Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:SpeedCons mentioned:Display, DullRating 4 out of 5 stars with 1 review
Only 2 negatives.... but all positives after that!
|Posted .Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.Features
Quality4 out of 5Value5 out of 5Ease of Use5 out of 5Pros mentioned:SpeedCons mentioned:Display, DullListen, I wanted to love this, but 2 things fell short. A big one, is the battery. It can lose 10% in 15 minutes, and I'll only have 3 windows open. That's RIDICULOUS. If you don't mind being attached to an outlet, then go for it. The second is the visual. It's very dull, no vibrancy, almost gray. I understand the "anti glare" screen is a contributing factor, but no matter what adjustments I make, it's so boring and drab. It's like the depressing winter with no sunshine. I'd rather have a screen with glare and bright colors. I wish I would've been able to see this laptop in person before purchasing, because I'd known what I was getting myself into, albeit the battery, since you can only figure that one out by either A. purchasing it yourself, or B. reading the reviews. When I purchased this, there was only one review, so I took a leap of faith because the price was sooooo good. I actually received it almost 2 weeks before the expected date, which is a BRAVO to Best Buy on their end. If you don't mind the listed negs above, then go for it! It is truly an amazing, fast laptop! I wanted the Lenovo Yoga that was on sale for $550, but I sat too long and that price bounced back to to the original $699.99, so that's why I decided to scoop this up at the AMAZING $349.99 price. You, literally, can't beat that. I bought it for school, so I expect it will live up to my expectations. I also purchased the Canon printer that was only 60 bucks when you bundled the 2 together (normally $90) and I'm really impressed with that guy! Plus you get a black AND color cartridge with it (those alone are about $60, so you basically get the printer for free). I don't want my review to hold you back, as long as you're cool with the 2 things listed above, and you won't be disappointed. Have a SAFE and happy holiday season :) Peace & happiness to you all!

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, 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. This model ships with a 15.6-Inch (screen size measured diagonally) TN, LCD w/LED Backlight (Anti-glare) screen, with a resolution of 1366 X 768 (HD) and a brightness level of 220 nits. 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.

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 .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.

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.
