Not worth it for the Price
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Please do not get this laptop for work it is super slow. You can’t multitask in it, once you turn it on it takes between 3-5 mins and the material definitely feels cheap. After having it for 4 days I had to return it.

Laptop disaster.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer is malfunction. We only had the laptop for 30 days and it's been to the geek squad twice. My son has been late for class twice because laptop screen goes black. We are very disappointed with Lenova. This is my first and last purchase with this brand.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop. First, 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.

Spend the extra $$ for a better laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I turned this in a day after I bought it and bought another laptop. Lack of features- you get what you pay for. Flimsy construction. If you are looking for an alternative for a Chromebook for your kids don’t get this one: it won’t last.

Keep Looking
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We could have made a better choice but it was an impulse buy for online school during the pandemic and I am less than impressed. We have already upgraded to something more capable for our son.

Worst laptop-Wi-fi setting turns off automatically
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is the worst laptop I've ever had. I purchased it for school use and every few days the Wi-fi connection turns off automatically and I have to restart the computer, run diagnostics, and so on whicch takes quite some time. Once it happened when I was taking a timed-exam and I had to restart and of course my grades fell. When I spoke to customer service they ran some diagnostics and said there is an issue and the only way to fix it is to ship it or pay more to upgrade to a different service plan. What a waste of money and since it is past the return date I am stuck with it. Please do not buy it.

Only for students
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop should only be used for students. Typing is good and overall it feels sturdy. But its weak system and the screen a terrible tn panel. Viewing angles reminded me of 20 year old laptops.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues charging/powering on your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop, model number 81W0009DUS. It is possible that resetting your computer back to original factory settings will also reset the internal battery, allowing you to once again charge the battery normally. Since you can not turn the computer on, this system is equipped with OneKey Recovery System. There is a very small pin hole on the right side of the device, right in between the headphone jack and the SD Card slot on the device. You will need a pin to push this reset button. Plug the device in. Let the battery charge for about 15 minutes. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose "Restore To Factory Default". Select this. It will delete everything from the hard drive except the original factory install of the operating system. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset. If you don't have copies of the files, try to make one before you restore by selecting "Boot to desktop" and trying to back up your files. If the problem persists after the factory reset, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop, model number 81W0009DUS, ships with the 2-Core/4-Thread AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor, with a base speed of 2.6GHz and a boost speed of up to 3.4GHz.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop, model number 81W0009DUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 7 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. There are stereo 1.5W system speakers with Dolby Audio. For the best audio experience, be sure Dolby Audio is turned on and adjusted to your personal preferences. 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. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 10 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. 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.
