First impression, loving it. Thought it came with the pen but you buy that separate. Anyways working well, love all the features. I'm happy and content with my purchase. Yeah sure I could complain about the battery life, but why I love everything about the laptop. It's touch screen, great value, perfect size for our use. You know being picky I'd say just wish it had the number keys. Besides that this is a great purchase for a school or casual use laptop.Update I lied about the batteryThis laptop is everything I could ask for 😘😘

A great little laptop/tablet for the price. No real problems so far. I bought two. My husband takes his to the garage and runs a video while he is working on a car. Quick way to see how others solve the problem. Loves it!

I like it. Went with the 8GB/512GB model. It's about as close as you can get to a netbook or a netbook sized windows convertible for a reasonable price these days. If anyone here purchased one to replace a netbook, or has used one at one point, you know that this thing is INFINITELY BETTER than one of those. I retired my Asus T-100 that i used to use for light office work, web browser/youtube, and VNs. A 10.1" size class detachable that served its purpose for over 10 years. By todays standards, woefully underpowered @ 2GB ram 32bit atom and 32GB emmc. BUT, in its day, that was actually halfway decent for a small windows tablet. A netbook of the era had 1GB ram or less and had 7starter or XP. Moving along, this will have no problem running Edge, Outlook, and a light duty game (think Crush the Castle, Bloons 6, DDLC, Kingdom Rush, Henry Stickmin, etc.) at the same time, even in battery saver mode. It just takes some time to load initially. Make no mistake, despite my glowing opinion of it, it is not a fast machine relative to anything from the last 6 years with the Core i5+ or Ryzen 5+ series, but those are all in the 13"+ size class computers. This is more of a fella that will duke it out with a Surface Go. For the price, you get a lot more with the Lenovo, and it comes with the keyboard. I like the big boy bezels, when reading VNs in tablet mode I have some real estate for my hands to hold it without accidentally clicking the touchscreen. I did have to put a matte screen protector on it. Ain't no fun staring at my ugly mug whenever I'm trying to read. I also had a 14" 2020 Flex 5 ryzen for day to day use, I gave it to a family member and got this as a replacenent for all purposes not better done on a gaming desktop. This is significantly lighter, more portable (despite being a 2.4" smaller screen wise, it's only about 1" smaller chassis, but it does make a notable difference in lugging around) and while it doesn't feel premium, it doesn't feel like I need to baby it. Build quality is decent for the price, the Flex 5 was more than double the cost and had more chassis sag if held one handed. Very serviceable. Had to remove the bottom to tighten the hinges and remove the stylus plug cover (I HAD TO ORDER THAT SEPERATELY, THIS SAYS IT COMES WITH A STYLUS, BUT IT'S NOT THE STYLUS LENOVO OFFERS) speaking of the active OEM stylus (not the generic passive pen included), its very skinny and reminds me of a longer DS pen. For extensive use this may be a problem for some. Its also very recessed when docked and you need long fingernails or a pen to flick it out. It does work well, though. Touch screen works as it should both on Windows and Linux, accurate and responsive. Storage looks to be easily upgradable, battery looks easily changable. I throw it in a bag and take it back and forth to work every day without any worries. The only build quality issues I've had were the afore meantioned loosened hinges (easy fix), and the wifi stopped working after 2 months. Windows claimed there was a hardware issue, even on a rescue disk, Linux simply didn't acknowledge that where was wlan at all. After a few hours fussing about with settings, I took the wireless card out and put it back in. Seems to have fixed the issue, its been a few months no problems now. I've seen no complaints of this elseware, so maybe just a fluke. Battery life stunk initially. About 2-3 hours and running hot and slow, 4 hours at best with battery saver. Reinstalling windows and disabling most startup programs made a world of a difference. I also have it default to batterysaver whenever unplugged. It now runs cooler and lasts longer than advertised, about 8-12 hours depending on what I'm doing with it. Mind you, this is with DDLC/MAS running in the background (or foreground) at all times. Sorry if this is a meandering ramble. Overall, I'd recommend it if you've read all this and still think it could be a decent option. For what I expected and intended for it to do, especially relative to what I upgraded from, I am very happy with it. There's slim pickings, especially from a reputable brand, in this size class and budget.

Great for what it is! Don't expect a powerhouse but if you want to stream videos, check email and do basic tasks then this is great for you. Since it's like a tablet, it's fun for drawing and other touchscreen tasks. I really like how durable it feels, if you drop it I doubt anything will break. So far so good.

A common problem with these laptops is a "cmos checksum bad" error that causes the laptop to reboot endlessly if the power is allowed to fully drain. The BIOS can no longer be accessed. Replacing the cmos battery, laptop battery, or components, or using the pinhole factory reset on the bottom in the center does nothing. It has been reported that replacing the system board works, but the system board is about $200. If you have this laptop, keep it powered or expect to lose it. I have booted other laptops that have gone without power for years and have never had one completely fail as a result, this is a critical issue.

I love this little computer. I wanted something small to do my writing on. I don't plan on cluttering it up with anything else. The picture is beautiful, it's nice and compact, easy to take anywhere. It's fast, setup was a breeze. I've only had it a few days so I can't speak to longevity, but I trust the Lenovo brand to make an honest product. I couldn't be happier.

If you're looking for a small, functional, take-anywhere laptop, this is what you need. Now lets be clear. This laptop is no beast, BUT the N6000 CPU is surprisingly powerful compared to similar chips. One thing i should be clear about is that I purchased this so i could have a portable Linux system. Windows 11, in my opinion, didn't run very well. after Installing 'Linux Mint: Cinnamon Edition' it runs like a dream. In fact, I'm on it right now, writing this review.Another very important thing to talk about is the hard drive. IT CAN BE UPGRADED! It uses an NVME 2242. This is an oddball size and can be harder to find. I suggest a 2230 model and purchase an "Extender" to make it fit properly. I put a 2TB Western Digital Black in mine.Things I don't like... It didn't come with a pen. And even though the USB ports are USB3, I wish there were more. There is only one USB C port and that's for power, but you can get a USB C hub to feed it power and add more ports.All-in-All this is a great Laptop if you know what you're looking for. I highly recommend it.

Nice laptop in terms of size, features and price, but the unit I received was defective, would not charge reliably. I've returned the bad one and will purchase another when Amazon issues my credit.
