Fantastic Laptopo
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Everything I need for school. Super fast, no lagging when connected. I love this laptop. One of the lightest I've ever held, lots of memory. The battery, however, could last a little longer. That said, it does charge quickly. I would recommend Lenovo to anyone going to school.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS. This model ships with a 2CELL_35WH_INTERNAL, Lithium Polymer Battery, which within this configuration, has 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 for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Great price for the quality. I got this on sale for home use and it works for everything that I need. It is fast and is user friendly. Only slight downfall is that the screen is not as crisp as I would like I think due to it being touch screen. But still a great computer.

perfect laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Best laptop deal ever? Bought on a Black Friday sale. I added 16gb of RAM. Screen is so so, no USB C, yes it's plastic. It's fast, i5, has great battery life, SSD, an excellent WiFi card, touch screen, good sound. After the RAM I have about $430 into this setup after tax!

||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Overall good laptop for the price. Bought it during Thanksgiving sale for $349+tx. Only complaint so far is battery life. Only able to get 3 to 3.5 hours. Will try different power management settings to see if it helps improve battery life.

Great buy
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good cheap fast processing laptop with touch screen. Its light weight, good build quality as well. Only wished the picture quality was little better even though its hd. I guess the picture is such because of touch screen feature.

Very Nice Computer for the Price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It is a very nice computer for the price. My step daughter bought it to use for her online college courses. She got it on sale when she bought it. So far it has done an excellent job and worth every penny. She loves the touchscreen feature to it.

Great value laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I’ve purchased a number of these for business purposes. They’re not top-tier but very nice for the price - a good value - especially if you get them on sale as I have. Very quick with the SSD. I’ve probably bought 3-4 and will buy more.

Good laptop for the price
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is a good laptop for the price. The camera is not the best but is a good 2nd laptop for those who need another laptop for office work and web surfing. I don't have any issues with the battery, but enjoy the size of the memory.

A must buy Lenovo Model 81WE
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this laptop during the Pre Friday sales in mid-November. A 15" touch screen. 12 GB RAM & 10th Gen i5 Intel processor was a complete steal for $350. The battery might drain a little quicker than expected but this is a great laptop.

Posted .Hello. Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 laptop model # 81WE00NKUS. This unit has a battery life of up to 7.5 hours. 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.

Good laptop but it comes with Windows S-mode
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The computer is a great deal, looks great and is fast. It comes with Windows S-mode which I had never heard of and did not know when I purchased the computer. It sounds a bit like it makes this the Windows version of a Chromebook. I turned the S-mode off as you can only use Windows apps if it is running in S-mode and we needed to use programs that the Windows store does not have. Apparently it may be slower, worse battery life and less safe if you switch to regular Windows as it reminds you several times. This is quite annoying as it is a one way street, you cannot switch back to S-mode. The whole thing made the first few days with it more stressful and less enjoyable. Only other issue is the battery life which seems to last about 4 hours.

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