Lenovo - IdeaPad 3 15" Touch Screen Laptop - Intel Core i5-1035G1 - 12GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Platinum Grey

My 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.

I 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.

I 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.

Laptop its self was so much better than expected! Got this for cyber monday special and its soooo nice. But the delivery service.... sooo lucky that my laptop wasnt delivered broken! Check out the pics of how this laptop was handled by UPS!

I recently bought this during the sale the laptop is cool its an i5 and touch screen big and wide screen Its fast then my other laptop but the battery itself is no issue for me it lasts around 2.5hrs or 3 the most but I don't mind it the storage ill upgrade my self since I know how too other than that this computer was around my budget so its a good one !

Ideapad3 is a good product. Working to understand maximum use of all features.

This laptop has great configuration which will make it a feel of high end laptop for an economic price. Silver color makes it look rich and touch screen capabilities makes it easy to use

It is fast and its touch screen facilitates access and makes its use more interactive. I want to increase your storage capacity. A good laptop at a good price.
