Fantastic bargain PC if under $500
|Posted .Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5My wife and I purchased this for my mother in law for a Christmas gift and she could not be happier. She doesnt use her laptop for anything demanding, shes retired and uses it for watching things online, playing some games, browsing, Microsoft Office, email and downloading books for her e-reader. Nothing crazy, but recently her laptop broke so she needed a replacement. She was absolutely ecstatic with this as a gift, she couldnt be happier. This PC does come with Windows 10 in S-mode, which is probably a good thing for most kids getting a laptop at this price(i imagine this is quite a popular College/Highschool laptop or work from home) but can easily be upgraded to normal Windows 10 Home. Its fast, has a solid Intel i5 10th gen processor which is plenty for everyday tasks, and 12GB RAM which is great moving forward. Generally laptops at this price have lower RAM which makes it one of the contributing factors to slowing down after a few years, but with 12GB DDR4 it should be fine. That being said, 4GB of the 12GB RAM is soldered to the motherboard, with the other 8GB being removable in a SODIMM slot. Lenovo claims this slot can only support up to 8GB so upgrade at your own discretion...my guess would be you could put a 16gb stick in and have 20gb RAM but I didnt test it, however the i5 can support up to 64gb so it would matter if the motherboard can support more then 8gb in the slot, the CPU will. The NVMe SSD is a 256GB which is definitely on the smaller side, after windows and office installations your under 200GB so keep that in mind. However, the NVMe can be easily upgraded with a little know how, you will however have to clone the drive in another computer, or using an external NVMe adapter or by greating a full backup to a flash drive so keep that in mind. However opening the computer to so the upgrade is quite easy as long as you have a proper screwdriver. All in all, this is an unbelievable bargain at the BFCM price of $350 which is what I paid for it, but i would say its fair value up to the $450 area, anything more then that I would explore options with better upgradability(2 RAM slots) or more native storage.

Overall big bang for your buck BUT buy it on sale
|Posted .Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I purchased this because of the price point during a cyber deal/black Friday sale for 349.99 (regularly 599.99) After I purchased it I started reading questionable reviews which concerned me....Once we got the laptop, opened it and started using it our thoughts are: (keep in mind we are not picky -just normal consumers) Pros-Price point for a new name brand laptop very good! Sleek and lightweight for our 10 year old to have and own. Its really fast, at least for us really fast-(it replaced and older laptop which was really struggling with the at home school learning platform. Cons: The video camera is (as previously reviewed by others) not great but really, very few laptops (even my much more expensive ones) are not much better. NOT A DEAL BREAKER, don't let this scare you from buying!! Not HD resolution-BUT pretty good. My biggest issue is this Blocky-Chunky wall plug just odd and you may not be able to use the same outlet for two plugs, kind of obtrusive. I had to use an extension cord to make sure I could get 2 things plugged into my closest outlet. Closing thoughts-For a basic laptop with a modern look, backed by the Lenovo name and purchasing from Best Buy with GREAT CONSUMER CUSTOMER SERVICE WE BOUGHT WITH CONFIDENCE AND SO SHOULD YOU. Yes on you purchasing it at 349.99 sale price. (not 599 retail) A- or B+ rating.

Battery does not last long
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality2 out of 5Value2 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5I bought this for my daughter who is in middle school. Saw it was a great black Friday deal on it and I like that it has an intel core i5 like my desktop. Looks good I thought. Took it out of box and first thing I noticed was the plug. I attached a photo. I thought that was weird to have the big thing like that. Anyways I set it up and charged it while it was shut off for the rest of the evening til the next day. My daughter used it for her zoom classes and to do homework online. She came out after about 2.5hrs complaining how it’s almost dead and that her google chromebook lasted way longer. SMH. I was shocked. I tried lowering the display brightness but it was still the same thing the next day.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS. This model ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 7 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less battery life, First, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery conservation Mode is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 10 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom left of your Windows 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Posted .Hello, thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15"laptop model # 81WE011UUS. This unit has a battery life rated up to 7.5 hours.If you are getting substantially less battery life, please adjust your screen brightness settings. A setting of 100% brightness will drain your battery much faster than a lower setting. We recommend setting the screen brightness to some value below 100% that is still comfortable for you to view. Next be sure Battery conservation Mode is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer.

Q: Questionwhat is S mode?
Asked by je.
- A:Answer Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available (and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you do not need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost.

You will see this link. https://laptoping.com/cpus/product/intel-core-i5-1035g1/ It says, The Intel UHD (G1) graphics of the Core i5-1035G1 brings better game rendering performance than the previous UHD 620, since it has 36 graphics processing units instead of previous 24. Anyway, both the UHD G1 and UHD 620 are basic graphics solutions. They are suitable only for light games and possibly for playing some heavier games on the lowest graphics detail settings. For more info on the Intel UHD G1 and videos of gameplays on it, you can visit this Intel UHD G1 page.
