Lenovo Ideapad 1i, 14.0" Laptop, Intel Pentium N5030, 4GB RAM, 128GB eMMC Storage, Cloud Grey, Windows 11 in S Mode with Office 365 1-yr, 82V6001DUS

My HP laptop's USB's all stopped working over the last year, so i bought this computer on sale for $129. I wasn't expecting a lot, so i was shocked when i opened the box and saw how heavy and substantial this computer is, and the screen's brightness is a lot brighter than my HP. I love this computer, it has the same specs and speed as my HP, for 1/3 the price. Every once in awhile you find a product that exceeds your expectations, this is one of those times.

So, I was very hesitent to get this laptop.. Walmart is known for selling cheap laptops that don't last. I've also had my share of experiences with the Lenovo brand, as well as the ThinkPad series of laptops. This laptop has yet to dissapoint. After I updated all the needed firmware and got rid of all the bloatware(including anything Microsoft 360), this laptop runs like a machine 6x its price. I've been getting two days of battery life out of this thing, having owned it now about a week. It does have an SD card slot on the right hand side, but the car WILL stick out when in use, so keep that in mind. The keyboard is AMAZING to type on. The speakers are somewhat decent, but I'd invest in either a good pair of noise canceling headphones, or a good bluetootjh speaker if I were you(I own a JBL Flip 5). The screen has a matte finish, so it doesn't reflect light, making it easy to use in bright conditions(Haven't had it outside). Other reviewers talk about needing to not only update the firmware and then reset the laptop to make it run decent, that wasn't my experience. I did, however, erase all the data from the old version, as well as immediately pull it out of S mode. The track pad works great, but it might be beneficial to the user to add a bluetooth mouse, though I don't feel the need for one. All in all, for about 160 after tax, this laptop is worth the price.
