2018 Lenovo Ideapad 15.6" HD Premium High Performance Laptop, AMD Quad-core A12-9720P Processor 2.7GHz, 8GB DDR4, 1TB HDD, DVD, Webcam, 802.11AC, HDMI, USB Type-C, Bluetooth, Windows 10

After reading some negative reviews I was a bit reserved about getting this laptop. I decided to go ahead and give it a chance because it was a great price considering the specifications, and Amazon is usually pretty good about taking care of returns and refunds if the product is bad. If you are looking for a good laptop to handle day to day tasks like surfing the web, watching YouTube videos, Facebook, Email, etc. this laptop will definitely handle all that with ease. It had no problems rendering video for some of my work projects, and it seems to handle casual gaming pretty well. The screen graphics are not the best, but at this price point it is not a deal breaker. It isn't a touch screen laptop, but for me I honestly don't care about that anyway. It runs slow when you first start it up but after you download the initial updates for Windows 10, it runs just fine. It comes without any bloatware which is great. I personally recommend installing Malwarebytes and getting rid of the McAfee Anti-virus that comes preinstalled because McAfee uses more system resources, and I have experienced good results using Malwarebytes. All in all if you are looking for a good quality laptop at a decent price, then this is the best bang for your buck.

If you're looking for a budget laptop that doesn't demand that you make substantial compromises because of the price point, this is it.Impressions:- Nice, sleek finish- Seems very sturdy/well-made- Doesn't come with bloatware, except McAfee.- The processor is quite fast, especially considering this is a 360 dollars laptop.- A LOT of manufacturers overlook this, ... but you can flip the laptop open with just one hand. This sounds minuscule, but in practice, it's VERY nice you can after dealing with ones where the base just lifts up with the tension of opening.Haven't tried any games on it yet, but I don't have high expectations since this isn't made for that. But for everything else, It's 100% sufficient.Please be aware that the laptop may actually seem slow and laggy at first, but that's due to Windows 10 automatic updates running in the background, just let it all finish and then disable the automatic updates, and you're golden.

I bought this laptop in 2019 and I rarely use it but the battery lasts for maybe 30 minutes. It also runs extremely slow. I realize this is a value laptop, but you should still be able to browse quickly and expect to have a charge for a reasonable amount of time. I do not recommend this laptop even if you’re only using it for emails, online shopping, bills, etc.

I bought this refurbished/renewed w/12g RAM for $349. Honestly, it looks brand new. No scratches or other signs of use. Came with a Lenovo charger too. I bought it because my old Lenovo laptop, which does still work, just outlived the technology advances after 10 years.I mostly write and surf the web. A full size keyboard is an absolute must, and Lenovo still produces the best keyboards IMO. That goes for laptops and their PC keyboards (I have their Legion series).I knew going in that it wouldn't be great for gaming or a large amount of processes. I do still see some sluggishness with Slack, but to be fair, I see that on my desktop too, which is a gaming rig.Screen quality is middle of the road if you're trying to watch videos or movies.Sound is tinny unless you adjust it.Camera quality leaves a lot to be desired. The camera on my 10 year old Lenovo is better.Bloatware is not an issue with this model, aside from the standard Windows apps. This was unexpected since my old Lenovo was loaded with it.Battery life is about 4-5 hours, depending what you're doing. I expected this, and you can see more life if you adjust the settings.A feature I would've liked is a backlit keyboard, but it's not a necessity. The screen gives off a fair amount of light, just not always enough for my liking.I plan to purchase another in the future for my son to use for classes.

Awesome computer. Best bang for the buck. 8GB of RAM, 1TB of HHD, good battery quality.I was a little concerned at first when the battery wouldn’t charge past 95%. However, as it is not losing power when plugged in, we’ve concluded that that is normal behavior for this computer. Online research revealed the same thing.I use it for work, and it meets my needs. Other brands are more expensive, but if you keep in mind the RAM and HHD, this is easily the best computer for the price.
