Lenovo IdeaPad 1, 15 inch Full HD Laptop, Intel Celeron N4500, 4GB RAM, 128GB eMMC, Windows 11 Home S, Microsoft 365 Personal, Cloud Grey

Bought this laptop for my Dad who just wanted something basic, however, I wanted to make sure the specifications meant the laptop would last. As someone who often builds custom gaming PC's, I am quite familiar with what good or bad spec'd laptops look like. During setup of everything, I was really impressed with the overall package: The speed of the device is good, it is snappy and quick. The i5-12450h is a good solid processor, one of reasons why I went for this laptop, so I was not surprised. The 8GB ram is suitable for my dad's needs that involves light to medium multitasking and the 512gb storage provides peace of mind - plus it is upgradable. Screen viewing angles are pretty Meh, but looking straight on is absolutely fine. It is clear and pretty bright, so no real complaints considering the price point. Sound quality from the built-in speakers are okay, perfectly fine for watching videos but nothing to write home about, they laptop speakers at the end of the day - wired or Bluetooth headphones would be the way for music listener's. Keyboard is nice to use and trackpad is responsive. The only negative is Windows 11. I personally do not like that it forces you to sign up for a Microsoft account to actually setup the PC. However, this is may not be an issue for some. It does come pre-installed with some bloatware that you'll want to uninstall, but not as much as I expected to be fair. I got it at a great price which made it worthwhile, but I think this would still be perfect as a solid first laptop, laptop for parents or children, or someone who is just on a budget but still wants a quick laptop. Absolutely zero complaints from me.

For the basic activities we use it for ; email , shopping, photo storage , documents & excel work it is excellent. Probably do lots more too. Quick & easy to use.

I was looking for a budget laptop for simple things like YouTube and Facebook, and this delivers very well. It's pretty fast and the screen is nice and bright - not the best quality screen but it's good enough. My main issue are the speakers - they are very clearly however are not loud AT ALL. Even at 100 percent they don't sound loud at all. It's high enough if you are alone in a quite room but music just isn't enjoyable. The laptops built quality is great and very light. All in all a great laptop but as it's a budget laptop it has limitations. Still glad I purchased it.

Lovely item, arrived safely packed up and needing a security pin.. Not everything these days is delivered so well by Amazon delivery drivers, which leads to chasing refunds. However, this item is lovely and well worth the money.

Good laptop for internet browsing, office use and nothing to demanding, no problems so far and easy for my wife to use

Good value for money. Good laptop.

What I bought it for: - Uni and general personal admin work Pro’s: - Price - nice looking - light - reliable (so far so good) Cons: - Performance (really limited. It’ll do what’s asked, but sometimes it takes a while EG outlook runs but is often laggy, MS office and internet browsers work fine once they’ve started up) - only supports 1 additional monitor (NB: you can get a cheap USB to HDMI adapter to plug in a second additional monitor, but performance again is limited)

Amazing price for a windows 11 Laptop, My old laptop was a Lenovo and it is still working fine after 11 years but was windows 10. I think this is a great buy , It is perfect for general home use- I watch most of my TV on the various iplayers. very lightweight, screen size fine- not sure about gaming capabilities - it only has 4 gig Ram, and it is something I have no interest in.
