    I bought this and returned it the next day because the microsoft surface went on sale and that was what I really wanted. That being said this computer was very cheaply made, I had an ideapad previously and loved it, this was a disappointment

    My most recent purchase was at least the 20th computer I have purchased from Best Buy in the last four years. I also purchased at least five printers from BB in the last four years. For my most recent purchase, I noticed that the key for the letter "p" did not work. I took the keyboard back and just asked that it be switched out for another keyboard. BB refused saying if you want to return the keyboard, you have to return the entire computer which my business is already using, I was told I cld purchase one of their keyboards at an addtional charge. I will never purchase another item from BB.

      Hello,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that you ran into an issue. We strive to provide the best experience possible. We're disappointed and apologize that this wasn't the case for you, and we'd like to work with you to try to improve your experience.

      To start with your note on battery life, there are many variables that contribute to shorter battery life. Thankfully, many of those variables can be adjusted. By default, the system will tend to give more speed when needed, which can sacrifice battery life. If you want to squeeze out more battery life, we recommend utilizing the Lenovo Vantage application that is preinstalled to adjust settings related to power and battery performance (to access relevant settings, open Vantage > Device Settings > Power). You can also take advantage of the keyboard shortcut, Fn + Q to toggle thermal modes and easily switch between prioritizing battery life or power, or even the best of both worlds.

      Please don't hesitate to let us know what else we can do to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo
