Q: does this have an anti-virus installed ?
A: The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81X800ECUS, ships with a 30-day trial of McAfee Virus Protection Software installed. It will activate automatically with the initial activation of Windows 10 and protect your computer for the 30-day trial period. You do not need to use McAfee VPS. You can uninstall McAfee and use the free Windows Defender VPS that comes with Windows 10 or you can uninstall McAfee and then install your choice of any compatible 3rd party VPS. The key is to uninstall McAfee if you will not be using it, as there can only be one active VPS on the computer at a time. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows 10: https://service.mcafee.com/webcenter/portal/oracle/webcenter/page/scopedMD/s55728c97_466d_4ddb_952d_05484ea932c6/Page29.jspx?wc.contextURL=%2Fspaces%2Fcp&articleId=TS101331&_afrLoop=1355161020222084&leftWidth=0%25&showFooter=false&showHeader=false&rightWidth=0%25¢erWidth=100%25#!%40%40%3FshowFooter%3Dfalse%26_afrLoop%3D1355161020222084%26articleId%3DTS101331%26leftWidth%3D0%2525%26showHeader%3Dfalse%26wc.contextURL%3D%252Fspaces%252Fcp%26rightWidth%3D0%2525%26centerWidth%3D100%2525%26_adf.ctrl-state%3Dx25crirbo_9
Q: Can this laptop be used for coding?
A: Yes, the processor in this laptop should be more than capable for most programming languages. Though, if you plan on doing very graphics intense programming like video game development or smartphone app development, you may want to buy a better laptop with an integrated graphics card. Keep in mind that this laptop's screen is only 720p, you may want to upgrade to a different laptop with a 1080p screen to have more screen real-estate for your applications. - Professional software engineer
Q: Can I transfer data like excel, word and power point to this new computer Thanks
A: You will need Microsoft Office to be able to open Excel, Word an PowerPoint files on this Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 laptop. There is a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 included as part of the Windows 10 operating system. In order to keep the program active after the trial period, you will need to purchase a product key. You will not need to download any additional software.

Q: would this be a good beginner gaming laptop
A: You can see for yourself what gaming on this laptop will look like across various games by searching Youtube for "i3 1115G4 gaming". As you'll see, it can definitely play a lot of games on LOW graphics settings with a decent framerate, but it's not a great gaming experience. If you really want a good beginner gaming laptop go with one that has an integrated graphics card like the Nvidia GTX 1650. The cheapest gaming laptops out there right now are around $700.
Q: Is this a suitable laptop for students?
A: I would say so. With 8gigs of ram the i3 does pretty well. It's not a gaming laptop that's for sure. It's great for web surfing, emails, YouTube, and typing. I really like the full keyboard also.
