Amazing Laptop!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop when it was only $299.99 and i couldn’t have made a better decision! This laptop is absolutely amazing! The display is what sold me! It’s pretty much a gaming laptop! I only use it for school, but I needed something where the display is superior as I am constantly staring at the screen! This laptop didn’t let me down! Lenovo has done it again! Thank you Beat Buy for the great deal!

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE011UUS. 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. It also has a 15.6-Inch (screen size measured diagonally) IPS LCD w/LED Backlight (Anti-glare) screen, with a refresh rate of 60Hz, a resolution of 1920 x 1080 (FHD) and a brightness level of 250 nits.

Mostly good laptop but tech compatibility issues
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nice, simple laptop - good value for the cost. Does all that I need for basic work and personal use using Microsoft, emails, teleconferencing.... touchpad is a little wonky - doesn't always respond unless you use exactly the right target. Our one complaint is that it appears incompatible with our new TCL t.v. - will not connect via HDMI cable, signal not detected, and no one in Lenovo tech dept has been able to resolve the issue. We've spent hours w/ their customer service dept. - very frustrating. Searching the web, we've read this is a common problem with the Lenovo. If this were not an issue, we would have given 5 stars.

Good for school computer
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop for my second grader who is currently doing hybrid/remote learning. He was given an HP laptop to use for the school year, but the screen size was too small and was very slow. I saw this Lenovo laptop on sale with the Black Friday deals and got it for $299. Not a bad deal! For an average user, it does exactly what we need it to do. It runs on Windows 10, which is perfect because my son uses Microsoft Teams/Office for school meetings and assignments. It doesn't have the brightest/clearest screen, but for the price at $299 it is a great laptop. Overall a great buy!

Great basic laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got the deal over Black Friday.

Great Value
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For those on the fence about this laptop, just go ahead and buy it. It's $299, with a fast 10th generation i3, 8gb ram and a solid state hard drive which makes all the difference, not to mention a 1080p display at this price point. I wouldn't expect free MS Office or worry about the free gift which is just another trial software to uninstall later. For those wondering, yes it's more than capable of surfing the net, multiple tabs, you can open your spreadsheets and more. The specs say 7.5 hour battery life, not sure if that is realistic or not, time will tell.

A good general purpose laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good all purpose laptop that boots quickly and is fast in general (probably not for hard core gamers, though). As an old school tech guy (MCSE in 1998) I'd like to see more traditional connectivity, especially an RJ-45 port for cat5 & 6 hardwired connection to my router. Having said that, I'm impressed with the speed of the wi-fi. Another thing I'm not a fan of is the Win10 S mode OS, which only allows installation of apps downloaded from the Microsoft Store. Stop trying to be Apple!!! I'll be swapping the S mode version for the Home version so I can install security software.

Disappointed with Customer Loyalty
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This has been good for me working from home and is faster than my old computer. The only issue I have is that when I save something to the desktop the icon will not show up. I have to actually go in the file manager folder and select the desktop folder to get the files. What is the purpose in that. I tried to call the Geek Squad as I thought with a new computer I had at least one free call. They would not help me and told me I would have to go into the store. With covid-19 I am not going anywhere that is not needed. I was really disappointed with them. Where is the customer loyalty?

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE011UUS. You can save a file to your desktop in Windows 10 by opening the file you want to save, go to the File Menu, click on Save As, the select Browse, select your Desktop as a location, then either name/rename the file or just click Save if you want the file name to remain the same.

Great value, good laptop.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I chose this laptop based on reviews and the price. I needed a laptop to use at home in supplement of a desktop I use for work. It is exactly what I needed for basic work functions, including accessing Canvas for a class I am teaching. It was easy to add Skype for Business and Exchange for work needs. The sound and picture are good. Comes with Windows 10s so can only use Microsoft programs. If I want to use Zoom, I will need to upgrade to Windows 10. I wish the battery life was a little longer, but it is no problem to plug in to charge.
