||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.We’ve had this laptop three weeks and it’s dead. After a system update, it turned into a black screen and never came back on. Took it to a computer repair shop and they said the motherboard died and it would be over $300 to repair it. Such a horrible laptop!

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81W1018XUS. This model ships with Windows 10 Home in S mode, 64-bit, English Version Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. Even if you have switched out of S-Mode to Windows 10 Home, 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.

Disposable computer
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Computer worked goon in the beginning, with no problems. I’ve had this laptop for one year and six months now. Now the laptop is super slow, when you think of slow think slower then slow. To open the internet browser takes about 5-8 minutes, to open a folder/file about the same thing. Everything is updated, and ram memory is not even 20 percent full. I have no large programs/files, music, or videos Download it on the computer. I have no virus on the computer as well. If you want a computer to last one year this is the one.
