1.0 out of 5 stars Disappointed and Frustrated: Avoid This Laptop!
By John
I purchased the Lenovo Essential IdeaPad based on its promising specifications, but my experience has been nothing short of a nightmare. It arrived today, and I was excited to set it up, only to be met with constant crashing during the initial update process. As soon as it reaches the “Downloading Updates” stage, the system crashes and shows the dreaded blue screen of death (IRQL_GT_ZERO_AT_SYSTEM_SERVICE error). It does the same thing over and over again. Just keeps restarting and reaching this same errorThis isn’t just a random glitch—this is a blatant failure of quality control. For a brand-new laptop, this level of malfunction is unacceptable. I haven’t even been able to set it up, let alone use it for anything productive. This is a nearly $400-worth paperweight right now.To make matters worse, there is no easy solution provided. I’ve tried restarting, following basic troubleshooting steps, and yet, the problem persists. For a company of Lenovo’s caliber, this kind of defect on a supposedly “Amazon’s Choice” product is disgraceful. It makes me wonder if they even care about their customers.I’ll be reaching out to customer service, but I have little hope considering this terrible first impression. Save yourself the time, money, and frustration—avoid this laptop at all costs. I expected reliability and got disappointment instead.If Lenovo cares about their reputation or their customers, they need to rectify this issue immediately. This experience has left me questioning whether I’ll ever purchase a Lenovo product again. Buyers beware.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Great Laptop At An Amazing Price!
By Amazon Customer NY
I just received the Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6” Windows 11 and I’m very impressed. It appears to be a high quality computer with 20GB Ram 256GB SSD with Microsoft 365 (1 year license). The screen looks great and the computer seems to be fast. I don’t know how they can offer it for $379.Amazing value!

great laptop for the price. The 16GB RAM and 512GB ssd provide smooth performance and the 180° hinge is a nice touch. Windows 11 runs well, and the sleek Silver Gray design looks premium. Highly recommend!

5.0 out of 5 stars Rocky setup, but end result was worth it

The media could not be loaded. When I first booted this laptop up, it presented me with a "defaultuser0" account that I didn't know the password to. I completely wiped this laptop's SSD and reinstalled Windows to play it safe, and after that it worked like a charm with regular setup. I did have to find drivers online for the touchpad afterward though.Getting at the SSD to do all of this was thankfully pretty easy, since the bottom panel was removable with a few tiny screws. I noticed that there is only a single slot for RAM in there, but it isn't soldered on so I was able to upgrade it with a 16 gig stick at least. The N97 is no gaming powerhouse but it plays some older titles still, and the laptop works great for work like emails and browsing the internet.
