    I believe the bang for the buck on this is very good. Right now this may be the best buy on a laptop that would fulfill most users' requirements. I am not a gamer so I can't speak for that particular market. No touch screen, however the true HD resolution offsets a touch screen with lower resolution.

    This is a perfect computer for school and work. With quarantine, schools and works move online and this is the perfect computer to go to! The color of this computer is amazing and it functions just like an iPad but with more functionalities. Most importantly, it is very easy to easy without any guidance.

    Laptop works well, like the fact one can dim the screen to off while using external screen. My one issue, well two issues really, is that the shortcut key for the wifi control does not work. Would only work at first if the airplane mode button was on the notification side window, now it doesn't seem to work at all after having reset windows once. And a somewhat related issue is the fact that the wifi gets buggy after a while and it will show that its on, but that the wifi network supposedly gas no internet connection when its working perfectly well on the other computers. I have older Yogas and they've never had this sort of issue with the wifi. Battery life is shorter than I expected it to be, but I expect that is more due to screen size than anything else. Was the main reason I bought this unit, for the battery life. I'm disappointed in regards to its lack of reliability concerning the wifi.

    Purchased for my daughter for Christmas for school and play. Decent specs to run everyday applications. Came preloaded with Windows 10 S mode which I quickly disabled to regular home edition to allow for more granular control. Purchased during Black Friday sale which made this quite the value purchase.

    This is a very good basic laptop. I use it mainly for internet research so I multi-task heavily using many browser tabs. The performance is good. I don't use it for entertainment purposes. Keyboard & numeric keypad was one of the key selling points to me. The screen has fair resolution.

    Had this laptop for three weeks now. So far it has been great. Fast to boot up with the SSD. Took Windows 10 out of S mode and added some programs with no issues. Very light and stylish. The 256 GB hard drive capacity is enough for me. I would recommend especially at sale price I was able to get.

    Very fast for just an i3, obviously don't run games or anything. But for school work and everyday use its a nice laptop. The casing is plastic not metal (like more expensive computers) and the keyboard is not backlit. But very nice computer for the price.

    Black Friday purchase. Wanted something that would handle web surfing, more than 4 Gb of RAM and had a 1920 x 1080 screen. This laptop fits the bill perfectly. It is relatively speady for everything that I have used it for. It feels lite and does not feel cheap to me. Great purchase!!

    Great so far, fast and responsive. No way I could see paying more when this one works so well. I don't drag mine around so can't speak to how it would hold up to some abuse. Doesn't seem quite as sturdy as my daughter's $900 Mac but then it only cost 1/3 the price and fully suits my needs.

    i3 Review

    The Lenovo i3 is lightweight, starts up quickly, and is easy to use. I do wish that the charging plug was on the back. The laptops with plugs in the back seem to move more freely when compared to being plugged in on the side (which can be more restricting). I also wish there were USB ports on both sides.

    Amazing laptop! So good, I actually went back and got another one for my sister! I’ve had it for exactly a month now and it gets everything done! It’s efficient, beautiful display, and super fast! I would definitely recommend! If you can get it at the sale price, it’s even BETTER!!!!!

    Lower end specs these days for a laptop, but it is for my wife to use while searching for a new job. The performance is good enough as it will only be used for internet and basic Office tasks. Not a gaming laptop for sure.

    Lenovo IdeaPad is a great laptop at a super low price. Its built-in webcam and earphone jacks make it ideal for Zoom and similar apps. It works as expected, with a solid state, 256 GB hard drive and 8 GB memory. I couldn't find a laptop of this quality for anywhere near the price.

    This laptop is great. I open it and it boots up in about 20 secs. I like it because it is not touch screen. I had a Dell laptop that was 2 in 1 and it was slow. This laptop is speedy and I am very happy with it but I don't use it for gaming.

    It's an okay computer for the price. Battery is TERRIBLE, however. I have to put it on the charger after using it only a few hours of non-continual and use (like three hours.) That's not even videos or game or anything- literally just casual browsing. Currently I'm not sure that I would purchase given the option again, but I will update this review if I feel differently in the future.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE011UUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 7 hours, 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

    Solid computer for work and schoolwork. Don't expect it to be more than it is. If you just need a cheaper option it will get the job done. The SSD and 8gb memory will make your life a lot easier with multitasking and you shouldn't expect major slowdowns. Mainly used for documents and web browsing.

    Bought this PC for my wife to use mainly for web applications. Replaced an old chromebook. This will not be confused with a high end laptop, but for the purpose it's excellent value. Has a way better screen than most laptops in this price range with full HD resolution.
