A perfect gift

The laptop appears to be running fine - no complaints! Good laptop for reasonable price - I should have waited a week to buy it - The very next week the laptop was on sale for $100 less!

Lenovo i3 laptop. So far so good.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Just opened for Christmas. So far so good. I like that it didn't take 9 hours to set up. Not much updating or other stuff. Case is awesome looking. Like brushed aluminum. I got this the before black friday and it was a good deal ($349, then back to $499). I should have got a couple more.

Great laptop!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop works great! It is fast and perfect for its intended use. It was an open box model, and I would not be able to tell the difference had I not known. The laptop was clean and free of blemishes. It is easy to use, and I am completely satisfied with it.

Good school laptop... so far
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a serviceable school laptop for my 6th grade child. No issues with setup and it’s been working fine. I did have to take it off S Mode. It was too limiting on software. But it was fairly painless to do. We’ll see if this outlasts the HP it replaced which only lasted almost 2 years.

Good budget laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I've had this laptop since Nov 2020. Bought as a budget laptop to use for a year or so, but it is still going strong two years later. Battery life was never the best but for $300 I have been very impressed.

Good for the price

I'm not a gamer and i don't need a big computer. I bought this for my wife and she likes it. She surfs the internet,reads the news,shops,and studies the bible. It does well for all of this. I also do our own taxes every year. We'll see how it holds up.

Good little laptop for mom
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it looks like a good little laptop for what my mom needs it for - I don't LOVE that it comes with this version of windows bc she likes to use Chrome - but I did know that going in. It was easy to set up and very lightweight! We got it on sale for $299 so I was thrilled with that.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE011UUS, for your mother. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 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. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode

Nice laptop
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With black Friday pricing, I feel like this was a really good deal. It’s lightweight but fairly sturdy. I like the Lenovo brand anyway. Only downside for me is that it’s windows 10 which I really don’t care for but it is nice that he has Alexa built-in

Great student laptops.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased three of these for my kids for Christmas to help with distance learning and other school work. They have been using school supplied Chromebooks and they never stop complaining about how bad the Chromebooks are. So far they are working very well. I did find out quickly that they ship in Windows 10 S mode which is severely limiting on what you can install and do with the laptops. I understand that it is more secure as you can only install Windows approved apps but not being able to use Chrome and other everyday tools was unbearable. Thankfully, switching out of S mode is only a few mouse clicks and doesn't cost anything. They are fast and responsive and I appreciate that they have a full-hd 1080p screen. They boot very fast and the kids have had no complaints with them using graphics intense programs like Roblox. Great value.

Budget i3 laptop well worth the $
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.it's a very responsive low end i3 laptop. It's a very good deal when u catch it on sale for under $300. My only complaint is the battery life. It only lasts for a little only an hour and a half. I like it so much that I bought a second one.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE011UUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, which within this configuration, has a battery life of up to 7 hours. 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 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.
