New style hard drive inferior for my use

No, I would not recommend this to a friend- Cons mentioned:Battery life
Battery never lasts more than 2 hours.
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Battery lasts 1.5 to 2 hours max! Took it into Best Buy and they said, in effect, the battery never lasts the 6 hours that the manufacturer states. I wish I would have called Lenovo within the first year of warranty. Now I have a plug in computer, but I can't use it on the battery for 2 hours. Terrible!

You can easily accomplish this by scanning the computer with the Lenovo Utility software installed on the computer.

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.

This will scan your device to be sure there are no new BIOS/Driver updates needed. Follow any instructions that may pop up.

Posted .The Lenovo IdeaPad has the latest 5G 802.11AC frequency WiFi. It is the fastest version of WiFi available. 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 programing 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
