    affordable but enough for many purposes, fast and sensor screen is cool. Bought for my sibling, enough for school, work. Gamers would need a faster PC.

    My daughter loves this PC. It has a very nice screen and the keyboard layout is perfect. The only knock on this computer is the battery life leaves a lot to be desired. It will play modern games at medium to low settings, but those games will destroy the battery. This is a perfect computer for the circumstances where it's primarily used plug-in and occasionally used unplugged. The upgrade from Win10 to Win11 was flawless. In fact the PC feels faster with Win11.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS. This model ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, with a battery life of up to 7 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less battery life, First, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery conservation Mode is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 10 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. 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. Lenovo

    I have been very happy with this product. I am a self employed business owner and mainly use this for quick books sand online bill pay. It was very easy to setup, starts up quickly with almost zero wait in loading programs as well as using multiple window screens. Internet usage is pretty fluid as well although I don’t use much for this purpose. I used apple product previously and find that this laptop is just as efficient and probably easier to use overall than my Mac. And lastly the price really makes this laptop a great value as well.

    Pro: - a nice laptop as for speed and memory - price good if buy on black Friday @ $350 not at $600 Con: I had to return the display is just not good doesn't matter how you adjust washed out. I've had the laptop for a few weeks now and I'm pretty technical savvy .. It's so dull and no matter what colors or layout you try, it's just doesn't look good. The case made of plastic not sturdy. Not recommend for display.

    I like Lenovo Laptops this is my second one I have owned. My last one lasted me almost 10 years. Unfortunately I accidentally reset it to factor and could not recover it. So i was forced to buy an update one. I love the touch screen features although I have to get use to that feature on a laptop. I am stilt learning to use it with comfort not quite there yet, but I am better now than I was when i first brought i home. A little over a month now. I love the price and it has all the features I need for my use.

    I bought this laptop for my daughter who is home schooling. I was nervous with purchasing it because it initially only had one review that was not good but my daughter loves this laptop. PROS: The laptop is really fast which allows her to conduct research and connect to her class on Zoom very easy. The keyboard key sizes are good. Just big enough. The 15.6 screen size is really perfect for Zoom classes. The pixels and color of the screen is crisp, bright, and clear. I know other reviewers raised concerns about the battery but my daughter’s laptop battery has been great! We only have Microsoft Office on it (no games) so the battery has lasted the 6.5 hours as advertised. We actually calculated it due to the reviews. Also, I know someone raised concerns about the internet but my daughter has not had any problems with the laptop connecting and staying connected on the internet. However, we do have an EERO internet booster that we previously bought on Best Buy. CONS: One of the reviews mentioned the keyboard was not centered and was placed too far over to the left of the laptop. This is definitely correct! I think Lenova was focused on making the keys the right size but this made the keys not centered and too far over to the left. This did not bother my daughter, though, because she loved this laptop so much. Instead, we took advantage of the Black Friday deals and purchased her a cool gaming keyboard that she connected to this laptop. Also, the speakers are not the best quality either. Even when you turn them all the way up, they are still too low. My daughter felt this was not worth giving up the laptop for this obstacle either. I had separate external speakers that she uses when she wants to have the speakers louder. One last con, the computer case is very easy to scratch up. I placed a picture frame on the computer for just a second. When I went to pick up the frame, the computer got a small deep scratch on it. I bought the Best Buy protection for it. This made me glad I purchased it.
