Forget the haters! My wife and her aunt have something similar. If the performance is the same, It's a great deal for less tech-savy uses, like home study, or for media consumption. Windows 10 works just fine once you switch out of S mode. Streaming services work, Zoom works, light browsing works (seen the wife with 10 tabs open in Chrome and Edge just fine). They pay bills, do online shopping, write emails - all that stuff. The kids play Roblox and Minecraft. Wife hooks up to the TV to do her workouts. The specs are all low-end, but it is $150.

So what are the cons? It's not thin, nor light. The camera is hot garbage to me, but the wife uses it for Zoom and hasn't complained yet, so there's that. The screen is ... meh. I mean, our phones have better screens, and I'll bet a $150 phone might as well. At first I was concerned about the 4GB of ram, but honestly, it hasn't been a problem YET. I'm sure, in the future we'll have to revisit this. I would like an ethernet jack, but it's hard to tell because they only use them in the house and we have good wi-fi. If we go on vacation, it might be a different story. Also, 128GB of storage is nothing these days. You will run out fast if you have a lot of media. But this problem isn't exclusive to this particular model, as the majority of laptops are in the same boat. So add the cost of external storage (SD card, external drive, cloud) to the overall price. Finally, the battery life is not good. You'll have to pay more to start getting decent longevity.

I'm telling you guys. Avoid these lower end Lenovo laptops. Already purchased and returned two similar models. RAM is soldered and cannot be upgraded. Even running basic tasks on Windows 10 is hard for these to handle, especially with only 4GB of RAM.

Not sure about Netflix but youtube is fine as long as not 4k or 60fps. At least I could achieve that with my cheap 14w. So far with 14W I am able to edit pic, video editing, google doc/drive without problem using ubuntu-mate 20.04LTS. This one is much more powerful than 14W so if 14W could I don't see why not.
You won't be able to do 4k 60 FPS due to the limitation of the HDMI 1.4b port.

4K at 30 FPS will work fine.

Would be pretty good with some flavor of Linux or as a Chromebook. Linux if you want a fully functioning machine or Chrome if you want to hand it off to a child or older parent.

I swear there was a comment in this thread asking if this is better than the $119 laptop Best Buy sold last week. I somehow missed that completely, was it a windows laptop?
I think I remembered that bestbuy laptop, it was not as good as last year's 14w and certainly not as good as this one been discussed. Yes they are all windows 10s laptop.

Man I love lenovo keyboards typing this on a t440p right now. But, it's pretty heavy by 2020 standards. Get this for travel leave the t440p at home? CPU would be a pretty big downgrade from the 4700mq? Ram as easy to upgrade?

2.4ghz DUAL CORE, and a pentium. Nearly all modern processors are quad core, and even octa core and up. This is SLOW SLOW SLOW!!!
More cores don't necessarily mean drastically greater capabilities for basic everyday tasks. They are modern cores at least, and with the decent storage and RAM easily upgradable to 12 GB, this thing actually doesn't look that horrible considering it's $150. You might want to pick one up, since your caps lock or shift key key seems to be activating randomly. It'll handle ranting on Slickdeals just fine. I'm considering it just to have a small Windows/Linux machine to tote around.

You are correct. The $119 isn't as good as this $149 laptop. Someone else found it for me: https://slickdeals.net/f/14429555-lenovo-ideapad-1-14-laptop-amd-a6-series-4gb-memory-amd-radeon-r4-64gb-emmc-flash-memory-platinum-gray-119-fs?v=1

Good luck if you try for this one! 👍

Can you show me a link to a similar priced laptop running windows for $50?
Its just not worth it...better off spending 100$ more.
If it was 50$, I would have bought it as a spare laptop.
That is all it is worth.

Follow the wiki on this thread to remove it out of windows S mode and some other bloatware on windows 10. Then make sure you updated windows 10 to the latest version. It might be slow because it's downloading in the background. After a few restarts and see.

It's like running a low HP Honda, it won't run fast with ton of shit in the car. Take everything out. Smilie
