@Pedro M. Absolutely. These machines would only be purchased by people that have basic computing needs and, for that purpose, a Chromebook is a much better choice. Like I said in the video though, if you REALLY want Windows you'd be much better off buying a used laptop i this price range.
If gaming is your focus, then it’s definitely not the right machine. It’s for more than just students though. A lot of people use their machines just for media or browsing the web or word processing, etc... Chromebooks are great for those people.

@@Eevnos Sir, any chances to improve the performance? i cannot scrap it and buy new laptop again shortly. I am angry why Lenovo kniw this model laptop problem but they did not recall it, and this model was out of stock for 3-4 months. They should stop to sell as early as they could.😪

Lmao same , couldn't even watch UA-cam properly and can't even run chrome probably. It was cheap and had 4gb of ram so i though it would be alright. But nah
Now I understand what is going on with a Lenovo Ideapad Slim 1 I got for free. It takes a lot of work and professionalism to prepare this assessment. You are doing great.
I completely agree with this review. I bought it passing through Germany, ran in, bought it AND REGRETTED IT. It is so slow on almost every application. You name it, it was slow. I needed it for basic e-mail, web, and who would be able to use this laptop is beyond me. A complete waste of money and frankly Lenovo should be embarassed to sell it. Thanks for accurate review.
Hey Garry, if you still have it then you may want to consider putting Linux on it. I have Kubuntu on it now and it’s a whole different experience. Still not stellar performance, but completely usable now.
I did agree just put a USB or something in the side it nice Laptop it ok for me what I need for am not working so I find this one under £199 on black Friday sell and easy to use if you put windows 11 on from 10 also works better also
It's not a gaming machine, it's for students to run word. I just got one for £120($170) and runs perfectly for coursework and browsing. Couldn't even get a 5yr old laptop on ebay with this size screen for this price and it came with a full warranty so happy days.
Tempted to buy this laptop and put Linux on it. I barely use my x230 (and I only use it for light stuff anyway when I do). Would be nice though having something lighter for when I do use a laptop with the better battery life. Previously owned the 100s and 110s laptops before Lenovo decided to change the naming scheme, which I also liked.
I think you would've gotten much better results if you chose the AMD Athlon Silver 3020e model. On passmark, the A6-9220e doesn't even reach a CPU rating of 1,000, it only is 968, whereas the 3020e has a rating of 2,652, which is a 174% increase. Even the second most powerful processor, and the one that's most common for laptops at this price point, the Intel Celeron N4020, has a 68% decrease in performance to the 3020e, with a score of 1629 in passmark, so I think the difference would've been massive compared to the A6 model you reviewed.
I was trying to decide between a basic chrome book or this laptop for school work and emails, I think I’ll go with the chrome book based on this review and a few others, and in my opinion I think a chrome book would be better for me anyways, thanks for the great review!
I have the same laptop but i upgraded the ram and now i have a 12 gb of ram and its like a gaming beast it has a nvidia graphics card and i like it very much!!
I have one of these laptops and honestly it's not slow I watch movies and do my work on it and it works fast. I don't play games so it's not on it. 😴. I just needed it for college anyways.
I'd love to see a used computer buying guide with your perspective. I know they're offering a lot of old models with WIndows 10 in a low of places, including "renewed" and refurbished versions. They seem to have mixed results.
I have this laptop, and it performs very well, the storage is small but I have some 128GB USB’s, and it is a bit slow. But everything else is very good
The person I suggested this for .. The person will be mostly streaming and almost like a chromebook.. Sorry but Chromebooks suck. The person is just using it for general PC use.

Fairly dire review. Typical , though, when someone who'se own laptop is some fairly top of the line device. At root , they have little time for inexpensive stuff, and make no allowances at all for the real needs, and wants, of those who are the likely customers.
Andrew Preston it’s interesting that that’s the perspective you have when I mentioned other computers in the price range that would be a better choice.
@@Eevnos Um.., what other computers ? What I saw was you advised people to get/turn it into a Chromebook. Or else go to eBay, and buy a s/h laptop. That's not really 'mentioning other computers in the price range. If someone had wanted a Chromebook they'd probably have bought one in the first place. And presumably, if someone is looking to buy a cheap as chips $200 new machine, getting something new ( as compared to some thrashed out device on eBay ) is probably rather important to them. As I initially implied, try being the person who would be attracted to the machine, rather than someone who likely daily uses his all singing and dancing expensive laptop,, and mentally compares this with that one. By the way, I use a very old Vaio, it has 4Gb ram.... it runs Windows 10 just fine.
I bought this not realizing what shit I had bought so mostly I did not use it. They had a recent update and the system is running so much better. The browser is no longer lagging like crazy. For what I use it for which office and the browser. I can watch my shows easily now.
I am teacher so the word app is running smoothly, before I would be typing and nothing would type would not show up until what felt like about a minute. Even UA-cam was slow but now. Good improvement. I still would not recommend this. But it can handle my usage now. So if you already have it turn it on and boot it up now there will be an update and after the update shut it down the laptop for about 24 hours and then it functions fine
Windows 10 is simply too heavy for this little one. Swap to Cloudready and change it into a chromebook. Or even better, find yourself a light Linux Distro and you will be more than suprised with this Bad Boy. I bought it for around £175 (215 USD?). On Windows 10 it was almost impossible to open a UA-cam video. Two tabs in Chrome was painful... I swapped to Cloudready and after that to Linux Mint Mate. UA-cam in the background + libreoffice + 10 firefox tabs? No problem at all... The only problem is that you cant do anything with the guts...
@@zero4414 hey there. To get cloudready, google neverware and follow the instruction. For linux distros, use any bootable USB software and get something like Lubuntu, Linux Mint or Bodhi. Some bad news for you, this bad boy is deffo not for gaming :D
tbh, I own this laptop and I really regret it please don't buy this pc or a Chromebook because Chromebooks aren't better AT ALL so I recommend buying a used pc it's cheaper and better.
It may, but I would install a Linux installation on it instead. I'm working on a video, on exactly that topic, for my Linux channel, that I should have up soon.
@Eevnos Thank you so much for this review! How did you installed linux on this eMMC disk? I tried and it wont enter the disk after installing normally Zorin OS 16 lite. Any advice?
I really wonder why would Lenovo even make something like this? People are just going to buy it, get pissed off -- and the ONLY thing that can happen is people won't buy Lenovo again.
Should've watched this first...but I've been using a 2005 Dell espirion on 1g ram and updated to ssd but needed an upgrade. Using it for school and professional work...hope it works about to pick it up lol
@@MaureenMurphy_ Probably used or second hand market, I had that Laptop too and it was a piece of you know what. It was so slow, that It wasn't usable for my needs, and the battery life lasted for 3 hours when it was advertised as 7 hours, I sold it to some poor bastard on craigslist for 145$, I bought the Laptop on black Friday of 2019 for 129$.
@eevnos You can add a m.2 drive. Look at the video around 2:02. To the right side of the battery there are standoff screws for the m.2 and right above it and to the right of the cmos battery, is the m.2 slot
Hey, thanks for the comment. I know what you're talking about and it looks like there SHOULD be an M.2 slot to the right of the CMOS battery, there's even the pins for it so on some version of this board it may have it, but this machine does not have the slot.
So, I can't change the storage or memory ram? They might be somewhere inside! could you explain how to upgrade storage and ram in this notebook please?
It's not possible, both it's eMMC memory and it's RAM are soldered into the motherboard, for storage maybe you would like to buy either a 1 TB USB or an external hard drive
@@LaPrezzzzion It is A nightmare for me to buy this already. any innovative ideas to change CPU, RAM, HD. I was sad to see my laptop screen was blue color that it did not operate. My laptop mother board was replaced by new one after used it for 7 days.😫
Hello sir. I'm planning to buy this laptop too. May I know if its still performing well up until now? Hoping for your response. It will really help me to decide. Thank you.
Well.... I just plopped $40 down for this laptop. That's right, $40. It is on sale a BB for $120 and I had a $80 BB Reward certificate from prior purchases (of various items) at BB. The only thing this will be used for is Facebook and if it can handle it, Zoom meeting. I am going to give it to my father-in-law. Hopefully he doesn't get stressed out and keel-over waiting for a page to load. Time will tell.
Hay! You suggest a chrome book but it’s so un-user friendly I can’t even get power point presentations to work. Would this IdeaPad be able to handle MS ppt and google open at the same time?
1.I have this machine 2.What is the difference between Minecraft Windows 10 version or java version,does it work better? 3.should i sell it and buy another one? (im nearly 13 years old) 4.Is it really that you cant upgrade anythink on it?
Ok but who actually uses their webcam other than for video calling? Phone cameras have gotten so much better that it doesn't even make sense to record with a webcam, it's not 2008...
i'm gonna cry, i was literally waiting for this to come, i was so excited to use it for gaming like fortnite and stuff and i am just now looking at this dhdhvd
Guys it is worth the 120 mines was slow at first you just gotta get more storage and remove some stuff in the computer like everything is normal for me now not slow it doesnt over heat none of that anymore trust me roblox runs perfect on it and with exploits
I like the idea of wiping which I thought about long ago. I was hoping to wipe it and load Windows 7. Would really appreciate your advice on how to wipe Windows 10 and comment on loading 7 instead of Linux.
Windows 7 is not supported on these newer laptops, the bootloader is just not designed for newer UEFIs and there are no drivers for it, so it'll crash upon boot. You can probably use grub or the windows 10 efi bootloader and somehow make the drivers work on windows 7 and side load it with nlite, but that would require both the technical expertise and a shitload of time in your part.
I would reccomend you to just follow this tutorial to optimize windows 10 ua-cam.com/video/IU5F01oOzQQ/v-deo.html My machine now only consumes ~600mb of ram on idle and it's just much lighter overall.
Do you own this machine?
If so do you like it and what do you use it for?
@Pedro M. Absolutely.

@Eevnos Thank you so much for this review! How did you installed linux on this eMMC disk? I tried and it wont enter the disk after installing normally Zorin OS 16 lite. Any advice?
after 6 months of slowness finnaly installed linux and its so much better
Dose Linux make it alot better ?
@@zentex6612 yeah its alot more usable just a tip ubuntu doesnt have wifi drivers for it but kubuntu does
@@floydfan2026 before I switch to Linux on it before u switched to Linux how well was it running for you ?
@@zentex6612 it was pretty slow, took a bit to open edge or chrome and chrome was very slow edge was just about usable
Ah crap I guess all go through the process of getting Linux when I get the laptop for Easter I just wanted something that could run Roblox @virtualBoy
Would this be a good computer for online school
I really wonder why would Lenovo even make something like this? People are just going to buy it, get pissed off -- and the ONLY thing that can happen is people won't buy Lenovo again.
Should've watched this first...but I've been using a 2005 Dell espirion on 1g ram and updated to ssd but needed an upgrade. Using it for school and professional work...hope it works about to pick it up lol
Does it work?
do you think this would work easier if you use a flash or hard drive to store programs?
like would it run games easier if you stored them on a flash drive?
This helped me so much thanks
I got this for 50 dollars to do schoolwork. It works ok
WHERED YA GET THIS FOR 50 dollars??
Great, I'm glad it's working for you!
@@MaureenMurphy_ Probably used or second hand market, I had that Laptop too and it was a piece of you know what. It was so slow, that It wasn't usable for my needs, and the battery life lasted for 3 hours when it was advertised as 7 hours, I sold it to some poor bastard on craigslist for 145$, I bought the Laptop on black Friday of 2019 for 129$.
@eevnos You can add a m.2 drive. Look at the video around 2:02. To the right side of the battery there are standoff screws for the m.2 and right above it and to the right of the cmos battery, is the m.2 slot
Hey, thanks for the comment.
I know what you're talking about and it looks like there SHOULD be an M.2 slot to the right of the CMOS battery, there's even the pins for it so on some version of this board it may have it, but this machine does not have the slot.
i’m just getting the laptop for school to write papers and upload stuff. other than that i will use my ipad
Can you please recommend an 11.6", windows budget laptop ?
I'm a student. Should I buy this or chromebook?
So, I can't change the storage or memory ram? They might be somewhere inside! could you explain how to upgrade storage and ram in this notebook please?
It's not possible, both it's eMMC memory and it's RAM are soldered into the motherboard, for storage maybe you would like to buy either a 1 TB USB or an external hard drive
Impossible.
@@LaPrezzzzion It is A nightmare for me to buy this already. any innovative ideas to change CPU, RAM, HD. I was sad to see my laptop screen was blue color that it did not operate. My laptop mother board was replaced by new one after used it for 7 days.😫
I’m gonna use it to edit my videos, is to good for that?
I think so!
Umm its prob shit for editing
There is an SSD version of this... I wonder how it performs.
yes i want to know if it's worth it for work/studying
Hello sir. I'm planning to buy this laptop too. May I know if its still performing well up until now? Hoping for your response. It will really help me to decide. Thank you.
Don't buy very poor performance!
I would pass on this computer, it’s extremely slow.
Well.... I just plopped $40 down for this laptop. That's right, $40.
It is on sale a BB for $120 and I had a $80 BB Reward certificate from prior purchases (of various items) at BB.
The only thing this will be used for is Facebook and if it can handle it, Zoom meeting. I am going to give it to my father-in-law. Hopefully he doesn't get stressed out and keel-over waiting for a page to load.
Time will tell.
Thank you for a very honest review. It helps a lot for me to avoid this machine. 😊
Is it okey for a person who would just use it for browsing, instagram, fb, youtube, maybe watch a movie on netflix.
No, I have one and its shit...movies glitch and crackle and I just waited for 5 minutes for UA-cam to load to listen to this review.
Nope, I agree with the guy above. I had to type this on phone because its too slow to load the page, I have this, waiting to refund it.
Hay! You suggest a chrome book but it’s so un-user friendly I can’t even get power point presentations to work. Would this IdeaPad be able to handle MS ppt and google open at the same time?
Idk about having more than one thing open... spend a bit more and get the ideapad 3
1.I have this machine
2.What is the difference between Minecraft Windows 10 version or java version,does it work better?
3.should i sell it and buy another one? (im nearly 13 years old)
4.Is it really that you cant upgrade anythink on it?
Ok but who actually uses their webcam other than for video calling?
Phone cameras have gotten so much better that it doesn't even make sense to record with a webcam, it's not 2008...
Would this be good for a 7 year olds first laptop?
Sir, how about Lenovo Ideapad Slim 1 14" HD Loptop ( AMD 3020e) [64GB] is it good for college student having school activities?
Can you upgrade the processor?
i'm gonna cry, i was literally waiting for this to come, i was so excited to use it for gaming like fortnite and stuff and i am just now looking at this dhdhvd
Same, my heart is aching right now. It’s supposed to come on Tuesday (it’s Friday btw) 😔🤦🏾♀️
Fortnite... 🤦♀️😂
Is this good for school work and UA-cam
Guys it is worth the 120 mines was slow at first you just gotta get more storage and remove some stuff in the computer like everything is normal for me now not slow it doesnt over heat none of that anymore trust me roblox runs perfect on it and with exploits
@Eevnos does it help to buy RAM to speed it up a bit?
Unfortunately you can't on these computers, it's soldered to the board.
Whats Linux and where can you download it safely
Thanks! :)
Is it good for coding?
any recommendation for a cheap laptop? Mostly work with Microsoft office only.
Is it good for programming as well?
yes
Is this a good school laptop?
yes then if your downloading anything installing software.
@@mollies13 *you're
can you please tell me what the power pin size is? 4 mm?
Thanks!
sorry meant power jack
I have this laptop and it isnt that bad
Will this be ok for 3d printing software?
how did you install linux on this laptop ?
Are this good for a lite programming??
Could this run an app like TeamViewer? As a remote user.
I like the idea of wiping which I thought about long ago. I was hoping to wipe it and load Windows 7. Would really appreciate your advice on how to wipe Windows 10 and comment on loading 7 instead of Linux.
Windows 7 is not supported on these newer laptops, the bootloader is just not designed for newer UEFIs and there are no drivers for it, so it'll crash upon boot.
You can probably use grub or the windows 10 efi bootloader and somehow make the drivers work on windows 7 and side load it with nlite, but that would require both the technical expertise and a shitload of time in your part.
I would reccomend you to just follow this tutorial to optimize windows 10 ua-cam.com/video/IU5F01oOzQQ/v-deo.html
My machine now only consumes ~600mb of ram on idle and it's just much lighter overall.
I only need it run youtube and LIVE sportstream did it RUN THAT with no broblems ?
