All is well, except battery.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The laptop itself is good so far. The touchscreen is nice, you don't have to press hard. It's very lightweight. And has a sleek design. My only complaint is, it seems the battery is draining quite fast. I'll play with it some more and change some settings, to see if I can optimize my battery. But, I bought this laptop because my old one could no longer be without the charger in order to run. If I have to carry the charger around with this one. I'll probably return it.

Posted .the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15" laptop model # 81WE00NKUS features a 2CELL 35WH Lithium Polymer battery with an estimated life of up to 7.5 hours. If you are getting substantially less battery life, please adjust your screen brightness settings. A setting of 100% brightness will drain your battery much faster than a lower setting. We recommend setting the screen brightness to some value below 100% that is still comfortable for you to view. Next 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.

Awesome daily use laptop
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop has been amazing. It runs most, if not all programs the basic programs I need. I don't do any gaming or editing so I didn't need anything super powerful, but i was tired of all the cheaper priced laptops being super slow or crashing when i had a few programs opened. Definitely would recommend this for a daily use laptop or someone going to school. The battery life is pretty good as well. It last a good 3-4 hours of streaming at highest brightness until it needs to be charged. The display is probably one of the things that hold me back from giving it a perfect score. Don't get me wrong the display isn't that bad but you can tell it isn't some crazy 4K screen.

Excellent value
Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Super fast, relatively light weight for size and a touchscreen! Build quality and battery is acceptable lasting ~ 6 hours with some display adjustments (not including video) Can’t beat the price for what you get. Excellent value. Will see how it holds up but so far, very happy with the purchase.

Great Value.
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bottom line, you get what you pay for. But in this case I feel that I got more than I paid for. Purchased during Black Friday sale. I researched thoroughly and found nowhere I could get 15” screen, 256GB SSD, 12GB memory and an i5 processor at this sale price. This combination was only found on machines several hundred dollars more. On the other hand, a two cell battery, the screen resolution, and the 220 nits were found in laptops of similar cost. Bottom line a great value. In use, I am pleased in every way. My intention is to use it in home so a plug is always available. Also in home the 220 nits is just fine. Speed wise it has handled everyday tasks with ease. Lastly, I was pleased with the overall construction relative to price. At this price I was expecting far more plastic. My last Lenovo lasted, problem free, about 8 years. This is a very nice upgrade! I see no reason it won’t do the same.

Good value for money but . . .
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.With an i5 processor, 12GB RAM and 256 Gb SSD you are getting an awesome amount of computing power for your money (I paid $350). But, it's not perfect. The 1366x768 screen resolution is only adequate. The battery life of 2-3 hours is poor (don't bother with the "battery conservation setting stuff from Lenovo as it does not apply to this computer!). For me the battery is not a problem because it sits on my desk plugged in most of the time and as for resolution I bought a Samsung 24" curved monitor for $110 which makes it an awesome package! So I am happy.
