    What a wonderful notebook! I needed a FHD notebook for portable VNC client use with two powerful desktops, and this is perfect. It has plenty horsepower, RAM, and storage for this and lots more. I love the touchpad, too. I’m thrilled that I was able to get this at a great price from Best Buy.

    Great laptop with a nice big screen. Haven't had it long but it is working great so far. Needed a full-size keyboard with numeric entry keypad which this one provided. Keyboard has a nice feel when you don't want to use the touch screen. Light weight in comparison to that which it replaced.

    Very light in weight and clear screen. Set up took a while, becuase windows, but other than that working pretty good. Touch screen is responsive and the keyboard is easy to work with. I do like the privacy webcam blocker, it's a nice touch. Haven't used the fingerprint yet. Good speed, no lag so far.

    The more I use this laptop, the more I love it. The only very teeny, tiny, minor thing that I would complain about are the internal speakers. But the ease of use, the fingerprint security check, speed & ease of use is exactly why I went with this laptop! It's perfect!

    Great computer but the battery life is a real issue , like others have mentioned. Despite all recommendations followed the battery will last approx 3.5 to 5 hrs max, not 8 as the manufacturers state. It is fast , display is excellent and the touch screen is a bonus.

      This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 82H801DQUS, ships with a Integrated 45Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery, which within this model configuration, has a battery life of up to 7 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. 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 Charge Threshold 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. You can turn off Battery Charge Threshold within the Lenovo Vantage APP installed on this computer. In Vantage select Battery Settings and turn off Battery Charge Threshold, if turned on. 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 11 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://websiteforstudents.com/how-to-find-what-is-running-in-windows-11/. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 11. 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 of your Windows 11 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

    I love the touchscreen feature, backlit keyboard, on screen keyboard option, but the audio quality and battery life are not as great as I expected. Audio could stand to be a little more powerful for a computer of this size. I had a much smaller HP that was far louder.

    I am loving my new Lenovo Ideapad. It's nice and fast and runs smooth. The only minor issue is that the battery drains pretty quickly and that can be a problem sometimes being as though I work a hybrid schedule and on my remote days, I sometimes want to work outdoors.

    I purchased this laptop for my family before Thanksgiving and use it for regular use. The price was good and even better than many later BF deals. The specifications (Intel Core i5 11th Gen - 12GB Memory - 256GB SSD) are good enough for home use and maybe are also good for some data work. Can't ask for more at this price. I have used it for a few weeks, and love the touch screen. The only thing I need time to get used to it is the keyboard. It feels good, but since this is a 15-inch laptop and it has the number keys on the right side making the keyboard not symmetrical while I have been used to the 14-inch laptop. Highly recommend.

I do not like to be misled when something pops up I think is helping learn more about my computer and it turns out to be an ad for another app, etc. Oversall, it seems to function well.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 82H801DQUS. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 ships with just two adware programs, a 30-day trial of Microsoft Office 365 (as part of Windows 11 operating system) and a 30-day trial of McAfee virus protection. Lenovo computers ship with one of the cleanest factory software installs within the consumer computer industry. If you are getting pop-up alerts, it is most likely coming from McAfee Virus Protection Software. The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 82H801DQUS, ships with a 30-day trial of McAfee Virus Protection Software installed. It will activate automatically with the initial activation of Windows 11 and protect your computer for the 30-day trial period. You do not need to use McAfee VPS. You can uninstall McAfee and use the free Windows Defender VPS that comes with Windows 11 or you can uninstall McAfee and then install your choice of any compatible 3rd party VPS. The key is to uninstall McAfee if you will not be using it, as there can only be one active VPS on the computer at a time. Here is a link to information on uninstalling McAfee from Windows:  https://service.mcafee.com/?locale=en-us&articleId=TS100162&page=shell&shell=article-view If you have questions about your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 laptop, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.
