    The PC is working better than expected -- for the price we paid this is a great budget PC that meets the needs for a normal user that uses Google - Facebook etc... The amount of memory and the SSD drive made this a great value.

      Thank you for choosing the lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS. This model ships with Windows 10 S-Mode 64-bit Operating System. Windows 10 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available ( and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or you need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 10 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 10 S-Mode to Windows 10 Home:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/4456067/windows-10-switch-out-of-s-mode Lenovo

    This is a great computer! Great price. The only issue I have is the color doesn’t seem to be as bright as it should be. I’m going to have Geek Squad look at it to see if it can be adjusted. But all in all a very good buy

    Design is very sleek and nice while not being too heavy to carry around. Runs very fast and efficient. The battery life is pretty decent but if you usually just have it plugged in while using it anyway this laptop is perfect for you.

    Too little for the price

    Biggest plus, very little bloat software. Plenty of RAM. Touchscreen is nice, but it's not really a deal breaker either way. The negatives are the rest of the machine, take what you want as the biggest omission. The processor is only 1ghz, which is really slow these days. Desktops computers are pushing 5ghz. There's no removable media, CD/DVD/BR drive, which means you can't listen to your music, watch a movie, or actually install any software not on USB drive. There's also no Ethernet port. Which means it's all WiFi. So if you wanted to stream videos, say, and you have marginal coverage, there's a decent chance there's going to be buffering and stuttering. In the same vein, with no removable media, every software you install is 100% on the hard drive or in the cloud, so you're either losing time waiting for software to transfer over the WiFi, or eating the space in your drive. Speaking of no removable media, there's also no removable battery, but I guess people are use to that with their phones. All in all, this is an over powered tablet, but a very weak computer. 1ghz processor slow these days, lack of CD DVD drive doesn't offer the average user access to their media. The no external battery can cost a lot more later on, making it almost a disposable computer once the battery dies. Also, the lack of Ethernet port holds you hostage to weak WiFi and dead zones. My 81 year old father enjoys the machine, but he's only checking email and web browsing. He's not into streaming or video chat, so I can't speak to that. He did however, ask me to update his GPS, but at a 4 gig WiFi map download, with the laptop next to the router, was still going to take a few hours just accomplish that. If they wanted to make a better product, they should have just made a tablet with removable keyboard. With a price tag of $600, for me, it's lacking too much to be a serious contender to be entry level, and with the attached keyboard, useless as a tablet.

      Hey there we are sorry to hear you are having this experience with the Lenovo Idea pad 3 15" laptop model # 81WE00NKUS . This unit features a 4-in-1 Media Card Reader built in. Its on the side of the unit. The intel core i5 processor in this machine features 4 cores, 8 threads, a base clock of 1 Ghz and Boost Speeds of up to 3.6GHz. This processor is great for media playback and streaming, word processing, multi-tasking, multiple internet tabs, and even some light gaming. In regards to the CD drive we recommend pairing this laptop with an external optical drive like the one featured in this link https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lg-8x-external-usb-double-layer-dvdrw-cd-rw-drive-black/5852919.p?skuId=5852919 . In the same way if you require more storage at any time we recommend adding an external USB storage. Lenovo

    The reviews said that the biggest drawback was the picture and it probably is but when it's hooked up to 2 24" monitors, it doesn't matter. It's super fast for a medium laptop and the price, under $350 was impossible to beat.

    Picked this up on black friday on a great deal. Even though it's plastic, the build quality is surprisingly solid and sturdy. The only downside is the display appears to be a TN panel, but it's bright and the colors are good.

    I just Received it a few minutes ago, setting up all my software, but I noticed that the touchscreen is not working? Is there any way to enable and disable it?

      Posted .

      First, Be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. Incompatible software could cause the problem you are experiencing with the touchscreen. 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 there is no incompatible software installed, then check to see if the touchscreen is enabled. Here is a link to instructions for checking whether the touchscreen is enabled within Windows 10:  https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/enable-and-disable-your-touchscreen-in-windows-10-b774e29d-be94-990f-c20f-e02892e572fc. If the Issue continues, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo
