Q: WHAT IS THE PROCESSOR SPEED

A: The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, ships with the 10th Gen 4-Core/8-Thread Intel Core i5-1035G1 processor, with a base speed of 1.0GHz and a Turbo Boost Speed of up to 3.6GHz.

Q: Does this laptop allow the option to switch out of S mode to regular Windows 10 Home?

A: Yes. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't 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. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode

Q: Can I add an internal DVD-ROM?

A: The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, is not user upgradable. A certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty. We recommend you consult your certified technician for your upgrade options. There is no knockout available for an internal CD/DVD drive on this model. You can use an external, USB-based Windows 10 compatible CD/DVD drive with this laptop.

Q: Does this laptop have an ethernet cable port?

A: Although there is no ethernet port built in to the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, you can connect this laptop to an ethernet cable by using a USB to ethernet adapter.

Q: Does this laptop have an anti-glare screen?

A: Hello, thanks for your question. Yes the Lenovo Ideapad 3 17" laptop model # 81WF004CUS ships with an anti-glare screen.

Q: Does this laptop come with a Charging Cable?

A: No, they don't. We received a cord with a wall plug on one side, and a 3-holed something or other on the other side, but nothing to plug into the computer.

Q: Why do you make a laptop that isn't easily upgradeable, but then put a junk spinning hard drive in it instead of an SSD?

A: I highly recommend dumping the 5400 rpm junk drive, it is very slow and makes an otherwise acceptable laptop a real dog. I recommend the Samsung 870 EVO SSD SATA Drive, it is as fast as the interface will allow, and fits the drive slot. (About $120) You will need to clone the 5400 drive to the SSD. Easeus.com has a good, paid program, but there are very good free programs. To clone the drive you will need USB to SATA interface cables. Some tips, after you have cloned the disk; before starting the replacement, remove the power. Remove all screws from the back, use a "pick" to un-snap the back. Once open, disconnect the battery connector, (you shouldn't need to do this as the drives are "hot-swappable") If you don't recognize the hard drive, you should probably stop now. Remove four screws from the frame that mounts the drive, remove the four screws that mount the drive in the frame. Disconnect the SATA connector, be careful, it is not sturdy. Connect the SSD. Reverse the process using the SSD and button up the case. Ta-Da. Although Lenovo says that you can only upgrade the memory to a miserable 12Gb, (4Gb soldered in and 8Gb replaceable) you can go to Cruical.com and they have a 16GB memory card (About $90) that will boost the memory to 20GB and make a noticeable improvement in performance. If you bought this laptop for $500 and spent $200 to make it quick enough, you probably did well. It is otherwise thin and light. I really like it.

Q: Does this computer use a mouse or only a touchpad?

A: The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, ships with a touchpad built in. You can use a compatible mouse with this laptop, which would be sold separately.
