    Great Budget Laptop

    The Laptop is good for your every day usage, it plays music very well, the surround is good, you can hear bass, it plays movies well, if your screen goes black that’s because you need to update your graphic card to Radeon T 610M, just download AMDs App, it plays games well, if your expecting to play the newest games, certain games will play, you can play any COD game from Infinite Warfare and before, you can play Jurassic World Evolution 2, Sims 4, you can play Starfield. So out of all the budget options, this is a Go To Option for those who just want something that’ll get them through the day for all their needs

    The black part is detaching from the screen. I like how the screen is big. I recommend to a college student.

    I like this Lenovo IdeaPad 1. I traded in my other HP laptop and upgraded to this IdeaPad 1 and being on a budget it was well worth it for the budget I was working with! If you need a reasonably priced laptop for school or work then I highly recommend this one! Gaming and things like that I do not recommend this laptop it's not very good performance-wise for gaming but for everything else, it's worth it!

    Great Laptop Sad to Part Ways

    This was my first laptop from this brand and I must say it was very sturdy and great quality! Would buy again and recommend. My only issue is that I decided to try the open box price to see if would save me a little money because it was best buy approved. Perhaps a minor detail was missed on the screen corner but I had to return the laptop quickly back because the laptop's keyboard was peeling the screen off when opening the laptop. Not sure how such a thing was happening but I was sad to part ways with computer. Shopping for another levono at the moment.

    Do not buy this computer! had it for a month and the screen is already broken. one of the hinges in the bottom right corner broke off and now i have to shut it a certain way to not break the whole screen. Today i was using it and the protection piece for all of the hinges broke off and now my computer is in 2 pieces! I never bring this thing out of my room. The computer is slow and the batter only last 3 hours! i bought the warranty for it but apparently that only covers hardware issues and not physical issues. what’s the point of warranty if it doesn’t cover the whole thing! I’m so upset i spend money on this thing >:(

    Please don't purchase like I did. At month 3, the screen frame/molding started to peel upward. Everytime I opened it got worse. Warranty through best buy ended two weeks after. I Contacted lenovo and opened a ticket. They noted any structure issues were not covered even if it was a defect. Please buy something else that lasts. Also from a company that helps and stands by their quality
