Lenovo N23 2-in-1 Convertible Laptop (2017), 11.6" Touchscreen HD IPS Display, Intel Celeron Dual Core Processor Up to 2.5 GHz, 4GB RAM, 32GB SSD, Webcam, Bluetooth, Windows 10 Professional

Out of the box it needed 1709 updates to the windows operating system. Not enough memory to finish the updates

So I already have a Dell Chromebook 11 (which I love), but as a college student taking language classes I needed to be able to run an audio software that's not chrome compatible. I also was looking for something to take notes on, but I didn't need all the bells and whistles. I just needed at least 4 GB of RAM, and not much other memory as I keep most things in Google drive.PROS:-long battery life-well built exterior (hinges, keyboard--crumb resistant, folds nicely, perfect size). I actually love almost everything about the design- mic, camera built in, but also has headphone jack-HDMI port, 3 USB ports-nice bright and responsive screens (the lighting in my pictures don't do it justice, sorry)- priceSo why the 3 stars?CONS:- charging light on the keyboard face, meaning you don't now when it's fully charged without opening it- you can't access the ports on the side without flipping little plastic pieces out of the way (may not bother everyone though)- will not connect to the internet, or stay connected. I live alone and have my own WiFi. This thing loses connection every 30 seconds, when my phone and Chromebook run perfectly. When it does connect, it runs incredibly slowly and pages don't load correctly, even with one tab open. I suspect the processor is the issue, but a new processor alone costs as much as this whole laptop (and i haven't looked to see if it would need a new motherboard in order to switch out the processor). I had to write this review on my phone because it couldn't load the Amazon home page.- it comes with so much bloat software that even after uninstalling everything I could, the memory is 2/3 full. (Some of this is gaming software you can't uninstall; if I can't check my email, I don't think I'll be playing Xbox games on here) it does give you an option to insert a micro SD card, which I haven't tried yet.This thing is built beautifully, and I wish it would just run properly. I will try it on other internet sources and try to make it work, but I expect it will have to go back.If you want a 2 in 1, bite the bullet and get a more expensive model with an i5 processor. If you just want a cheap starter computer for daily tasks, look into the Chromebooks. Hope this helps!

Only have it for a few days now, I like the fact that it has over 32gb of storage inclusive of windows; upon purchasing I was expecting the reverse. The battery is life ok, and quickly charge and runs at ok speed for light weight use , the Bluetooth capability is a plus. Made from good quality material.The down side thou, it easily get warm and has no built in fan, the power notification lights are above the keyboard, in order to no if computer is at sleep or charging you have to open the lid. You only get about 10" of display screen. I bought a like new version, got figure prints on screen and dust on computer, damn dude you could've atleast clean up the system before you sell it😁Overall great for the price so far.

This little computer has been a wonderful tool for our home health company in general, however I feel the need to place this warning here for people looking to buy this specific model. We have 11 of these computers, all with absolutely minimal local use/storage (everything is cloud-based) and now none of them can run the latest windows update due to lack of space. Our local IT guys have let us know that it is not possible to upgrade the hard drive either, as the motherboard can't handle anything bigger than 32Gb.TL;DR - This particular unit is already obsolete, because windows 10 alone requires more than 32 Gb of local space. If you bump up to the 64 or preferably 128 Gb model - it's a great, durable little computer. Fantastic for home health professionals.

I bought the Windows 10 version. I was looking for a small, lightweight laptop to use for the internet and when writing. Full disclosure, I work in IT, so I know my tech. And I knew that this was not a powerful computer and knew going in that even getting it to run OpenOffice well was unlikely. I've been a bit surprised by how well it does, given it's limited hardware, and find that it is perfect for my use. I've done a lot of writing on it and like the keyboard, but ultimately had to make some changes to the OS.Pros:- good, responsive keyboard- small, light, portable- surprisingly good performance (for lightweight tasks)- tablet mode is a nice feature, although I haven't used it muchCons:- touchpad is terrible, doesn't respond well to tap-to-click and difficult to scroll with- HD is too small- Windows 10 (more on that in a moment)- rubber port covers: they're a great idea, but they dangle in the way when you use the ports (including the AC jack), and the microSD card sticks out of its slot far enough that the cover won't go over it, so if you want to expand the storage that way you have to always deal with danging cover (or cut it off)I'm not a fan of Windows to begin with, but trying to run it off a 32GB hard drive was never going to work well, especially since the OS itself takes up 20+GB. I did what I could to clean it up and remove unneeded elements, but it still left me with little storage space. The real problem came when I ran Windows Updates and it wanted to install the Fall Creator's Update, but lacked enough space to do so. You can plug in a USB flash drive and let Windows use that extra space to download and install large updates, and it does work...but not easily/well. I can't believe that most non-technical folks could figure out how to do that, and as evidence a friend who has this same laptop didn't even know it was possible.I ultimately removed Win10 altogether and replaced it with Ubuntu (17.10), my personal preference. That install was painless and all the hardware worked without any issues. Ubuntu takes up much less HD space (I have 25GB free now even with some programs installed). Unfortunately, Ubuntu is a bit memory intensive and would use 70+% of the RAM just for the OS. I ended up installing the Budgie desktop and use it instead, and found that the system now uses approx. 15-20% less RAM, which is great. I'm much happier using it with the Ubuntu/Budgie mix than I was with Win10, and as long as I don't ask too much from it (ie: don't open dozens of browser tabs) it works great and I've chosen to sit and work with it every evening instead of one of my more powerful laptops because I like it's size/feel.
