SSD makes huge difference
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would never suggest Ryzen 3 or i3 CPU even for home PC, but SSD really boosts performance enough to make weak CPU largely irrelevant for internet browsing and other home use. My parents love this laptop, and this was the best deal I could find for them for the money at the time or their urgent need. I hope it serves them long time.

Nice for remote working
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used only about a month so not know much about the system and only used for remote working. So far so good. I haven't find any issue but I notice many unnecessary (for me it seems unnecessary) apps and programs and keep notify to purchase so little annoyed but most of the system were fine.

College basics
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a great computer for college students minus a lack of hard shell cases. Definitely not what you want for someone who is clumsy. The battery holds a decent charge and the startup is quick. The biggest complaint is the frame. Its very light and can easily get chipped or cracked.

Laptop has cortana embedded in the os
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I would really like this laptop if it didn’t have cortana embedded in it. I have tried to disable it but it only works so well. I had to cover my laptop camera because the camera turns on and records randomly whenever it is on. I’m sure the microphone does the same. Not a crazy conspiracy, it’s the truth. I’m just not sure why a laptop would be built like this? Also it has already crashed a few times and the second day I had it it did a Microsoft update and I had to reset the pin, already. That seemed a bit much to me. I have almost the same laptop as a work laptop (only a larger screen) And it’s also pretty good, but we also have that camera covered and for the same reason. I have nothing to hid, but I don’t like the thought that someone somewhere whom I don’t know could be watching my work on my laptop and listening to what goes on in my home or work. Call me old fashioned but really?? I’m not dumb, I know that for the last two decades nothing said in email, text, no search, etc. is confidential, everything is stored. I know that. But listening and recording without authorization and warrant seems illegal and immoral to me. Not a fan.

Posted .Here is a link to instructions for permanently disabling Cortana on a Windows 10 computer:  https://superuser.com/questions/949569/can-i-completely-disable-cortana-on-windows-10. This laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6-Inch laptop, model number 81UT00EAUS, ships with Windows 10 S-Mode Operating System and should not crash. Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. 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.

Ok
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Works very well, but service is terrible, every time I go to the store, I am told, we don't have it, but can order it for you. You might as well shut down the store and I will buy it on Amazon. Do not like the mandate of wearing a mask. Taking away my privilege does not set well.

Great for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.A very reasonably priced laptop for basic computing needs. The specs that stick out to me for describing this as "basic needs" is 8GB of RAM, and 256GB SSD. Both are reasonable in today's needs. Seems like one of the goals of this laptop is to keep an aesthetically pleasing design.

Battery life and speakers need improvement
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I don't use daily but when I do, am disappointed on how often the battery needs charging.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6-Inch Laptop, model number 81UT00EAUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 4 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. 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.
