I am still testing it as I just acquired it, but so far, it is meeting expectations. It’s a great computer: efficient and with excellent value for money. It is also larger than I anticipated, and I am now getting used to it since I was previously working with a much smaller model from a fruit-branded company. Nevertheless, this screen is amazing! I also love the spacious keyboard, which makes typing much more comfortable. Additionally, I really enjoy working with Windows by Microsoft. For me, it’s where everything starts and remains essential in my daily life. Definitely, it’s a great choice for work and productivity.

I was a former Apple user, never used a Microsoft based Computer. Believe me when I say I absolutely love this Lenovo computer. It is everything I wanted. Speed, ease of use, attractive and very powerful. this was truly the best purchase I have made in a long time.

This laptop is in S mode so the preformance is limited. You can only use the apps that are on it already or from Microsoft store. If you already have 365 or any other subscription or use any apps not "Microsoft" you must unlock it. Once you've done that, it's a really good laptop

I’ve needed my own personal computer for some time now, been relying on my work computer for too many things. First the good, the build quality is really good, feels solid, and the runs window 11 and office apps quite efficiently. Now the cons: The keyboard, I find it a bit difficult to center my fingers as the key are low and smooth and the notches could be a bit more raised to insure correct finger placement. It’s not a touch screen, I have to keep reminding myself of that. I’m not a huge fan of touch pads as they tend to be overly picky where you push, a mouse solves that issues. Lastly, they added the number pad which surprising fits well and does not cram the keys together or make them too small. However, I rarely issue it, so dropping this, enlarging a few keys (ie delete key) would have been my preference even if it meant more open space around the perimeter. Anyway, minor cons, so far it’s working well for what I needed and (note I am not a gamer) and think it’s a great value for the money!

This is such a great laptop! Very easy startup and my brother is using it for college and for every day. It’s lightweight and the processing time is fast! Great value and ease of functionality for the best price!

I purchased the Lenovo Essential IdeaPad based on its promising specifications, but my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. It arrived today, and I was excited to set it up, only to be met with constant crashing during the initial update process. As soon as it reaches the “Downloading Updates” stage, the system crashes and shows the dreaded blue screen of death (IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE error). It does the same thing over and over again. Just keeps restarting and reaching this same error This isn’t just a random glitch—this is a blatant failure of quality control. For a brand-new laptop, this level of malfunction is unacceptable. I haven’t even been able to set it up, let alone use it for anything productive. This is a nearly $400-worth paperweight right now. To make matters worse, there is no easy solution provided. I’ve tried restarting, following basic troubleshooting steps, and yet, the problem persists. For a company of Lenovo’s caliber, this kind of defect on a supposedly “Amazon’s Choice” product is disgraceful. It makes me wonder if they even care about their customers. I’ll be reaching out to customer service, but I have little hope considering this terrible first impression. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration—avoid this laptop at all costs. I expected reliability and got disappointment instead. If Lenovo cares about their reputation or their customers, they need to rectify this issue immediately. This experience has left me questioning whether I’ll ever purchase a Lenovo product again. Buyers beware.

I was trying to like this laptop because the stats are decent for the money, but there are some key features that would have been nice to have -- mainly charging the laptop with USB-C. Come on Lenovo. It isn't 2010 anymore. Also, a backlit keyboard would have been nice too.

The screen is nice and big and it looks beautiful. As for editing, which is what I use it for, it works well.
