Is this a good work from home computer? null

I'd say NO not the model I have, it is TOO SLOW just like the tech reviews say, I have the Ryzen 3 3200 x 4 and Raedon Vega 3 slow slow slower my review: I got the Lenovo Ideapad 330 15 November 2018, no problems at all, fast enough for me. Accidentally broke screen September 2019. Thought Lenovo IP L340 was the same thing 10 months later - Wrong. I should have read the Tech Reviews as they are dead on correct. My setup is: AMD Ryzen 3 3200U Radeon Vega 3 1TB HDD 8gb Memory DVD RW **NO MicroSD slot Floor Associate at Best Buy told me the opposite of the last two Yes on the MicroSD slot (which I use extensively) Negative on the DVD RW, which like most I rarely to never use.. so to my shock upon unpacking I find the opposite. Ok, well this was the ONLY laptop in the under $500 range I could find and I needed it today, I looked for 3 days prior. Now the major complaint I have is that the unit, just as the reviews say, is extremely slow when doing things. Not only when i multitasking, but simple lone tasks as well. My drive is not overloaded, I have premium Wifi service but despite all factors, the AMD is just plain slow, too slow, I often wait several seconds for the thing to advance. Now that may sound absurd but that instant is the standard we live by today for even mid-range computers. And its constantly taking that much time, not occasionally, Its like the days of Win98 or 3.1 or what ever back in 1998. Not at all cool, imagine your self waiting several seconds at every major computing function. Difficult to upgrade is what I've read, even if it wasn't, I'm not into buying something new then immediately spending a couple hundred or 30-50% more to get it the way it should have been on day one. I've used it for almost a month now and it's just not up to par with even my 2nd previous (2016 purchase) HP laptop

That will depend on the software you will need to use on the computer and the requirements and compatibility of that software. We recommend you check with the software publisher's web sites, for the programs you will be using on your new computer, for their compatibility 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.) and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
