It was a step a head of all the cheap bargain ones you could pick up during the holidays. I really had to hun for it, it seemed to always be sold out. I like it because its fast, touch screen and still a descent value.

Lenovo laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This laptop is being used by a graduate student pursuing a master's degree. It is light, fast, and the touch screen is a big plus. The price was excellent for the quality of the computer. I've never owned a Lenovo product before but so far, so good.

Really good for the holiday sale price.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Really good for the holiday sale price. The display looks a little darker than my other laptops and feels cheap as it's made of plastic only but runs really well with the other specs. Lightweight too.

Good touch screen
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best holiday steal this year. Touch screen is great. Could not expect more for the price paid. External hard drive is recommended if you have more documents and photos to store .

GREAT DEAL, BUT 1 COMPLAINT
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Nabbed this bad boy during the Black Friday 2020 sale. A 15" touch screen laptop, 12 GB RAM & a 10th Gen i5 Intel processor under the hood for $350?!?! It's a steal! It wasn't supposed to ship until 12/07, but I got it earlier than expected. I've had it for about a week, and I couldn't be more pleased. I read all of the reviews as I waited for mine to arrive. Unlike others, I have not encountered a battery drain. HOWEVER, I haven't put it through its paces, either...I've only surfed the web and Youtube for a few hours at a time with no issues. Some complain about the display, and I can see why, especially if you're used to saturated, bright images from the latest smart TVs, smart phones, and tablets. This computer is NOT that. It has a more muted, dimmer display. I don't mind it, and my eyes are very grateful. I must ding them for having such a short battery cord, though. You MUST be near an outlet if you charge while using the laptop--the cord is that short. Other than this, I have no complaints. The look, size, and feel of the laptop suits my needs, while the 12GB of RAM keeps my web browsing episodes blazingly fast. I will take it out of Windows S Mode, though, which is fairly easy to do with web tutorials. Again, for $350, I'm more than satisfied with this laptop and will be for the next few years. Hope your experiences are as positive as mine!

Lenovo Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is an excellent computer for less than 400. I ended up purchasing 3 at that price and am very satisfied. This computer would be more than enough for the average high-school student or adult. It is fast and the touchscreen is nice and responsive. The computer will play most games without any problems. I'm not sure if you can add anymore ram, but 12gb should be enough for most activities. The only two complaints I have is the lack of a dedicated video card and the offset keyboard. Being realistic, lower price laptops don't come with dedicated video cards and all 15 inch laptop have offset keyboard to account for the 10 key keypad.

Nice looking performer.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Stylish and affordable laptop. I needed something to replace a dying desktop for personal use. Good full size keyboard with number pad. Quick startup with SSD and plenty of memory for my needs. Be aware that it only has an HDMI output for a monitor. I had an older monitor with serial port only so pick up an adapter if you need one. The touchpad is a bit too sensitive for my liking, but works just fine. I did not realize the screen is a touch screen so that was a plus for me. You will also have to take it out of S mode if you want to use non-Microsoft apps like Chrome or Zoom.

Best purchase of the century...Lenovo i5, 12gb ram
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very nice computer and it was a steal. The i5 processor, 256 ssd and 12gb RAM make for an incredibly fast computer. It is quicker than most desktop computers I have used and there is NO lag time in whatever is to be accomplished. The extra 4 gig of RAM is huge and I can't believe computers are not standard with 12 or 16 megs of ram. I have the laptop closed, but it stays on with a logitech wireless keyboard and a 23 inch Lenova monitor. The computer was port generous as there are plenty of USB ports for all of your accessories. Also, it is a TOUCHSCREEN! I wish I had purchased several of these.

Great product for the price
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.So far so good - used it for about a month. Battery life is shorter but, this is mostly able to be plugged in - which Lenovo software offers a battery conservation mode to extend the life of the battery even though plugged in. Touch screen, ssd (fast loading), i5, reasonably light. I usually like smaller laptops for weight and portability but, have been pleasantly surprised by the weight and since I don't actually move it around as much as I expected this past month. ....for medium duty workload (have not really tried to tax it yet), it's amazing for the price I paid. Would recommend for sure.

Fast and dependable
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Light weight, load up times are super snappy. I work in education and this serves all my purposes well. The load up times are great, when I just need to jump double check something I will because it loads up fast. I wouldnt give it to a teenager who doesn't take care of things as it won't hold up to abuse, but it's lived in my backpack and has held up great. Battery is about the only thing I can say isn't great as I have laptops that last longer, but for the price and speed... I can find a plug when I need it.

Will be perfect if full HD
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased on Black Friday for $349.99. It is 10th generation i5, 16GB memory and 512 GB SSD drive. Full size keyboard. Pretty fast speed. However, I don’t know it is only HD screen resolution. If you watch video and use for work, It feels dull and blurry. Finally, I decide returning it even the good deal for $349.99 (I will not pay the full price). I can’t do the screen is so dark and not clear enough. If you do not care the HD resolution on the laptop, and on sale, yes! Otherwise, please pay more for a better brand laptop with full HD resolution.

Meets most home computer needs
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I find this is a useful computer at a moderate price for my needs at home and as a teacher, using it for email, word processing, Zoom, and surfing. I don't use it for gaming or extreme multi-tasking. It came preloaded with Edge browser, not my first choice. There are 3 usb ports (useful), but I found the two on the left side are too close together to allow space for multiple flash drives. The battery doesn't always charge past 94%, and battery length seems to be 5-6 hours. I was able to get this at a sale price, so I consider it a good value.

Good specs, battery is not what is expected
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.this laptop got on 349.99 is just amaizing, it's specs are just above for the price, touch screen laptop, Intel core i5, 12gb of ram. I bought this laptop to work on some excels sheets, administration stuff on my personal business so it's really what I was expecting, even more on speed is really thin, and light. cons And why I elminated 1 star for this 2 things - No usb c ports, instead we have 3 usb A ports - HD display 720p. not full HD ( for 349.99 It's really ok) - BATTERY, 2.5 or 3 hours in normal conditions not 7 as described.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, 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.

Great value if on sale
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Its good so far. The computer just arrived Saturday. While I do see what other reviews are talking about regarding the screen not being the best, I actually dont mind. Really bright screens tend to give me a headache so the somewhat muted screen on this laptop is fine for me. The computer is lightning fast, which is great. Like others have said though, the battery isn't very good. I do basic browsing and it drains the battery pretty quickly. I've also toggled with the settings to optimize the battery duration, but it just isn't that good. Again though, not a very big deal to me as I am no longer a student and wont be taking the laptop out of the house. It is a little frustrating though. I don't think the computer feels cheap and I haven't had issues with the touch pad. Overall, I'm happy with this laptop. Its an amazing value for what I paid ($349.99 on sale). I wouldn't pay $600 though unless they fix the battery issue.

Good Value, Falls Short in Screen Quality
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for the Black Friday price. My mom who is in her early 60's asked me to buy her laptop that had a touchscreen and can use for simple tasks like email, web browsing, and video streaming - nothing too intensive. This laptop fit the bill and met most of her expectations with a great processor and memory. She even commented that it is pretty light. Where it falls short is screen quality. Images and text are not vibrant. Black text seems somewhat opaque. In terms of functionality, the touchscreen works great.

Good for grade-school distance learner
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Got this for the 4th grader doing distance learning. He was complaining about the speed of his prior machine (i3 chip from several generations ago). This works great. It’s fast enuf for him, touchscreen is good for both of my kids (seems more natural interface for them). Not too worried about the memory, since all their work is in the cloud (school uses Chrome). I would have gotten a Chromebook, but this seemed more multi-purpose, since it is a Windows device. It was a great deal at the Black Friday price.
