Easy as ABC and 123...
This laptop was almost plug and play. Super easy, frustration free set up. It runs my multiple work programs simultaneously without any hitches. No issues with my hobbies of streaming videos, podcasts, and using Design Space to play with my Cricut. I love the touch screen and flipping the screen backwards about 300° to prop up to watch movies when I travel. My only wish is that the screen had more nits (this one has 250).

Good when not frozen, BSOD within first few uses
Laptop works great when it works. Within 2 weeks of buying it, it has completely frozen and had to be force restarted 4 times. I had only installed one or two things, like chrome. It is currently away at the Lenovo repair center. Brand new laptop and is broken from the factory! Ill update my review if it comes back and works better. Idk whether to leave a good or bad review, maybe it was just my luck? Seems like a good laptop aside from the freezing.

    Excellent Fast and slick design
    The laptop is excellent. The hingr design is well designed making the opening and closing very smooth. The design is slick, simple, and appealing. The fingerprint reader is great, makes it easy to login. Also the camera has a on and off slider allowing us to adjust to our liking and giving privacy.

    Lenovo IdeaPad 2-1 model
    Very fast and powerful for a 2-1. I haven't historically had much luck with touch screen laptops but this one is definitely showing promise. The pen is awesome and literally always in my hand while using the machine. So practical.

    Runs my music and photo editing stuff beautifully
    This is the best laptop I have ever owned. (I've owned a lot over the past 25 years.) I use it for music production, and photo editing. With the 16GB of memory, and the speedy processor, my plugins for my music program run like lightning. My previous laptop (from a well-known brand,) was crashing constantly if I even loaded a Photoshop preset. My only complaints are the low battery life (probably due to the high memory usage of my software,) and the 256GB SSD was pretty much only 160GB because of operating system files, and antivirus, so I have to install my programs on the HDD, (which is substantially slower.) But as an overall, I highly recommend this system. I would spring for the 512GB SSD if I were you. Wish I had. Beyond that, if my son wants a gaming computer for his birthday, this will be the one I buy him!

    10/10!!
    Super solid laptop! I wanted something faster and powerful so I can use designing software and maybe play some games. This doesn't disappoint! Haven't had it lag out once and I've played genshin impact more than before. You cannot go wrong with this laptop whether you're into gaming or software design or just basic office use. It'll meet your expectations on whatever the use!

    A Unicorn. Excellent General Purpose Laptop.
    I might have found a unicorn. An excellent general purpose laptop for work, programming, school, and even some lightweight gaming. If you're looking for a laptop in the $1,000 price range, then i highly recommend.

    Amazingly fast laptop
    After 5 years of having a painfully slow Mac Desktop, I am pleased to say the Lenovo legion is everything I could have hopped for and more. It opens tabs up super fast, it's seamless, and it can run more than two chrome tabs unlike my other computer. I can finally play all of my Steam video games without it freezing or crashing. My productivity has never been higher and I highly recommend this laptop to college bound students, starved gamers, and anyone who wants a great laptop.

    Desktop performance in a small package.
    Perfect gaming rig for someone who loves to play games on the road or who doesn't have the space for a desktop. It runs all of my games in ultra with no issues or hesitations.

    A really great machine that's affordable
    This computer is a very strong machine that delivers the performance i needed at a great price. I really like the Legion dashboard screen that allows me to see hardware utilization and control performance. The backlit keyboard is quiet to the touch (I personally despise loud mechanical key sounds) and the adjustable brightness helps greatly at night, it doesn't have RGB but i didn't need it. The fan can be loud at times when I'm playing a game, but the computer doesn't ever get too hot so I'll take that too. All in all a great machine, I'm happy.

    What a machine!
    What a machine! Looking at other reviews before purchasing, one of the cons I saw more than once was short battery life. I personally have not experienced that unless this issue has been resolved since those reviews. So happy we went with the 16gb upgrade. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Good all around laptop
    The i7 processor and 2060 graphics card really impressed me in terms of performance considering how loud the fans are. I have no issues playing games and still beaing ablo to clearly hear the game with the fan on high. The 17 inch display was a nice upgrade for me - makes simple tasks like watching videos more enjoyable. Heavier than the 15" model for sure, and doesnt fit in backpacks as well though. I like it quite a bit. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    powerful computer, but with some caveats
    keyboard is a little flimsier than the traditional lenovo quality, but it's okay. the speaker is a little tinny and not quite as good as my previous ROG machine, but that's also not a horrible tradeoff, since i use headphones most of the time, anyways. otherwise, a very powerful machine that's more than capable of running both cpu-intensive scientific computing programs and gpu-intensive games [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]

    Love it
    Love the product. I really have 0 complaint especially when I payed 600$ for the laptop. It's not the most premium build quality laptop, but again, that's when I'm comparing to stuff like macbook or XPS and they will cost at least twice as much.
