||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I liked everything about this laptop but the screen resolution and color quality, which were both lacking a great deal.

I would recommend this to a friendNot a good value.
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The performance of the laptop is equivalent to the cost of the product. There are glaring issues though. The trackpad is very unreliable. In addition, the screen touch functionality is practically broken. You press down in one area, it registers it at another.

Posted .We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS. This laptop 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. Even if you have switched out of S-Mode, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. 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.

Terrible purchase
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This computer is a dud. Only two months old and it won't turn on, won't turn off, and only has a battery life of a little over an hour. I am not happy with it and would never buy another Lenovo.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend Not worth it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Microphone stopped working after a week. Slow computer. Only being used for kids school. Not much better than the cheaper counterparts. I wouldn’t recommend or buy again. I will be returning this.

CS from Factory needed if Product doesn't work.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Looked like a good deal, however turned out to be a waste of time and energy. Spent a lot of time loading and then deleting personal information, because I couldn't trust it to restore to factory settings (could have been, a Brick), before shutting down on it's own. The computer worked for one week, then kept shutting off by it's self. Soon it couldn't stay on longer than 2 minutes. Tried Lenovo support (they said it would take up to 48 hours to get back to me). A week later they contacted me but I had just returned the computer to the store where at lest 7 other Lenovo laptop had ben returned. Had a Lenovo before, worked well. Won't trust them again, CS was very unresponsive.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendMeh
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the price when this was on sale I can't complain too much, but I really don't care for the design of this machine... Keyboard is a very odd proportion which results in consistent misstrokes. Screen is not very bright.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendUnhappy customer
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Unfortunately I am unable to connect myEpsom printer to my Lenovo laptop. I purchased geek squad protection so that if I was unable to do this myself geek squad would be able to help. I canceled my appointment with tech people after finding out I would have to pay for this service after paying for three years of geek squad. I am greatly disappointed and still have no usable printing ability. Due to covid and being elderly I cannot come into the store to voice my concerns. After spending $1,000 at Best Buy to have a laptop with printing ability i still cannot print.

Horrible labtop
||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this laptop $350+ tax from online on bestbuy website. Honestly I was using for only emails and office work. The laptop being freeze after 6 months. I tried every single thing, ultimately visit Geeksquad Vernon hills, and agent want $90 for anlysist the problam, $50 for backup and $150 for repair and if we replace something it would be extra. Then I decide to buy another new laptop of different brand. It's completely wastage of money and time.
