    Got this for my 9 years old. He loved it. It's sleek, stylish and looks really nice. The i5 processor is super fast. The only small down side is display. If it was 1080p it could have been the best model.But still, with the price range one can live with that. Overall, we are very satisfied with the product.

    Low resolution and fuzzy screen a deal breaker

    I was a little hesitant to buy this computer because the screen resolution was only 1366 x 768, but I figured that the 15" screen was small enough that I wouldn't notice the lower resolution. Maybe it was because I was used to 1920 x 1080 screens, but the screen on this computer was so fuzzy that I had trouble reading it. It certainly wasn't sharp enough for working with Microsoft Office or watching videos. I didn't get far enough to evaluate the other features. I returned the computer a few days after purchasing it.

    This was a Christmas gift for my 9 year old son. He loves it and it gets daily use. He mostly uses it for Roblox and school work. It is great for online learning and he has no complaints about its' performance on Roblox. He does prefer to use it with a mouse rather than the track pad.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop model number 81WE00NKUS, for your son. We are pleased to hear that the IdeaPad 3 15 meets your son's computing needs so well. With regard to the touchpad, you can make adjustments to the touchpad in your system settings. You can get there by clicking on the magnifying glass at the bottom left of your Windows 10 screen. Type "touchpad" in the search window. Select "Mouse & touchpad settings" from the list of choices. You can make general adjustments to the touchpad there. You can also select "Additional mouse options" for more detailed adjustments to the touchpad sensitivity by increasing the delay of the touchpad. Lenovo

    This laptop is very user friendly. I use this for school and entertainment purposes. The battery life is a good fit for me, (I use 4-5 hours a day, plug in overnight and unplug in the morning). I appreciate how easy and basic everything is. It's a straight-foward laptop that does exactly what I need it to.

    Purchased as a Christmas gift, and so far so good, especially for the price. Boots up super-fast thanks to the SSD and is running great. The user has it hooked up to a 32-inch screen and loves that she has two screens - one running Twitch and the other running whatever else (games, streaming, etc.)

    Strong specs for such a low price but build and quality of material used makes it ideal or casual or children's use only. Neither keyboard nor the touchpad are responsive; recommend use of external mouse and/or keyboard.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, does not ships with a backlit keyboard. This model has 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

    This laptop runs fast and its good price for this configuration. I only wanted to highlight few things one is its automatically starting after the shutdown. we do not need to press the power to start the laptop again. Second thing is Camera as its not clear for video calls.

    This Lenovo laptop computer is an excellent choice for doing multitasking and it has plenty of speed in it's 10th generation Intel i5. The internal RAM of 12GB seems like an odd number when it could have been installed with 16GBs. Other than this, this computer is a winner

    Product is very nice. Only giving 4 stars because of reward points received for this. Called to see if I could use my reward points on my auto renewel for geek squad service. Was told only a credit card could be used. Does not seem right. Would purchase this again

    Good product for daily use. This is a computer for the everyday student that needs to accomplish tasks. As other reviews indicate, the screen is good for movies but this is not a gaming computer. As an adult, I do not do games, therefore this is awesome computer that is very fast.

    I purchased this laptop for a dedicated use so not sure if it could handle a lot of multitasking. The price was right for me and for what the laptop offered I thought a very good deal. It was super simple to set up and has fulfilled my expectations. Great value.

    Great Laptop! Meets my needs for College online classes, easy set up, fast and Best Buy could have sold me higher priced but young man was honest and said this was perfect for me. I use a external hard drive. Love all my docs,pics,videos, books etc. plenty of space on laptop too.

    For a budget laptop - this Lenovo was an awesome buy! Of course it does all the basic stuff fine, but I was surprised that it was also able to stream video. Great quality - looks & feels like a $1000 laptop. Also very reliable. Very happy with this purchase.

    An ideal computer for virtual learning! This Windows 10 machine has been great for my kids to use while their school is all virtual. They have access to their Google Classroom materials and can also use it in their free time to play games and enjoy other things, like Roblox.

    I've had it now for a couple of weeks and after setting it up and browsing and exploring I find the machine to be a very good choice. My only regret is that it does not have an optical drive. To be honest though I knew that at the time I bought the machine.

    Lenovo quality in a great performing notebook. Very sleek and light weight with a very clear screen. I was unaware that systems are now shipping in S mode. I was glad to know it is an option, but glad it's any wasy process to unlock it to the full home version of Windows 10.
