||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I wish i never bought this. the mouse pad is in the worst location, off to the left, the computer makes a loud buzzing noise which shouldn't happen this early on. And the software sucks, is not user friendly and you cant even download half the apps in this "safe mode". also crappy battery life, and the display looks like everything is behind a weirdly colored haze

Posted .Hello Totaldominace, we are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad 3 15 did not meet your expectations. In advance, this is a lengthy response, as we want to address your pronouncement in detail and completely. Regarding the display, this model IdeaPad 3 15 features an HD (1366x768) resolution display, with a TN panel display type, a display panel that generally has narrower viewing angles and lower color accuracy on average than other display types, such as IPS panel displays. If you prefer an image with a wider viewing angle and higher color accuracy, we recommend searching for a device that best meets your preferences before you make a purchase to help ensure you find the right solution. With the touchpad, first, determine if the model Lenovo you have has a touchpad toggle button mapped on your function row of keys at the top of the keyboard. This key should have a symbol that appears as a depiction of a touchpad with a diagonal line through it. If you have this button, try pressing it or pressing it while holding the function (Fn) key. If this does not resolve your issue, next you can adjust the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom of your Windows 11 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. Making the touchpad less sensitive may correct the issues you have experienced. If your issue persists, we recommend contacting Lenovo Tech Support at this number and give the representative information on any troubleshooting steps you have tried: 877-453-6686.

Posted .This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81X800KLUS, ships with a Integrated 35Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery, which within this model configuration, has a battery life of up to 6 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. This IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop also ships with an integrated, factory installed keyboard, which has fixed keyboard letter covers installed and should not be removed. 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 battery problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. You can also contact Lenovo Tech Support about having your integrated keyboard repaired.

Lenovo Review

Posted .Hello, NicholasB, we are sorry to hear that your IdeaPad 3 15 did not meet your expectations. Regarding the performance or speed, and the display, we recommend reviewing the specifications and features of any device you think of purchasing to ensure it meets your needs and preferences in specifications, features, and design before you invest in any computer. If you still have your IdeaPad 3 and are experiencing an issue with crashing, we recommend checking for updates through Windows Update settings. These updates can help resolve issues from operating system bugs to driver software improvements. To navigate there, select start on the taskbar (windows logo) or press the windows key on the keyboard then select Settings. In Settings, select Windows Update, and then select the Check For Updates button. Install any available updates and restart your PC if required. If you didn’t have any updates that required a restart, it’s still a good idea to restart your device to make sure any pending updates are installed. If your issue persists after these steps, we also recommend that you reach out to Lenovo Tech Support at this number for additional assistance: 877-453-6686.
