    got this for my child for virtual learning this year. So far it is working great. It does everything we need it to and there have not been any issues. I had to switch out of the windows 10S mode so that we could use google chrome. It was easy to do but annoying that it needed to be done.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00KVUS. 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.

    The often-used up and down on keyboard are smaller than the rest, would be nice if normal size. It would be good to have ethernet port to support wired connect because I had issues with WiFi (too much wifii competition in the household). I had to get a dongle.

    It's exactly what I wanted and works exactly as I need (once I got it out of S Mode. My dinosaur of a Toshiba had a lot more memory but that was then and it's got enough onboard memory for my needs. Very happy with the purchase and Geek Squad for getting everything transferred over.⁰

    I gave the laptop a 4 star rating. I would have given it a 5 star except for the Edge operating system. It doesn’t allow me to use Chrome or Firefox as my browser. I can only use the IE browser. If I could use more browsers I would give this laptop a 5 star rating.

    This laptop is very good if you just need something for work. It also good if you want to play not so power intensive games that are a bit older than what is out there right now. I appreciate the webcam privacy tab on the laptop I can move when I'm not using the webcam.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00KVUS, ships with a 720p (HD) webcam with manual Privacy Shutter and Dual Array Microphone built in. For best webcam performance, be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer and that all of the BIOS file and drivers, including the webcam drivers, are up to date with that latest version of Windows 10. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software available on this computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue still continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help. Lenovo

    My wife got this laptop as our laptop suddenly stopped working. She originally went to Best Buy for another one but this was $30 more with more Memory and a bigger SSD drive. It is amazingly fast and a good picture for watching her Netflix and shows.
