    This laptop out of the gate is slow and and horrible. I bought this for my wife and we have had nothing but trouble with it. Im not very impressed with the product and wish I could return it but its past the 15 day window. It takes forever to load anything and we can't seem to get Norton downloaded on it. Today I opened it up and turned it on the the screen was blue and it said shutting down for over 20 minutes.

      The Battery Saver Software Within Windows 10 helps prolong the life of the internal battery by not charging the battery until the charge level within the battery drops below 80-percent. This helps the battery last longer. When you plug the charger in and the battery has a charge still above 80-percent, the battery indicator will show "plugged in, not charging". This is normal. Let the battery charge go below 50-percent, then plug the charger in and the battery will begin charging to 100-percent. Lenovo
