      Hello, we are sorry to hear that you have had a poor experience with your IdeaPad. This model was designed to give a smooth experience with its Intel Core i5 processing, however that obviously has not reflected on your experience. If you still have your device, to try and remedy this, we recommend searching for and applying any available updates in Windows Update Settings, and if your device is out of Windows 11 Home in S-Mode, doing the same in the Lenovo Vantage application as well. If after applying updates you issue persists, we recommend reaching out to our tech support team at this number: 877-453-6686, to work with someone who may help by providing a solution. Lenovo

    Bought this laptop and the mic wouldn’t work. Brought it to Geek Squad. They told me this particular one was defective so I exchanged it for the same model. Again the mic wouldn’t work. Geek Squad tried to fix it for an hour and gave up. Horrible experience all around - don’t get this laptop if you need to use the mic.

      Hello, Zhenya. We are sorry to hear that you encountered an issue with your IdeaPad 3i 15. First, we recommend checking that your microphone is enabled in settings and that the microphone shortcut or “hotkey” on the keyboard is not toggled on. On your IdeaPad 3i 15, the F4 key should have a microphone symbol labeled on it. If this does not resolve your issue, we recommend applying any available updates in Lenovo Vantage, should your device be running on Windows 11 Home, to help ensure you have the latest drivers for your microphone installed. Should your issue persist, we recommend reaching out to Lenovo Tech Support and providing a representative with details of your issue, so that they may help by providing a solution for you. Here is a phone number to speak with a tech support representative to further resolve your issue: 877-453-6686. We appreciate you sharing your experience so that we may use it to continue to better our products and services for yourself and others. Lenovo

    Computer has less than 5 hours screen time usage and took a crap in a month. Since then we’ve fought with Lenovo and warranty issues and replacement. I’ll never own their product again. Best Buy refused return and replacement as well. Never shopping here again.

    Bought it for my daughter to use at college. Works well, giving it one star because the port for the usb drive broke within 4 months. After researching it, it appears to be a common issue with this model. Would not have purchased it if it knew that.

    I received incorrect information re the stylus that was compatible with the Lenovo IdeaPad. I was sold a stylus that was supposed to be compatible. Later, a different sales associate said Best Buy did not sell a stylus that would work with the Lenovo. I returned the Lenovo for a refund.
