    Incredibly impressed with the laptop. Between being an extremely lightweight design to the fast speeds that are perfect for my partner, everything has been beyond our expectations. The sale price also didn't hurt at all.

    Bought this for my girlfriend to replace her 10th Gen i5 IdeaPad I bought her in 2020. She wanted another Lenovo touchscreen. For being 500$ on sale this is a really good deal. I personally have a hp Victus i7 and was impressed with the performance of this IdeaPad. The uncertainty of tarrifs made us get this. Her 2020 i5 10th gen IdeaPad has had zero issues, on original install, and boots from button to log on in 27 seconds, But also only has 720p,12gb Ram and 256gb ssd. So this was still a significant upgrade. We will give the old one to her mom to continue using. Lenovo makes solid products.

    I needed a laptop for school, and this one is wonderful! I am able to write comfortably and the screen is big enough to not irritate my eyes. The screen is also slightly matte so it does not reflect the light as much compared to other laptops I’ve had.

    I have not had my computer for two weeks and I’m already having problems with it. I tried to turn my computer to use it. It usually automatically cuts on when you open the laptop. I have had a blank screen for 10 minutes now but I can hear the computer on. I tried turning it off and back on. It doesn’t work. I’m sooo annoyed. This is the second computer I have got from Best Buy that is malfunctioning within one month. Smh

    Lenovo Laptop Review – A Teacher’s Perspective

    Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    As a full-time teacher, I needed a laptop that could handle lesson planning, virtual meetings, grading, and a bit of multitasking without slowing me down. I recently purchased a Lenovo laptop, and so far, it’s been a solid investment. The setup was simple and straightforward, and I appreciate how user-friendly the interface is. It runs smoothly even with multiple tabs open—whether I’m toggling between Google Classroom, PowerPoint, or student data portals. The keyboard is comfortable for long stretches of typing, and the battery life easily gets me through the school day without needing a charge. One of the things I like most is its durability. I carry it back and forth between home and school, and it’s held up really well. It’s not overly heavy, which is a bonus when you’re already carrying papers, a lunch bag, and everything else that comes with the job. While it’s not the flashiest device on the market, it gets the job done efficiently—and that’s exactly what I need. If you’re a fellow educator looking for a dependable, budget-friendly laptop that can keep up with the demands of teaching, I’d definitely recommend checking out Lenovo

    I was looking for a moderate priced solid laptop that could handle home office work and was reliable. The Best Buy Advisor in Seekonk MA (Logan) was extremely helpful and professional. I had no plans to actually buy that day but just wanted information. He answered all my questions and gave me a heads up that another laptop company was releasing new models in a month. He reminded me as a Total Rewards member I had a 60 Day return policy. There was absolutely no pressure. At the last minute I decided to buy. So far it is exactly what I need a very basic reliable computer that has been compared to a Toyota Corolla which is my car LOL And when there was a second sale a week later I was able to get the lower price and the difference was credit back to my card. All good!

    I’ve been using the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 for a few weeks now, and overall, I’m really impressed with its performance for everyday use. The design is simple but looks great in Arctic Grey. It's slim and lightweight, so I’ve been able to easily carry it around without feeling weighed down. The 15.6" Full HD touchscreen is responsive, and I’ve found it really handy for quick navigation. The screen looks sharp, but the viewing angles aren’t the best — if you're sitting off to the side, the colors do fade a little. Performance-wise, the AMD Ryzen 7 and 16GB of RAM make multitasking super smooth. I can have several tabs open, watch videos, and use office apps all at once without any lag. The 512GB SSD is a nice touch too; it boots up quickly and has plenty of space for everything I need. The keyboard is comfortable to type on, though the key travel could be a little better. I do a lot of typing, and I’m pretty happy with it overall. The trackpad works well too — it’s responsive and supports multi-finger gestures, which is nice. Battery life is decent — I usually get about 7 hours of use, which is fine for most of my workday. Heavy tasks like streaming or video editing will drain it faster, but for general use, it holds up well. Plus, the fast charging feature is super handy when I need a quick boost. If you're looking for a laptop that’s good for browsing, working, or watching shows, this one definitely delivers. It’s not built for heavy gaming or video editing, but for my day-to-day use, it’s been perfect. Would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable laptop without breaking the bank.

    Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Review

    |
    |
    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I’ve been using the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 with the AMD Ryzen 7 5825U for a little while now, and overall, I’m pretty happy with it. For the price, it feels like a solid deal especially with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD packed into a slim and light chassis. The Arctic Grey color looks clean and modern too. Performance-wise, it handles multitasking easily. I can run several tabs, documents, and apps without any slowdown, and it stays pretty quiet while doing it. The Ryzen 7 gives it a nice boost in speed definitely not sluggish like cheaper laptops I’ve used in the past. The touchscreen is a nice bonus. I didn’t think I’d use it much, but it’s surprisingly handy for scrolling and quick taps when I don’t feel like using the trackpad. The display itself is Full HD and clear, though the brightness could be better if you’re working in a really sunny room. Battery life is decent but not amazing. I get through most of the day on a single charge, but if I’m doing more intensive tasks, I’ll need to plug it in sooner. If I had to nitpick, I’d say the speakers are just average and the build is more plastic-y than premium, but again for the price point, you can’t expect a MacBook build quality. Bottom line: It’s fast, reliable, and has great specs for what I paid. It’s a great everyday laptop for work, school, or casual use. If you’re not super picky about ultra-bright displays or high-end materials, this is a great buy.

    Purchased this laptop for my senior citizen mother. The i3 laptop I purchased for her over five years ago was just not cutting it anymore. The touchscreen is a nice touch. Very powerful Ryzen 7 processor and 16GB RAM should last her another five years of Facebook, surfing the web and emails no problem! I also highly recommend purchasing the Best Buy Total Membership, it covers everything you purchase through Bestbuy, I can say that it has paid for itself several times over in the past three years I've used it.

    This is an affordable laptop solution if you have a limited budget. I got this on sale for $250.00 off. I started a YouTube channel and post a video or podcast almost daily. This laptop works great for YouTube and everything else I do on a daily basis. It has a built in camera if you cannot afford a separate camera or you don’t have one of the latest smartphones to use. While the speakers/mic work fine for Zoom calls, I use a professional mic and headphones gifted to me by a friend for recordings.
