Gotta admit, I kinda love this laptop. The extra bonus is that I caught it on sale. I know it was toward the end of its retail shelf life, but it has ample processing power, plenty of memory, fast storage, and a dedicated graphics processor (not shared or chipset graphics). It doesn't weigh a ton, either, and although the power brick isn't exactly featherweight, the battery life is good enough that I don't have to worry about carrying the charger around with me all the time.

very nice laptop, quiet and fast, I would give it 5 stars if it wasn't for the battery. they say in the specs it lasts 9 hours, let me tell you, it's not even close. I am writing this review the 3rd day of receiving my laptop and I only installed the basics and with 100% charge I get 4 hours and a half of battery life.

Hi thanks for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad L340 gaming laptop model #81LK01MSUS. This unit ships with a 3 CELL 45WH Lithium Polymer battery with an estimated life of up to 9 hours. If you are getting substantially less battery life, please adjust your screen brightness settings. A setting of 100% brightness will drain your battery much faster than a lower setting. We recommend setting the screen brightness to some value below 100% that is still comfortable for you to view. Next 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 10 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 10. 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 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.

We purchased this laptop for our nephew for his school first and leisure time second. We know the hardware will surpass his needs, but it will last him for quite a few years especially if it is taken care of. From his perspective, it's fast, responsive, powerful and he loves the keyboard's blue color backlight!
-Excellent processor, graphics card, SSD,
-Easy to setup for any family
-Not much initial bloatware
-Budget friendly, mid-level consumer, entry-level gamer

I was able to buy it for $420 while it was still on stock for sale. I needed a laptop for on the go to make/edit my videos for YouTube. The build is plastic, but doesn't feel cheaply made, and has a nice weight to it. It meets all of my needs, and I can even game on the go now.
Downside is that it's only single channel ram, would have been amazing if it was dual, but you get what you pay for.
I would definetly recommend this laptop if your not trying to break the bank.

pick up the laptop for non inflated price of 450.00. For the price it is great casual gaming PC.
It has only single channel ram but Intel CPU are not as affected. I replaced the 8GB stick with 16GB, I notice performance implement a and FPS increase on Whicher 3 that I mostly play on it.
The GPU stays around 64 degree Celsius when full load and gaming. It is 50 Wats version of the 1650.

Fast Gaming Laptop with Mediocre GPU

A good deal when I purchased this back in Thanksgiving. Its dedicated GPU was a bit underpowered if you want to play 2020 triple A games but will do at medium settings at 1080p. I was simply fast given the quad core processor. Just make sure to install all proper drivers and replace default programs with lightweight alternatives. Fast laptop for gaming and creator workflow.

The hp gaming lap top is up and running good so far and I would recommend this to anyone who runs mild computer games . Nothing too fancy and is a fair price for a good lap top. The green light is very very cool and is an eye catching experience. The lap top looks very hi tech and out of a science fiction movie like Star Wars or Star Trek but mostly like trim

For its price point it's a decent laptop and even though what I received only had 1 ram slot, it was easy to upgrade to a 16 along with adding a ssd (but i did have to buy the connector cable). Quick YouTube search will point you to decent guides in how to upgrade what you can.

Really nice computer. I do wish the background light on the keyboard would light up automatically when touched, rather than hitting Fn Spacebar twice. Then having to remember to turn it off, rather than having it go off after 5 secs or so of non typing. Other than that, does everything needed.

Super fast, great performance for the price. Higher end parts where needed (processor, graphics, RAM) cheaper parts to keep the price down where but as crucial (not a touch screen, cheap webcam/mic, clunky housing). Only two gripe is it shows finger prints and smudges easily, but love the computer regardless.

Great display. I use this laptop to view remote camera systems and it gives me plenty of real estate for multiple screens. Also, keyboard is nice for typing but trackpad is questionable. Sometimes the response of the trackpad doesn’t always correspond with the cursor or when you tap.

My Lenovo L340 is a well-made computer with all the capability and speed I need to carry on all of my online and local activities. My only reason for not assigning 5-stars to this product is the nearly complete lack of printed documentation.

The laptop works wonderful and the price was unbeatable. I play world of warcraft and during shadowlands I am getting an amazing 7 graphics recommended. It does run a little warm like a typical laptop so I do suggest getting a cooling pad.
