Bought this computer with good expectations since the specs were awesome. Bought the computer and was met with a shotty screen where the backlight washes out the task bar. It was also really slow opening applications/turning on, kept logging me out of OneDrive, and had a short battery life.
This computer would be fine for an elementary school or middle school student doing online work, but not for anyone doing multi-tasking or college/business work.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop, model number 81W0009DUS, ships with a beautiful 14-Inch (screen size measured diagonally) LCD w/LED Backlight (Anti-glare) screen, with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) and a brightness level of 250 nits. The IdeaPad 3 14 will boot from off to the Windows 10 desktop in less than 40-seconds. If you are experiencing slower boot times, 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.

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the onboard microphone. be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer, then update all of the BIOS files and drivers up to that latest version of Windows 10. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software available on this computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.

So simple to set up and operate it almost makes using Windows 10 pleasurable. Installation of Microsoft 365 is a breeze and it integrates seamlessly with everything. Having used PCs ever since the bygone era of MS-DOS (Google it, youngsters!) I am very impressed with this product. Outstanding value for occasional use when Apple IOS devices cannot cut it. Excel, for example. Highly recommended.

I got this for my ten year-old, as he enters 5th grade. I wanted something he can do remote learning on, but also one he likes to use in general. This one has got a good CPU, a decent amount of RAM and surprisingly good graphics for the price. He does report some lag in Minecraft and Roblox, but I haven't gone in to remove his shovelware yet...

Be sure your new computer can support the software/games you will need to use.

I have had this computer for almost a year, August will make it a year. Bought it for school and only use it for school. I have to keep it plugged in just to use it for more than an hour if I have zoom meetings for class. I am in the last year of school and having the computer not working was not on the agenda. I shouldn’t have to wait around for my computer to decide to let me log in or scroll on when doing research and I shouldn’t have to worry about whether or not it will time out when turning in assignments due to the lagging of the computer. Sucks to have internet that works and a computer that doesn’t. Not worth the $400, now I have to turn around and buy a whole new laptop. Guess that’s what I get for going the cheaper route, lesson learned.

Lenovo - IdeaPad 3 14" Laptop - AMD Ryzen 3 3250U - 8GB Memory - 1TB HDD - Abyss Blue is very slow and I thought it was way overpriced but I bought it anyways. I did not know that it came with Microsoft user only but thankfully there was a way to bypass that built-in. Have not used the camera yet so I can not comment on it. I like the screen is easy to see .
