    Due to having and using a smartphone for all of my internet transactions and research I did not really feel the need to own a laptop. I ordered the Lenovo from researching and asking opinions. I ordered the Lenovo IdeaPad from Best Buy and received it before the date it was promised. All good things to say about Best Buy’s service. Am very satisfied with the Lenovo.

    Great computer for all your needs! I have had this computer for almost a year, it has done great so far. Very quiet. Good anti-glare screen. Battery life is still strong ~4hrs of use, although it was excellent in the beginning ~7hrs of use. The only thing to keep in mind is that you only really have 6GB of RAM because the other is hardware reserved,

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6-Inch Laptop, model number 81UT00EAUS, will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 20-seconds, thanks to is 256GB solid state hard drive. If you are getting slower boot times, whether you have switched out of S-Mode or not, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will slow boot time down. 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. Lenovo

    Bought for my 9 year old son. Can’t complain. He loves it and for the price I paid, it was a sweet deal. Screen resolution is great as well as camera. Didn’t need to adjust. User/kid-friendly and it’s not heavy. Battery life is pretty decent. Plan on keeping for him for few years and will upgrade.

    I was looking for a PC laptop to work on for schoolwork. Stumbled upon Lenovo and had read really great reviews. It is a great working laptop. I found that it automatically has a battery saving setting that turns on the fan very loudly but I did a quick internet search and it is easy to adjust the setting on this pc. Overall, it works great and it's perfect for any student.
