    Fast for the $$! 12GB ram and 256GB MEMORY WITH I-5 Intel is super value. Only let down is screen resolution is only “okay”. On the other hand, it is a touchscreen.

    Got this for $350, so keep that in mind. Good value with processor, memory, and touchscreen. Working great and added a larger monitor to replace a desktop. Wasn't sure if I would appreciate the touchscreen, but find it useful

    I'm just learning to use it but so far it is great. I was pleased to find a laptop with Intel i5, touch screen and SSD for such a good price. The amazing Geek Squad, with great patience, is teaching me what I need to know.

    Best Laptop I have had so far. Bought it during Black Friday and got a great deal on it. It is super fast and I like that I have the option to use touch screen when I'm not using my mouse or arrows. Very easy to navigate.

    So far so good. I'm enjoying it very much. I will say I switched out the hard drive for a larger one. Depending on what you're using it for 256GB may not be sufficient. Overall the unit itself has been wonderful.

    This computer had a great sale price at the time. For my purposes it's just perfect. I have had other Lenovo computers in the past so I knew it was a brand that I could trust. The computer is fairly light (not super light) and fast for an i5. For the sale price of well under $400 I feel like it was a steal. It runs quietly and cool. There were no issues doing the initial Windows updates which were completed pretty quickly. There's almost no bloatware to get rid of. I've had this computer for several weeks with no issues at all. The only cons might be that there is no port to hard wire the router (wifi only) and the hard drive is on the small side (easy enough to connect an external drive). I'm very happy with with this laptop.

    I bought it just for basic use and so far it’s not too bad, but it’s not excellent as well. It does basic job done. I wish I bought it with more space. Speed is just normal. It does have touch screen.

      The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 81WE00NKUS, is a fast configuration. It will boot from off to the Windows 10 Desktop in less than 20-seconds. It will open files and access programs almost instantly. If you are experiencing slower performance, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 10. 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

    Specs are good on paper. It runs fast starts up quickly due to SSD but the screen is just terrible. My old laptop from 2005 looks better but if you need a laptop on a budget its good enough. I traded it in for a dell, the screen is so much better its insane. Pros - i5, SSD, decent ram, cheap Cons - color washed screen, sharp edge on palm rest, battery last like 4 hours on low brightness and battery saver on.

    Super fast little laptop and at only $349 you can't beat it. 12gig of ram is the new standard need for Windows. The only dumb thing is the S mode that you need to opt out of in order to install Chrome.

      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.
