When opening the Laptop, and setting it up, i was surprised on how light it was. We all own lenovo laptops in our household, however this one was a let down. Pros: Very light weight Seems to have a fast processor Cons: (and these are major ones, especially if you love customizing your laptop to your liking) Comes with windows 10s mode. This means you cannot download any apps online unless they are in the app store. Therefore, any software, browsers, or general downloads that you usually run on a windows pc is blocked. - The screen is dull... i mean really dull. Even at the highest brightness setting, it still looked as if it was on low battery mode. - Innovation is lacking, as it is almost identical to similar lenovo laptops, but just slightly slimmer, & lighter. Overall, id pass on this one. If your a student and need a laptop for programming, you may be limited on what you can install and run on the laptop. However, lenovo offers turning off Windows 10s mode, but if you do so, it states that you can not get it back.

I cant believe how nice it really is. This was a refurbished unit. I challenge anyone to see the difference.

The installed operating system is Windows10 S. The S means it behaves in a very restrictive way. You are only allowed to use Microsoft approved apps from their store and do only Microsoft approved things. It is possible to upgrade to standard Windows 10 home (free) or pro(purchase) but there is little reason to do so. This is simply not a game machine and surfing the net and watching movies you can do with the s system no problem. There is a builtin camera and microphone with their increased risk of loss of privacy. On the face of it, you cannot enter the bios in order to install a different operating system. BUT WAIT, THERES MORE. If you are computer savvy and go to lenovos website and find the Lenovo manual for this specific laptop, and read it; you can change all of that. I am currently booting to, and running Linux Mint . This is exactly what I wanted; a cheap but modern laptop with Linux mint installed for general internet browsing and movies but without Microsoft telling me what I can and cant do or watching me do it. Its my wifes laptop and she is visually and physically impaired due to a stroke so no need for a game machine. The HD resolution is perfect for a screen of this size. Also, with Linux, there is almost no chance of anyone accessing the camera or microphone Snowden style.

I am quite pleased with this little laptop. However, people who are not comfortable with installing a clean copy of Windows 10 (or upgrading the ram to 8 gigs) will be dissatisfied with this laptop. It has so much bloatware installed that the computer runs extremely slow. (I am talking turtle slow, go get a cup of coffee, make breakfast, and come back to find the computer is still thinking about doing what you are asking it to). Even just simple web surfing is annoyingly slow. There are two choices: either upgrade the ram to 8 gigs OR install a clean copy of Windows 10. You cannot uninstall the bloatware as it has been integrated into the installed Windows 10 operating system. These are your only two options with this laptop. Once I realized that I could not uninstall the annoying bloatware, I decided to completely format the hard drive and install a clean copy of Windows 10. Luckily I already had a copy of windows 10 so I didnt incur any additional costs. If you dont have a copy of windows 10 and dont want to purchase one, then your remaining option will be to upgrade the ram to 8 gigs. If you can do this yourself, it will cost about $40. If you take it somewhere for this to be done, you should plan on spending around $100-ish. Once the bloatware issue is resolved, this is really a great laptop!

I hate windows 10 for many reasons. This laptop was made for windows 10 only. It was very difficult to install windows 7, but I finally did. Linux mint runs fine on the laptop.

The only thing positive about this laptop is that the graphics are good and its sleek lightweight design. It took forever to setup because it is extremely slow and unresponsive. Felt like I was back in the dial-up days. It is going to be returned. Shame on me for thinking a brand new computer would perform as well as a much older laptop. Will by a refurbished one instead.

This lap top is advertised as having windows home when in facts its in S mode. This limits productivity and if this was properly advertised I would not have purchase this computer.
