about this at all, so it's just a "that would be nice" thing.

Anyway, I like this machine a lot. It's light and clean and a fantastic value for the price. I think it will serve Hubby well.

9/10 would recommend.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally...
Reviewed in the United States on April 19, 2024
I had bought and returned 2 laptops before this one. One new laptop (also a Lenovo) that was defective and didn't function properly, and then a refurbished laptop that broke down after one update (I forgot what brand). Honestly, I was unsure about buying another Lenovo since the quality of previous one seemed to be horrible. I'm very happy with this one. Everything has gone smoothly starting it up, loading it with programs, and working with it.

I'm so glad that I bought an excellent laptop this time around.
Lenovo is the best! And I plan on staying with this brand from now on
Definitely worth the money.
Highly recommend this laptop for working at home

1.0 out of 5 stars Unusable -- Arrived with external drive locked with "Bitlocker," no recovery key provided
Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2024
I had jumped through various annoying Microsoft and Lenovo hoops trying to set up this new laptop. Then I was totally stymied when the E:/ drive could not be used to transfer photos from my desktop to the laptop. The drive was locked up with something called Bitlocker, which needed either a password (of course I had none) or a 48-digit "recovery key." Some moron at the factory had locked the computer. Microsoft was no help, its site saying sternly that providing a key had nothing to do with them. Amazon listed a support phone number for Lenovo that was "no longer in service," and Lenovo's web support site was useless. I was forced to initiate a return. Booo, Lenovo.

5.0 out of 5 stars Surprisingly Easy to Use
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2024
I wanted to get a laptop that would be pretty straight forward as I'm mot the most tech savvy person. It was easy to set up, screen is bright and open, apps are easy to find. Was a good purchase. Good for reading, research studying and such.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Deal

Great value for money. Fast and very light weight. Wish the hard drive was bigger but if you have an external hard drive, won’t make a lot of difference.
