Is the IdeaPad 1i good enough for schoolwork?

Yes for writing, web research and video calls. It is not suited to heavy multitasking, large spreadsheets or any kind of gaming or editing.

Can I upgrade the RAM or storage?

RAM is soldered on most IdeaPad 1i models, so buy the 8GB version if you need headroom. Storage is eMMC on the base model, which is not a standard user-replaceable drive.

Why is the price so low?

The Celeron processor, 4GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC storage are budget parts, and the 1366 x 768 screen is below current standards. That is what keeps the cost down.

Does it have a touchscreen?

Some IdeaPad 1i configurations ship with a touchscreen and some do not. Check the exact listing before buying if touch matters to you.

What comes in the box?

The laptop and its power adapter. It does not include a mouse, sleeve or Microsoft Office license beyond any trial preinstalled.

Which configuration should I pick?

Choose 8GB of RAM and a 256GB drive if you can, since the 4GB and 64GB base model runs out of headroom quickly. The 16GB and 512GB versions cost more but last longer.
