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.

This is a good general purpose laptop fine for surfing the net and using for office programs and is reasonably fast at that. That's what I use it for, I don't use it for gaming so have no idea what it would be like for that sort of thing. I use it mainly off the mains so I don't know what the battery life is but the few times I have used it on battery alone it seems ok so I reckon you should get several hours out of it. It is now running Windows 11 version 24H2, so far with no problems.

Loving my new laptop..got alot of inbuilt aswell.I just purchased the laptop, and haven't see any issue with it yet.

Veruvgood product with good build. Very easy to set up with great speed. Looks good and perfect for grandson use at school and college

Quite a bargain; lovely little laptop.

Physically it looks good but performance wise it is awful and a waste of money! It’s extremely slow and I only purchased it for home use emails etc had to return it and purchased a better brand instead

Ideal for my personal use. Not too fussy, does exactly what I wanted, and a very competitive price. More than happy, especially as it has Microsoft 365. Just perfect for my needs.

This is a cracking spec with loads of storage, nice and slim and got it at the best price.
