    I’ve been using this for school for the past month and I think it’s wonderful. The screen size is great, the keyboard is nice and big and the white print helps in dim lighting since it is not backlit. I haven’t used the touchscreen option much, just with the calculator and it’s nice too. My only concern is battery life. It seems to go pretty quickly, but does give plenty of notice and reminders of battery life expectancy, which I think is rather helpful. I’m very satisfied overall and would absolutely recommend.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, which within this configuration, has 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

      Hello, we are sorry to hear you are experiencing issues with the battery life on your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 laptop model # 81WE00NKUS. This unit is rated for up to 7.5 hours of battery life. 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.

    The screen is very dull, no vibrancy, almost gray. I understand the "anti glare" screen is a contributing factor, but no matter what adjustments I make, it's so boring and drab. It's like the depressing winter with no sunshine. I'd rather have a screen with glare and bright colors. I wish I would've been able to see this laptop in person before purchasing, However the price was sooooo good.

    When seeing it was on sale I made up my mind of buying this laptop without the need of careful consideration since I know I shall pay higher price for the comparable models by other makers, such as Dell or HP, let alone IMac. While I feel satisfied with this PC working well to my educational and recreational purposes I have to acknowledge it has obvious weakness of short battery life putting constraints on its mobility; I recommend this machine to those wanting a computer with average performance and good price.

    The Laptop is very sleek and nicely laid out. The screen and the features are just right. having said I wished i had looked for one with more storage as I have a lot of data and have been consuming the storage pretty fast. For folks who use SD card the SD card sticks out (half of the card) and is something you need to be careful about. there is no ethernet port but with a USB adapter it should not be a big deal Love the laptop and the price for it. it sure is a good buy!!!

    Happy with the product - much faster than my previous Dell Latitude (a 7 year old laptop). I generally do not like the touchpad and find it much faster to use a mouse. Delivery and installation was not satisfactory. I was told initially that it would ship in a few days but didn't receive the installed laptop until more than two and one-half weeks had occurred. Also I received multiple and contradictory messages from Best Buy and the Geek Squad regarding its availability.
