    I've owned many brands of laptops, but HP has always offered products with consistent quality that I've come to expect. This laptop is no different. I took advantage of the special sale, especially when I considered the specs. So far, this laptop is performing as expected.

    Lenovo's are killing it these days. Their setup is a breeze and they make great products. This processor is quick and never skips a beat. With 12GB of Ram, it's perfect for business or school work. Graphics is great for watching Youtube and other streaming services!

    This was a great first computer for my 10 year old. She loved it. Se is using it for school work and streaming. Honestly it has more than enough power to push though anything other than heavier video editing or serious gaming. I highly recommend at the cost.

    GOOD PERFORMANCE LAPTOP, GOOD SPEED, IT'S A Pity THAT IT HAS SO LITTLE STORAGE CAPACITY. I HAD TO BUY A DVD READER / WRITER BECAUSE IT IS VERY THIN AND DOES NOT BRING IT, GOOD INVESTMENT FOR THE PRICE! I DID NOT USE IT A LOT YET, BUT IS WORKING GOOD!

    I got this laptop on Black Friday so I had a good deal. However, screen resolution is awful and battery life could be better. Other than that isn’t to bad for what I need it so it was worth it.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, ships with a 15.6-Inch (screen size measured diagonally) 10-Point Touch, TN HD (1366x768) screen, with a brightness level of 220 nits, Anti-glare coating. This model has 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. Lenovo

    NOT for younger, careless teens

    Excellent laptop for a college student ho is careful. Bought these for my middle school kids so they could continue online school during the COVID crisis. Within a month, one screen was unusable due to being set upside down (ie; on screen side) and damaging the screen beyond viewing. A week later, my daughter spilled a drop of water in the keyboard section, and within an hour, her keyboard was completely fried, despite our turning it over and drying it out immediately. We now have two $600 doorstops, but due to carelessness AND quality combined. Touch screen and ultralights are NOT for younger teens!! Good buy for older teens and adults if you can catch it on sale.

    This computer is an excellent compromise of power and cheap price tag. I got this instead of a chrome book. With the ram to handle multiple web pages and on board, enough that I won’t need an external drive. You could could do much worse for the money.

    Average laptop not a high end feel like MacBook or anything like that. Wasn’t too impressed with it added some more money and bought a i7 - brought this back. 4 stars because there was nothing wrong just not what I wanted from a laptop.

    This is the first Lenovo I have ever owned and for the money it was an excellent buy. The solid state hard drives really improve overall performance and made this a huge step up for us. We just use it for Zoom and online banking but it works well for us.

    This is great laptop from lenovo. Although screen resolution is bit low, but works like a charm and nice sturdy and light weighted. Comes with windows 10 s edition which helps your computer from malware. Hope this product lasts long.

    I got this for a Black Friday deal. It’s the best computer I have own by far. I have no regrets about buying it. I never knew how bad my old computer was until I updated to this one! I’m in love with this laptop. Great on every angle in my opinion.

    Smooth, Sleek, easy to take on the go. I believe this is an excellent laptop that brings a lot of versatility to a student or mobile worker. I wouldn't use it for gaming or photography but you receive what you pay for. Not a bad buy

    Very nice computer so far. It will work perfectly for our needs. The only thing keeping it from being 5 stars is the adapter and plug. Could be more compact and have either a magnetic end or something more robust than a prong.

    We have several of these exact models with our employees. They are little work horses and get the job done everyday. You will need to get it out of Windows S mode but that is simple. Just Google it. Will be getting more when they go back on sale.

    This laptop seems to be solidly built. Much better than the Lenovo Yoga that was it's predecessor. The screen clarity and brightness could be improved vs my HP laptop. It doesn't seem to be as sharp or as bright to me.

    This is a really nice laptop. Bought it because it was a great price, but it just feels nice. The keyboard has a great feel, the screen is nice and bright. The only thing I'd like to see is a longer cord on the power supply.

    I bought this laptop on black friday. The deal is good & the performance of this laptop is not bad; however, it come with an issue that if you open the lid, then the laptop will power up automatically. I found a solution on the web; however, it will only resolve the issue if I am willing to switch the laptop out of s mode. Since I want to keep using it in s mode, I try to contact lenovo support for help. After talked to the support for more than 2 hrs & they switch me from one department to another. Then on the last department, the support told me that I have to pay if I want to get a solution from them. 2 words for this laptop - poor support!
