Meets expectations
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Performance meets my expectations. Using "S" mode is a bit of a chore. I will probably take it out of that mode.J prefer to use my customary tools to watch for virus and other concerns...

Great picture on screen but low battery life.
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I really like the large screen. Pictures on screen are very vivid. Love the sharpness when viewing films. The only complaint is that the battery lasts only about 2 hours.

Posted .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. 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.

Good value & quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased black Friday weekend 2020. Very good value. Speed and storage are good for my needs. It comes with Windows 10 in S mode which I would not recommend. Windows S mode is highly secure; so much so that you don't need antivirus software with it. But it only allows you to use software approved (and mostly developed by) Microsoft, so you can't use much of the software you need if you use Windows 10 S. When I set up the computer, I chose the option to revert to Windows 10 so I could use other software. Once you take the option to revert to Windows 10, you cannot go back to Windows 10 S mode, which is no loss for me.

Worth it
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good value for this price. I bought it for 350. You shouldn't compare it with a 1000 dollar laptop. The adapter for charging is at the plug. This will cover all other outlets near by.

You Get For What you Pay! Average
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Keyboard finish could have been better. Very disappointing is when you turn ON, you see shabby design "LENOVO" on the welcome page(while loading) Looks more chinese new year decoration (ofcourse chinese product) lol Camera quality is definitely not good! Please someone prove that battery goes beyond 2.5 hours as claimed by Lenovo, I tried all the ways, machine dies after 2.5 hours of very normal usage. Otherwise, Laptop is decent for the price you pay. Im purely using it for office work.

Very good value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very good value for your wallet. Nice configuration that’s enough to do your daily tasks like shopping, emails etc etc. It’s just needed 16 GB RAM instead of 12.

Ok for the price.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The battery life is 2 hours... Its " up to " which is misleading. After you install everything /programs etc you will not get 8 hours. I don't know what the people saying 8 hours is smoking. I don't care about the same response lenovo keeps giving on this website, it is two hours.

Posted .Hello, thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15" Laptop model # 81WE00NKUS. This unit is rated for up to 7.5 hours estimated 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.
