Great value
||Posted . Owned for 7 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Was looking for a basic and capable laptop. This one fits the bill. My computer pro son couldn't believe I picked out something this good without his advice. very capable and dependable. Easy to carry from room to room or pack in a briefcase to transport to remote locations.

Lenovo loving
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for a friend they so far love it. Getting use to the pad part rather than a computer. Only thing he isn’t liking is not being able to use it to store his photos. Overall loving his new computer. Purchased the Lenovo brand because it has great reviews over some other computers.

Laptop review
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Uses Windows 10S which only allows uploads of Microsoft approved products. Couldn't upload provided free security software without switching to regular Windows 10. You can't switch back to Windows 10S once you leave. 10S supposedly provides additional safety and security protections. This is to my understanding.

Posted .Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available (and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you do not 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

Very impressive machine From awesome retailer
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have not had a windows product in many years.

Disappointed in Process
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Although the First Laptop was defective, through a long call with customer service I was able to receive another one. This of course entailed a 25 mile drive to the closest store and then another 25 miles to send back the original one. (one way). This one seems to be working correctly.

Average
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Functions for the reasons I bought it. The battery life is poor (never up to 7 hours, 4 max), even with taking the steps recommended by Lenovo. It’s not worth returning for the sale price I paid. However, I would not pay full price for this laptop.

keiths laptop
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchase got off to a rocky start. Sound card was defective after numerous tries to rectify. Best Buy gave a replacement and so far so good. Geek squad was very helpful and patient with me during this set up and transaction. Data transfer was successful and everything was there.

Broke on day 2.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this machine on sale for $299. It may be an ok machine but 2 days in I reached up and adjusted the monitor angle by grabbing it with 2 fingers by the camera and pushing it. I heard a tic and the whole screen was shattered. I may have just gotten a bad one but was leary of getting another. Best Buy to their credit took the machine back with no hassle but still decided to take a pass on it being replaced. Too bad too as I was starting to like the machine.

Great for older person with physical problems!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For me and my physical limitations, best electronic device ever. After working in the Navy over 32 years involving computers, this by far best device for me. Be careful syncs with everything on your internet. Can pose a bit of a headache until you reel in the AI capabilities.

Good everyday laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great everyday laptop. Does it's job. Cannot be too heavy user. Good for multi tasking as long as its not too much or a long time. The SSD memory is really great for everyday usage. Not worth for full price - try to compare prices for something this level (and BestBuy have a good price match policy).

HAPPY WITH MY NEW LENOVO IDEA PAD LAPTOP
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I am very satisfied with my Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15" Laptop purchased about 5 weeks ago. I use it mainly with Microsoft Word and Excel, online buying, viewing short videos, and emailing. So far, it has met or exceeded my expectations and, hopefully, it will continue to do so.

Fine for work at home tasks and home computing.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this for my daughter who indicates that it works fine for working from home and as a home system. She run MS Teams, MS Office, and Zoom frequently. So far the only issue is the overly large power plug that the system comes with. It is definitely not surge protector friendly.

Amazing, unless you get a defective one
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop was great, and at the price I got I was pretty happy but after a couple of weeks the touchpad stopped working randomly and when it does I have to attach an external mouse to complete my work. I tried updating drivers and enabling/disabling the hardware but nothing worked, I have to restart the laptop everytime for it to work. I will have to return it I think but I really liked it's performance and speed which is why it makes me sad to return it. May be I was just unlucky with this laptop so I might try out replacement.

Decent laptop...
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has proven to be a decent purchase. I wouldn't sing it's praises necessarily, but I would recommend it to a high schooler. I bought it for home purposes, which aren't much, and it's doing it's job decently.
