Replaced a 12-year-old laptop
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Straight out of the box easy to start and use. Replaced a 12-year-old laptop. Much faster. Comes with Windows 11, which is okay, but should be reviewed separately.

Great Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I was in search of a laptop. My daughter suggested it for me. I am not a gamer. I will dedicate it to genealogy alone. I am more than confident it will do the job.

Included power supply not sufficient
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I'm surprised to see at the time of writing this review, only one other person has mentioned the CRITICAL issue with this laptop - the included 135 watt power supply is not even close to being powerful enough to power this laptop under load. While gaming, a 3050 ti laptop GPU will draw 80 watts and a 5600h can draw up to 54 watts (taken from PassMark's website). Do you think 1 watt is enough to power everything else in a laptop (display, keyboard, etc)? I imagine the reason no one else brought this up is because they've been either gaming on balanced power mode (not using the full potential of the PC) or because they straight up haven't looked at their battery charge after gaming, but I am losing 1/2 of the battery's charge after playing Forza Horizon 5 for 2 hours. Give it time - more people will be bringing up this issue. I went through the process of talking to Lenovo customer support and tried to reason with them to send me the 170 watt power supply that should have came with the laptop (a power supply they're selling for $70 currently). Of course I was strung along and told "um sir, the 135 watt power supply is within spec for your laptop". Yea, I guess it's in Lenovo's spec to sell an effectively defective product. Even at the sale price of $550 I'm giving this laptop 1 star because when you factor in the additional $70 for the 170 watt power supply (and god only knows how long it would take Lenovo to ship it to you) you're getting into the territory of nicer laptops. Another reason for the 1 star is for the betrayal of my trust and honestly BB shouldn't be selling a product in this condition, which reflects poorly upon them. PLEASE do not buy this product. BB has good deals on other Laptops right now. Get one of those instead.

Posted .This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Laptop, model number 82K201XCUS, ships with a 135W slim tip, device side, (3-pin, USA compatible, wall side plug) AC adapter/charger, 100-240V, 50-60Hz, which is included with the laptop. This 135W external power supply - AC adapter/charger will sufficiently power this high performance configuration of the IdeaPad 3 15 Gaming Laptop, model number 82K201XCUS, when it is under light to moderate workloads. Under heavy workload conditions additional power is accessed to power the system from the Integrated 45Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery. This will cause the battery to drain while plugged in and charging, but under maximum workloads. To charge the battery back to 100 Percent of battery capacity, lower the workload to a moderate level. If you have questions about your Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Gaming Laptop, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support for additional information at: 877-453-6686.
