Fantastic value in the black Friday sales event. This is a solid laptop. The Windows 10S was too limiting for my app needs, so I converted it; the conversion was super easy. Screen is good size. Keyboard has nice tactile feel. It took me a while to realize that the mouse pad reacts best to a light single-tap rather than pressing for a full click (which seems to create a right-click result). The 256GB SSD is fast; I may regret the smaller size someday but I have off-board hard drives that should allow me to move out the less urgent files when the time comes. Battery depth is nice without being amazing. I think it gives me about 6 hours or so, but I don't use many of the battery management options. The video camera comes with a handy slider to block
it. The keyboard has no backlight, so that makes using it in a low-light situation a bit harder since I'm not a touch typist :(
The function keys (F1, F2 etc) all seem to require pressing the Fn key to activate the usual software actions; their default setting is to perform the laptop function alternates (increase/decrease volume, screen brightness, etc). This might be selectable, but I haven't found that yet. The number keypad is handy for data entry. Overall, a delightful laptop at an amazing price. Two thumbs up.

I love this laptop. Lightweight, speedy, easy to hook up and has a sleek design. Also easy to customize, so you can make it your own. The price wasn't too bad either. Well made product.

I needed a laptop to replace an old desktop. It was on sale for $299. Solid state hard drive with 256G was all I really needed. Boots fast and can go from app to app quickly. So far so good.

Laptop is good for the price. Got it on a black friday deal for about ~$330
The build is not excellent and slightly on the flimsy side.
Hate the windows s mode and have to switch out of it immediately.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE011UUS. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store.

Easy to use and easy set up. I like the feel of the key board and the movement of the keys are gentle. Camera is nice for video calls and the volume is louder and clearer than I expected. I bought this on sale. I'm not very techy so I was glad that the voice activated machine was able to help me set this up. I am still not too familiar with the S mode function but it doesn't allow for chrome to be installed or else S mode is deactivated. I also cannot put the virus protection on while in S mode so I'm still researching. Also this laptop is lightweight and I wanted something that wasn't to heavy. Worth the price. First Leneovo purchase.

I had problems with this order. Best buy told me that it was lost after more than 10 days of waiting. A great customer service agent was able to really help me after trying to get help for days. He understood my situation, this was a gift that was going to be sent out of the country and I needed to have it before I traveled i got a replacement in 3 days just in time. A few days after, the laptop that was "Lost" arrived as well. Because it was a great computer I kept that one as well. This is a very good laptop, it is fast, has a great resolution, large screen, is very light, beautiful, powerful enough to even play games.
