Posted .This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 Laptop, model number 81WF004CUS, will boot from off to the Windows Desktop Screen in less than 40-seconds. If you are getting slower boot times, even if you have switched out of S-Mode, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows. 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 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.

Large screen for a portable
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Even though this is a quad core and my 4 years older Toshiba Satellite is 2 it is not as fast with throughput. I like the wide screen so that I don't normally have to connect another screen and the graphics are very good. Having the 2 function buttons directly in the touch pad takes some getting use too. I use it mostly for Hammond music keyboard software and it does the intended purpose.

save your money
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Absolutely the worst computer I have ever had. It is so slow and unresponsive. With a TB of hard drive space and only 120GB loaded, you'd think it would work faster. It takes too long to fully boot and use.

From Tears To Cheers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.As frustrated as I was that my previous laptop quit working, my experience with the team at the Cuyahoga Falls Best Buy was absolutely delightful. Alex provided an understandable overview of the two laptops that I was considering and based on his answers it was easy for my to confidently select the Lenovo. He introduced the Geek Squad program with me and again answered all of my questions. When my laptop arrived at the store, he made a list of all my requests for the Geek Squad. Sean with the Geek Squad team reviewed all tasks completed and did a wonderful job answering my questions. So pleased that I signed up with the Geek Squad program.

Posted .Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17 laptop, model number 81WF004CUS. To keep your computer running at its best, regularly check to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10 on the computer. Then update all BIOS files and drivers up to that latest version of Windows 10. You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software available on this computer. This system has Lenovo utilities installed to help maintain the health of the device and keep the operating system software up to date. Type "Lenovo Vantage" in the Cortana Search window (if Lenovo Vantage is not installed on your device, you can download the APP and install it now). Select Lenovo Vantage from the list. In the window that opens, click on "Health and Support". In the expanded menu, select "Hardware Scan" In the window that opens, select "Run Quick Tests". This will scan your entire system for errors. Follow any directions that may pop up. If the problem continues after this scan, now click on "System Update". First select Windows update from the menu. Scan your system to be sure you have the latest version of Windows 10. Once that scan is complete, select "Additional Updates". This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up. If the issue continues after these updates, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686 for additional help.
