Great gaming laptop. Pop in another 8 gb RAM and you are all set to game away… also if you store lots of games you will need more menory. Both things easy to upgrade yourself. Even as an avereage guy withvery basic cpu knowledge i was able to figure it out fairly easy… youtube is your friend!

This laptop was bought to replace my old laptop, so far it’s been amazing and high speed. My games are at a much higher quality. The only issues the battery life is under 3 hours and when turning it on it takes a couple of minutes to connect to the internet, otherwise it’s a great product

This is a great product for the price does everything you could want and the vents on it are amazing. It doesn't get super hot or anything of the such when gaming. If you are looking for a cost effective or a temporary replacement for a computer this is THE. Laptop for it

Very nice laptop. It is not being used for gaming. It has very good graphs and works great for photo editing. The battery life isn't the greatest, but since it is being used more as a desktop it doesn't matter.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15 Laptop. We are very pleased to hear that the specifications and features of the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Laptop meet your computing needs so well. If you are getting substantially less battery life, first, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery conservation Mode is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. Here is a link to instructions for turning off Battery Conservation Mode: https://support.lenovo.com/us/en/solutions/ht103159. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. 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.
