I've had this machine for about 6 months now and it has been a blast owning this. I was able to run all the games at mid-high settings without any issues. Keyboard is buttery smooth and the screen is crisp. One thing I wish it had was more memory which I am going to look into took. Other than that it's worth every penny.

Gorgeous keyboard, great keys, smooth mouse pad, and fast performance. Really impressed with the quality feel of this machine and the performance at this price point. I'd prefer the ability to upgrade without taking it to a technician but at least you can upgrade the RAM if you want to. Incredible deal at black Friday pricing.

Just picked it up today, and so far I am not impressed, the fan is too noisy for a unit with an NVMe installed. It has only one RAM slot, not two as others reported, it does have a tray for an additional SATA SSD but cheap skates did not include the connector, so you have to go to ebay and purchase one if you want to install an additional SSD, the connection for it is under the existing NVMe, you have to remove that to access. Your mileage may vary, cheers....

We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with cooling your Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15 Gaming Laptop, model number 81LK01MSUS. First, 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 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 10 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. Second, if there is no incompatible software installed, also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 10 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://www.windowscentral.com/how-prevent-apps-running-background-windows-10. If everything checks out and you are still getting loud fan issues, you can use Lenovo Q-Control to manually control fan performance: ( Fn + Q ) option to change the fan by undervolting the processor. If the issue continues, we recommend you call Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

Great laptop at the sale price. I was only looking for something with a lit keyboard and this was right in the price range. Havent played any games on it but it has been silent since ive got it. The only complaint is the battery life isnt that good, maybe due to the backlit keyboard.

This laptop has great specs for the $420 price I bought it for!The design is simple,plain,& boring but runs pc games pretty well for what it is.I also like how you can have the blue backlight of the keyboard stay on without constantly having press keys to wake it when it turns off.

With this price, it is a great deal. I returned it because this only comes with one DDR4 slot. GTX is ok and better than none. i5 is ok but Ryzen 5 will be much better.
A bit bulky and heavy.
OK screen, 60hz, may be able to upgrade to 120hz+/IPS if parts are available.

Fast! And easy to use. Excellent graphics and the price was great. My son is an IT for a large corporation. We talked before I bought the new computer. I wanted something that would handle the new Microsoft Flight Sim. He assured me that this would do the job well.

While the Lenovo IdeaPad L340-15 Gaming Laptop model number 81LK01MSUS, is not user upgradeable, a certified technician must do all of the work, so as to not void the warranty, your certified technician can replace the existing 8GB RAM stick for a 16GB DDR4-2400MHz RAM stick. This will be single channel RAM.

A very solid gaming laptop that I got at a stellar price. Could be better if it had 16GB RAM instead of 8GB, or some more storage space, but other than those things it's a great portable machine.

Product is great for the price! Its quite a bummer that this laptop runs on single channel ram, but other than that, it runs great on games that are good on one stick of ram.

I like the design and those blue-green touches the keyboard with blue-green light makes it a bit elegant and subtle although I think it needs a little more RAM to see its fantastic performance

Okay, Everyone reading this review... Please do me a favor and don't trust the negative reviews of this laptop. This l340 gaming laptop is ACTUALLY a beast. Budget Beast, but a beast none the less. I bought this because I really wanted to get a system other than my ps4 pro for trips or just to play in bed. I started searching for an affordable gaming laptop that could play my favorite games on the highest possible settings or at least match the graphical performance of my ps4 pro. The games I'm referring to are as follows; Final Fantasy XIV , Monster Hunter World, and sometimes Destiny 2.
I have run the official Final fantasy XIV benchmark on this laptop with max settings and it scored extremely high. Destiny 2 can be run on this laptop with max settings as well. Have not tested Monster Hunter yet, but I assume based off the other 2 games I did test, that it won't be a problem.
I highly recommend this Lenovo L340 gaming laptop to anyone looking for ps4/xbox one level graphics and for those of you who want a solid budget gaming laptop.

I play a variety of games, but many of the games I love most are fairly easy to run on PC, so I got this for when I can't sleep, which is often. It works without a hitch for the current games I'm playing (Black Mesa, American Truck Sim, Prodeus, Far Cry 3, Grand Theft Auto 4, Phasmophobia, Viscera Cleanup Detail, Raft).
So far, I have no issues. The games run well, the SSD is fast, movies and shows work well, the internet and bluetooth connections are strong, the light up keys are a must, and while I wish there was an additional USB slot or 2, ultimately there are no problems.
