A:AnswerHey Kelly,
It depends on the specific needs of the college student, along with any software that may be needed for school. However, if this IdeaPad's use is for light multitasking, web-based workloads and using Office apps, this laptop could work well for you, as it has for other students using their IdeaPad similarly.

A:AnswerHey Lulu,
Windows 11 Home does not support BitLocker encryption, but there is a way to password protect documents (explained at this Microsoft Support site: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/protect-a-document-with-a-password-05084cc3-300d-4c1a-8416-38d3e37d6826), and you can password protect folders by attempting the following steps:
Right-click on the folder you want to keep safe, and a menu will pop up. Choose "Properties" from that menu.
Inside the Properties window, look for the "Advanced" option and click on it.
You'll see a checkbox labeled "Encrypt contents to secure data." Tick that box, and then hit the "OK" button.
After you hit "Apply," a little window might show up asking if you want to back up your file. You can choose what you want to do, and then close the window.
If you're encrypting a whole folder, you might get asked if you want to password-protect all the folders inside it too. Just decide and click "OK."
Now, your folder is protected with a password linked to your account. You'll notice a little padlock symbol indicating this. Also, any new stuff you add to that folder will automatically be encrypted too.
Remember, these files are secured under your username and linked to your Windows account. They'll only stay protected if someone tries to access them with a different account on your computer. If someone gets into your account, though, this password protection will be ineffective.

A:AnswerHey nate,
Memory cannot be expanded, as it is soldered to the systemboard, but you can expand storage by swapping out the preinstalled 256GB drive for one of higher capacity using the system's single M.2 2280 PCIe® 3.0 x2 slot.
