I JUST GOT THIS THING AND IT NEEDS TO LAST 4 YEARS.
How do I stop it from burning out so much memory out already?
Uninstall W10, seriously.
Windows 10?
Out of the Box?
It's just indexing the HD, it'll stop in a few hours.
>Lenovo Ideapad 320
>ok lets have a loo-
U fuked up, user.
I was planning to run Linux in a VM for any coding I had to do but this is bullshit.
Yes
Yes
>few hours
Am I supposed to give on and let it charge? I haven't even transferred my old files or installed anything new yet and already it does this shit.
It's also precompiling a lot of .NET code in the background. Let it charge overnight, it'll be "fixed" tomorrow.
Are you sure about that? I've don't some lurking around and the reviews aside from the typical shills say the laptop is absolutely terrible when it comes to performance.
I'm going into a very important year and I need to know if I should return it and get something else before it's too late.
>VM
HA
Install Alpine Linux.
What CPU?
>mfw my x200 tablet still runs Ubuntu and Windows 7 without any issues
must suck to spend money on a new piece of shit. Also, get a SSD if there wasn't one installed already from the factory.
N3350 @ 1.10 GHz.
Also 4GB RAM with Intel Celeron.
>N3350 @ 1.10 GHz.
why would you do this...
you could have bought something second hand and decent for less money
whats wrong with you, you literal nigger
>it had to restart already to install updates
If it still runs like shit, I'll honestly just take it back.
It's clear I made a mistake.
I wasn't paying that much attention at the store.
I just saw the 1TB HDD and 4GB RAM with the $400 price tag and thought it was good enough for me.
>tfw I got an 8GB, i5 thinkpad t420 with a 256gb ssd and dedicated nvidia card for 120 USD
TOPKEK YOU FUCKED UP
Yeah, I wouldn't want to run W10 on a 2c/2t mobile Celeron CPU. At all.
i assume it's too late to return the laptop so your best bet is to try and install a lighter operating system
it's a real shame user, you could have gotten so much more for $400 and still have money left for upgrades
>1TB HDD
THAT IS NOT A FEATURE, YOU LITERAL, NONFIGURATIVE NIGGER
>college freshman fucks up his first laptop purchase
It's practically a rite of passage.
>4GB RAM
LOL Computers need at least 8GB of ram to run a web browser these days :^)
jesus christ
my x200 is faster....
There are no shills on Jow Forums. Don't believe the memes you read. Jow Forums can't even get advertisers to show pictures here, why would they risk the public finding out that they're shilling in the asshole of the internet??? People are either genuine or are autistic fan boys.
>N3350
Are you memeing bro? That's a shit tier atom cpu
>updates finish installing
>still runs like shit
>turn it off out of frustration
>get the idea to wipe it so I can return it tomorrow
>turn it on again
>IT'S STILL LOADING EVEN NOW
I'VE MADE A MISTAKE. A REALLY BIG FUCKING MISTAKE.
I literally got this bitch 4 hours ago.
I'm sending it back ASAP and getting something else.
Holy shit this whole night was a massive blue ball.
These were the specs you liked?
If youre desperate for the computer keep it if you dont need it asap shop around ive had my hands on plenty of laptops that are beat to sht that are stable enough for less than you paid at best buy
>Lenovo
Chinese botnet and windows 10 botnet are on steroids together.
When did you buy it? Most places let you return before like 2 or 4 weeks
I use that laptop for work (with windows 10) and that's not my experience at all.
The only thing is the screen is less than 1920x1080.
>The only thing is the screen is less than 1920x1080.
that's the least of his problems but i can see that laptop being serviceable if it had an ssd instead of an hdd
Lol he fell for the "thinkpad is better than macbook" meme. You just wasted yur momey on a meme man.
Format that shit, even if you gonna be a fag and don't use linux format and install win10, probably is some bloat that came with the computer.
And install gentoo
>that laptop
A 2018 Ideapad 320 can have anything from a (mobile) Celeron to a (mobile) i7, as well as AMD APUs (Bristol Ridge, I think). Other specs can vary, too. So experience with them is bound to differ.
Return that clunker you fucking turd sniffer
>I wasn't paying that much attention at the store.
>settle on a Lenovo Ideapad 320 since I liked the specs and it was cheap
>Considers storage space a spec
>Considers 4 GB good enough
How? I don't think that this model came with a Celeron. Is possibly that it was cheap because is second hand? Did you buy it from a store or some nigger that stole that shit?
>I don't think that this model came with a Celeron
they did, in walmart spec
>spend 400 dollars on a laptop
>surprised when its shit
install linux or a fresh copy of windows ten minus the bloatware that came with it
It could be worse

Ouch. There is the ability to return products. But yeah you could have gotten something that ran circles around that for $400 on eBay.
>this thread is still up
Hope this thread was atleast mildly entertaining for any lurkers tonight because it sucked all kinds of ass for me tonight. The piece of shit is so bad that even reformatting it to return is taking forever.
Anyways I kept the box, receipt and all the other crap which came with it and store will let me exchange it or give me credit for something else of equal or greater value.
Any suggestions as to what to look for so I don't go through this shit again?
And please no macbooks or anything which destroys the bank.
>Any suggestions
Don't use windows on slow hardware?
get something with at least an i5 and 8 gigs of ram
Get the AMD A9 version. It's double Celeron performance.
If your options are limited to what that store offers you should post a list of example devices to choose from.
I had a similar pc some years ago, please don't use W10 with those specs.
>Lenovo Ideapad 320
lol
>burning out so much memory
lol
Stop using wangblows, retard.
OH NONONONO
Price, my dude? If you bought it for anywhere between 200-300 you got ripped off hard. Literally should've bought a thinkpad t430/t440p.
Lol you don't need a laptop for University and I'll save you some more money, you don't need University. When I went the government gave me 10k in grants for technology.
1.1 GHz
fucking dying over here
If that's windows 10 just update it to shit and leave it on for a while, and it'll sort itself out. Windows is big and spends a good amount of time just expanding, and your HDD is slow
Wow OP you got fucked, it's on sale for $200 right now
It's windows 10 telemetry, auto-defrag program and the nu-windows defender.
Just get rid of windows 10, really.
>N3350 @ 1.10 GHz.
>Also 4GB RAM with Intel Celeron.
LMAO, this shit can't run anything .
>N3350 @ 1.10 GHz.
>Also 4GB RAM with Intel Celeron.
>I just saw the 1TB HDD and 4GB RAM with the $400 price tag and thought it was good enough for me.
>$400 for N3350 and 4GB of RAM
LEL absolutely BTFO. My $200 phone is better than your calculator tier laptop
OH NO NO NO
It runs morrowind just fine
Even the consultant eager to get rid of shit, would have suggested better option.
>being this tech illiterate
Buy a Ryzen laptop this time, nigger.
>Are you sure about that? I've don't some lurking around and the reviews aside from the typical shills say the laptop is absolutely terrible when it comes to performance.
>I'm going into a very important year and I need to know if I should return it and get something else before it's too late.
Post your specs. If you don't have a decent SSD, your computer won't remain fast for four years. I to have an IdeaPad y510p. It came with am sshd which is a hard disk with an SSD cache. The SSD cache becomes useless in two years. Was pretty bad for boot times.
I got a Samsung 860 Evo 500GB SSD to replace the hard disk. It is much better now. Still, I prefer fedora over Windows now.
8th gen i5
128+ ssd
IPS
no built in graphics
is what you should get
That unironically sucks ass my 5 year old a6 is faster what the fuck are you doing?
what
>I was planning to run Linux in a VM
why VM? just dualboot
install linux
>ideapads are thinkpads
Fucking retarded macfag, I'm not surprised
use financial aid money and buy a laptop with that, its what most people do anyways if they're poor. i was able to pay for a gayman laptop with it.
Its fucking FULL of viruses, spyware, and bloat. Literally just install any linux distro and use WINE for anything you need that's windows.
Nigger it has a netbook processor.
>laptop with shit tier specs
>use WINE for anything you need that's windows
>ideapad
You're too dumb for technology. Get a Mac.
Return it and buy a used ThinkPad from ebay. Storage is cheap, so don't even consider that when buying a laptop. RAM is a bit pricy these days, but not too bad if you want a reasonable amount.
I spent $330 on my 12gb ddr4 2.7 GHz quad core 1tb hard drive, 15.6" touchscreen laptop
You got absolutely jewed
Lenovo laptops are shit. Uninstall Lenovo Vantage and it'll be way better.
You're formatting a laptop you intend to return? Holy shit OP, you know they can refuse it right? If you really like fucking yourself this badly, I can recommend Lovehoney, they make some decent dildos.
I spent £300 on a T540P with a quad core i7 and 250GB SSD. It seems like you have compulsively poor decision making.
This. "I liked the specs". I can't even.
You've been so intensely ripped off it's not even funny, just sad.
Just use Deepin linux.
>you fucking turd sniffer
This is worse than that. At least he has a useful pc for a bit. This is a pile of literal junk. I wouldn’t even run Debian on it, it’s too fucking slow.
fpbp
2 rupees for you, John
>I was planning to run Linux in a VM for any coding I had to do but this is bullshit.
That's your mistake - run linux native and virtualise windows
It is a real fucking shit laptop honestly, the i3 is astoundingly shitty, you have the slowest available speed hard drive, the webcam is basically a gameboy cam, you have enough ram for 5-10 tabs in google chrome and you have nonexistant graphics.
What are you trying to do with this laptop?
get a fuckin thinkpad. I got a T60 for $90 and paid like $200 to put a ssd in the disk drive and upgrade the ram to 16gb.
if you are not going to use any of the adobe botnets, maybe try installing linux, or just get a macbook air/pro
what the fuck is wrong with you
Hahahaha holy fuck you got fucked in the ass mate
You own a big netbook now, congrats
>buying a celeron in any year
what's it like having brain damage?
How much did you pay for it?
Quit downloading porn user.
>since I liked the specs
>N3350 @ 1.10 GHz.
>Also 4GB RAM with Intel Celeron.
This is wholly your fault
Jesus fucking Christ, these specs were already terrible in 2010, what the fuck were you thinking?
>Ideapad
That's the fucking economy line of memepads.
>i3
>4 wam
>have ideashit with intel celery
>compiling at all
topkek
Jesus christ on a stick, what the fuck were you thinking with buying absolute shit for $400 you fucking nigger?
With that kind of money you could have got
>used thinkpad T420 with a i7 Quad core upgrade and 512gb SSD
>used thinkpad x1 carbon
>A fucking used 2012 - 2013 macbook pro
Any of those things would have been lightyears better than the shit you got new
