Watched a few videos to test (I purchased this laptop for college courses which include live stream lectures) and there is no lag whatsoever. Very pleased!
Edited to add: I wouldn't recommend operating the laptop on any sort of material, such as a comforter on your bed. It does seem to get pretty hot after about 20 or 30 minutes of use. I am still keeping it at a 5-star rating because I don't really consider this to be any kind of setback. Excellent laptop!
Laptop was new, in perfect condition and works like a charm.
AMD A12 processor is quite fast when loading everything from an SSD.
Light for its size, not much flex in the body.
EASY upgrade-ability!!! mem, hdd, screed, dvd drive are all easily accessible and removable.
The Model of this Laptop is the Lenovo IdeaPad 320-15ABR (it is not in the item description for some reason)
Complaints:
720p screen that's not very bright. Great if in a dark area but otherwise not that good. I have already ordered a replacement screen that is 1080 and brighter than the stock one.
Low RPM HDD. 5200 RPM 1TB HDD is painfully slow compared to an SSD. It should have come with an SSD or a higher RPM (7200+) HDD, but this is a cheap easy fix. I suggest getting a HDD/SSD caddy to replace the dvd drive, and have 2 storage drives. Again I already ordered that part.
4GB of the mem is attached to the MOBO of the laptop and 4GB is replaceable. (i Have never seen a laptop with half the memory soldered to the board and half swappable, not sure why Lenovo did this. Kinda odd.
Short charging cable.
1) The drive is the traditional hard drive with moving parts, not the SSD higher-end computers boast of.
2) The battery was pretty limited. I couldn't get more than a 2 hr 15 min use from full charge to the computer needing to turn off.
The first of these was no surprise at all, of course. I mention it mainly to say it wouldn't have been a deal breaker for me, at all. The computer has a solid processor and enough memory to handle pretty much anything the average user willl throw at it, short of graphics-heavy gaming.
The second point *is* a deal breaker for me, because I occasionally need a machine that can last a half day without access to a plug. Amazon is being extremely reasonable about allowing a return and full refund. But as other users have also mentioned the battery life, I'll reiterate: it really is subpar for a machine with these kinds of specs.
That said: if you can deal with the short battery life, you're not going to find a better machine at this price. The case is solid and attractive, the keyboard responsive and comfortable to use (nice touch with the dedicated number keypad too!), the sound is much better than you see on budget laptops, and it booted quickly and handled running multiple programs including the resource-hog Google Chrome without a hiccup. If you're looking for a true desktop replacement or otherwise will have fairly regular access to an outlet, give it a try. I'm really sorry to be sending this one back!
I don't know if I simply got a dud unit or if Lenovo should just be avoided altogether. I'll probably never know because I won't be buying another one. Three days was a long enough sentence for me.
I bought this computer because I did research and asked my colleagues who do similar work what they recommend. Many of them said Lenovo. I spent a little more than I have in the past for a PC because I wanted a high-functioning, fast computer that would last longer than cheaper versions. I bought a brand new unit, not a refurbished one. I spent approximately $800. On paper, it had everything I wanted. In reality, from the moment I started it, this unit was confusing, slow and disrupted my workflow nearly every second I was on it.
I also want to share that I am the purchaser of all computers and tech in my office. This computer was bought for work. I'm the Executive Director of a small non-profit, so we're not a large corporate office or anything, but we do purchase roughly 3 units a year. For what it's worth.
The problems with this computer were multiple, all of which I outline below. They range from annoying little quirks to full dysfunction. I can deal with the quirks of any manufacturer. They are not my major complaints here. I include them if they help other buyers make an informed choice.
Small stuff:
1) The charging cord does not have a light indicating whether it is actively charging or whether the battery is full. There's a very small light beside the cord but it can't be seen from the top.
2) The volume mute button similarly does not have a light indicating whether it's active or not. You have to push the button to see the control on the screen.
3) When I first booted up, I set a number passcode. That passcode worked once, then the system informed me that it wasn't going to accept passcodes any more and that I had to make a password. It literally read: 'This computer will no longer accept passcodes' or something very similar. Not a big deal but... why not? This is a funky little machine. And not in a good way.
Bigger issues that impacted my productivity:
1) It took forever to start up. The first time I thought this was just because it was brand new and needed a few minutes to get all systems running well. But no: Every time I turned it on, it took a full 5 - 6 minutes to get going. Any attempt to use any function prior to that resulted in a massive slow-down. I expect this from a dinosaur computer I've been using for years, not from a high-end PC that is less than one week old. It should be like a new car: The newer, the smoother. Here's a free tip to Lenovo: People buy new computers because they want them to work better than old computers. It's surreal to have to write that but I really don't think they understand this. If they do, they've done a poor job infusing that principle into their product.
2) Right-clicking anywhere caused the machine to freeze some applications. I pay for a MicroSoft license that is tied to my email that allows me the full Office 365 Suite on any computer. I logged in and activated this computer with 365, which is one of the two pre-installed versions it accepts (2016 also pre-installed). I then moved files from my old computer, which were on a fully functioning external hard drive, onto this computer. After transferring, no file operated in an easy manner. Even simply opening a file was often a really big ordeal and not always successful. You might think this was a MicroSoft Suite issue; I do not think so. For example, when I right-clicked any file from the menu to rename, I got the buffer wheel of death and had to CTRL-ALT-DEL to trick it into closing. I waited over four minutes one time just to see how long it would take then lost my patience. This happened EVERY TIME. Right click on a file would not work--it froze the entire MS suite. Similarly, when I right-clicked blank desktop to create a new file, same thing happened. I was not functioning in the MS suite at that time, just on the regular desktop. The result was a total breakdown in file naming, new files and file management in general. I tried multiple times on different days after restarting--it froze every time.
3) I also experienced stalling, pausing, slowness and freezing in MS PowerPoint, Word and Excel. It may be an MS Suite issue in these cases, but I have never had that happen on any other unit. This computer is the different variable, so I think it is this model.
4) Slowness also dogged my typing in the search bar on the internet. There was a 2-second lag between me typing and the characters appearing, sometimes longer. This resulted in me thinking my cursor wasn't well-aligned and trying to fix, then type again, which often led to mis-entered addresses. I have never had that issue with other computers--and certainly not units that were three days old.
5) Battery life was not as advertised. One of the reason I wanted a new computer was that my old one needs to be plugged in nearly all the time and it is not practical for my workflow. So I was happy to have 3 r 4 hours of battery life with this new unit. Nope! 1.5 hours at most even after a full charge. Most specs on this unit say 3-5 hours. I would expect the lower end of the that but this was 50% less than the lower end.
Biggest problem, which resulted in me returning it promptly:
For some reason, a massive update was required on day three of me using this computer. I was shutting it down nightly, so it's not like it was out-of-date. Plus, I had it less than one week... how out-of-date could it possibly be? The update itself was annoying but not the biggest challenge. That happened when the computer decided to restart itself even after I pre-timed a restart for 10:30pm.
Here's what happened: As I was preparing for a board meeting that was to take place four hours later, I was prompted for the update and given options to restart now or at a time of my choosing. I entered 10:30, knowing my meeting would last until 8 and I'd shut down after then. This was not a normal update that might take 20 minutes. It was at least an hour and likely more, as I would soon find out. But I thought I was in the clear, what with typing in the time I wanted it to restart and everything.
A few minutes after I picked the time to restart, I had an in-person tour of our facility (at a safe social distance). That took about an hour. When I returned to my computer, it had restarted and was at 16% progress for updates. The message under read: 'System updating. This will take a while. Computer will restart multiple times.' For the next 40 minutes, I waited. At that time, it was at a whopping 18%. I needed the PPT presentation I had created on this exact unit in less than two hours. I had not put it on a thumb drive or emailed it to myself because... well, I didn't know my brand new computer was going to restart itself in the middle of the work day so it could install massive updates on its third day of existence! WTF?
So I violated sacred law by shutting the piece of junk down in the middle of the updates because I needed my presentation. I had also decided in that very moment that I wasn't going to go to marriage counseling with this thing--I was ending it. It was already functioning terribly, so what further damage could I do to it?
It came back on and took another 20 minutes to calm itself down before I could access my presentation, which I promptly put on my hard drive and moved back to my old computer. And that is where I am typing from right now.
Lenovo's new computer makes me love my old HP.
Buyer beware!
