    Misleading Promises

    Very pleased with the laptop. Very displeased with the pressure and misleading promises to save money by signing up for a Bestbuy credit card. No money back, just points on next purchase. Not what I was lead to believe.

    This computer is pure garbage in my opinion. Ive owned lenovo before and theyve been okay. Here the cursor disappears for minutes at a time and it drops websites at will.its also big and clunky. I do not recommend at all.

    Purchased on 9/4 today is 9/26 and the screen keeps going out. Took it to bestbuy for an exchange they told me I'm out of the 14 day window and have to go through lenova now. Very upset as this was a gift for Mom and she's already having problems after owning for roughly 3 weeks. Extremely disappointed in how best buy handles this

      Hi Lola1908-

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the IdeaPad Slim 3. We are sorry to hear that you are facing issues with your device. We would like to recommend a few solutions to the display issue you are facing.

      To start, we recommend adjusting your device’s sleep settings which may be causing your system to shut off the screen faster than needed. Firstly, open the Settings app, then select the “Systems” tab located on the left hand of the device, click the “Power & battery” option on the right-hand side of the display, finally choose the “Screen, sleep & hibernate timeouts” tab, this will open a drop-down menu where you can change how quickly your device goes into sleep mode. We also suggest that you check for software and drivers updates through Lenovo Vantage and Windows Update Settings which may be impacting your device’s ability to communicate with the display effectively. To check for updates in Lenovo Vantage, start by launching the Lenovo Vantage app and selecting the “Check for updates” button on the right-hand side of the homepage. To check for Windows Updates, start by launching the Settings app, then selecting the Windows Update tab on the left-hand side of the page, finally select the “Check for updates’ button located in the top right of the page.

      If these issues persist, please reach out to Lenovo Customer support here: 877-453-6686 and our team will be happy to assist you troubleshoot the issue.

    We bought our first one in early September 2025. It failed on September 12,2025. We were able to return it to Best Buy. It is now October 28, 2025, and the "new" one has a black screen. Totally unusable. I was tol Lenovo laptops were reliable, but two failed laptops in two months is unacceptable. I will contact Lenovo tomorrow, but I would want anything but a Lenovo.
