    The other 2 reviewers must be thinking this is a gaming laptop just because of Ryzen 3 and 8 GB RAM, it is not. You can game on it but not intense graphic games. I get 6 hours sometimes more, it is not slow at all

    I bought this after my laptop of 4 years finally broke. This computer is very easy to set up and it doesn't require much. It's also a good price for the amount of storage is provides. One thing to add is that there aren't any cases for this laptop. A sleeve or carrying case may work, but there is no hard shell case.

    For those that only use a laptop/computer for checking social media, surfing the internet and minor games, this is the one for you. The only issue I've had is not having the number keyboard, but, since I'm left handed not to much of an issue . Has plenty of room for photos, word and excel files

    Our old larger lenovo was going down fast and we needed a family computer. This is smaller and very light. Decent speed for what we use it for - web surfing, office apps, etc. Comes in "S" mode which is fine but you need to turn that off to download chrome or any non windows store app.

    Well first off, the battery isn't 7-8 hours like it claims. Also, I hate the track pad. It's too big and clumsy. Other than that, it's a great buy for school or even a personal gift. It's quick and responsive, I doubt anything else in this price range would be much better at anything this does.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop, model number 81W0009DUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with up to 7 hours of battery life depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less battery life, 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. 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

    Old computer was outdated so I bought this computer since specs were miles better than my 4 year old notebook. I was surprised I was able to pick out something decent and within my budget as well! Only gave it 4 stars because there were some mandatory updates I had to do that weren't prompted by my PC on the official Lenovo support page.

    Not overly thin but not too thick. OK weight but not super light. Comes with Windows 10S which needs to be disabled to install non—approved apps such as Google Chrome. The big problem, which was likely a hardware issue, was that the touchpad didn’t work consistently.

    This came packed with good specs. I have noticed a very slow loading however. In my research I found others who stated this but one had a fix... I am going back now to find how to speed it up. No real complaints - just looking forward to getting the most out of it. Hopefully I can update my review in a week or so.
