    Got this laptop September 22 2025, It is February 22th 2025 and I use this for writing and occasionally checking websites That's about it. The screen is flickering out of nowhere. It's not consistent so I unfortunately cannot provide video evidence but yes it is flickering. Luckily I don't do any gaming or consuming video content on this at all.

    Computer received an update from Lenovo a little over a month after purchase. The update deactivated my pin and now I am locked out of my computer, by Windows, for at least 30 days. I went to Best Buy’s Geek Squad and they were unable to help since it was a Windows issue. So now my computer is sitting there useless. I was warned by an IT consultant not to buy Lenovo, wish I had listened.

      Hey Anne,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you are experiencing this issue with your IdeaPad Slim 3. We apologize for the inconvenience that this may have caused you, and we'd like to work with you to try to resolve this issue.

      To start, you may need to factory reset your system. If you wish to complete this process, the instructions are listed below:
      1. There is a small pin hole on the bottom right side of the device, first in line before the other ports on the right side. You will need a pin (a SIM ejector tool or the end of a paperclip should suffice) to push this reset button.
      2. Push the reset button. The system should boot to a choice screen where you can choose to view "System Recovery" options. Select System Recovery.
      3. On the next screen, select "Troubleshooting", then "Reset this PC". Select the option to remove everything from the system and for Windows to be installed locally. You will need to reinstall all programs and files after the reset.

      We hope that this helps, and should you run into any issues, have any questions, or need further assistance, please reach out to us here or contact Lenovo Support at this number: 877-453-6686, to speak with someone.

      Please update us when you can regarding this.

    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
