With the specs, expect this to be a very basic entry level laptop in terms of performance. The i3 processor is plenty of horsepower for everything school or office. The limit here though is the 4GB of RAM and the 128GB SSD. That means what you really can do with this is surf the web and do some homework which is what we needed it for. It also handles YouTube TV / YouTube videos fine. You are not going to be able to game on this or edit videos.Out of the box there isn't a lot of do other than plug in the power supply and turn it on. The setup takes you through the Windows 10 setup with it's seemingly endless screens of questions. I found that during this setup process, the laptop felt very slow. Once completed, you will still need to go to the Windows Update and finish updating the laptop. It was very sluggish during this process as well. Once all the updates were install however, it seemed much more responsive. Several updates were needed including Windows 10 2H20.The first thing I needed to do was install Google Chrome so the laptop could be used for schoolwork since the school uses Google Classroom. This is when I remembered the laptop ships with Windows 10 S mode. Windows 10 S mode means it's limited to installing apps from the Microsoft Store. I am not sure if Google Chrome is in the Microsoft Store. I do know it tried to convince me several times not to install Chrome because Edge is better. But, taking it out of S mode was no big deal. You just acknowledge that you want to do so and it's done. It doesn't seem to need to install anything special to do that.I've setup MANY PCs and laptops in my life, including the hundreds I've built myself. My annoyance with off-the-shelf PCs has always been all the extras they ship with that I end up needing to uninstall. I was VERY impressed that Lenovo doesn't do that. It's quite the opposite actually. They leave all the cruft uninstalled and give you the option of installing it. That was a fantastic move on the part of Lenovo. Bravo.The laptop hardware itself feels substantial. It's actually a bit heavier than I was expecting. It feels quite a bit heavier than the Microsoft Surface Laptop (v1) that we have. But it feels solid not plasticky and cheap. The keyboard feels nice and the screen doesn't feel like it's going to break off when you fold it back into tablet mode. The awkward thing about tablet mode though is why you're holding it, you're pressing all the keys on the backside. The keyboard automatically turns off in tablet mode but it still feels weird. The dark grey color is nice and the sharp edges and overall thinness of the laptop give it a nice look.Performance-wise is where this is lacking. You just have to know what you're getting with 4GB of RAM and 128GB SSD. With regards to the SSD, after formatting and Windows 10 you're left with around 80GB free. That's not much more than my iPhone. Since we're using it mostly for school work, surfing and watching YouTubeTV/Netflix/etc. and we have a file server for the house, it doesn't really matter. It's really the 4GB that drags this down. And there's no way to pop it open and upgrade it.Overall though, it's going to fit the need. And we just needed something that didn't feel cheap, had a touch screen and would be fast enough for Google Classroom and on-line videos/TV. When I got a laptop for my wife for her business though I went with and i5/8GB RAM/512GB SSD and you can really tell the difference in how quick the browser comes up and how many tabs you can have open. You need to match the hardware to your "use case" and despite the low specs, this one fits ours just fine without getting a Chromebook (that wasn't going to happen!).
