    Reliable Everyday Laptop with Minor Drawback

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

    We bought two of these laptops for our household to separate personal use from our work and school Chromebooks, and they’ve been a dependable choice. The screen size works well for productivity and watching videos, and connecting to an external monitor and Bluetooth devices was quick and seamless. The only reason for four stars instead of five is the charger. It’s not USB-based, which feels a bit outdated and less convenient. Aside from that, the laptops perform well and meet our everyday needs without issue.

    Bought this computer for my son. It was actually the second one because the smaller version didnt have windows. This has been the best buy for my 8 year old son who just started using Roblox Studio. He loves it and takes it everywhere he is allowed too. Very easy to use for even an 8 year old. Would definitely buy again.

    Perfect for my mother. She's elderly and was using a 15 year old laptop that barely turned on and had to be plugged in to use... This fit the bill... Cheap... Works fast...good battery life... Decent size screen...

    Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Review

    I bought this as laptop good refurbished. I did have to reinstall Windows 11 when first booted and have had no issues after that. This laptop is good if you can pick this up on sale. Unfortunately it's not upgradeable, however if you're able to pick it up on sale its a good deal. Once after you remove all the bloatware and Mcafee. This i3-N305 is a very capable CPU it handles web browsing, Google Suite, and Microsoft 365. The intergraded graphics it can handle very light gaming. Keyboard feels great when typing, very pleasurable experience, Not backlit, but the screen is bright enough for low light settings. The battery life is Average it last up to 3hrs on a full charge web browsing, While working expect up to 1.5hrs of battery life so definitely keep it plugged in. The track pad is okay I'd recommend using a mice. Boots up quick very fast SSD, not upgradable like the ram, but perfect for a Google Suite User. Again this is a very capable laptop, pick it up on sale, and enjoy one of the best budget laptops on the market.

    The device is pretty good I’ve only had it for about a week and still learning the ends and out. I am using the device for my classes. It is a bit confusing but as long as you search or ask anyone that knows about Lenovo it starts to get easier. Oh and the battery life is amazing i use it probably once a day for about an hour or two and it stays good battery for about a 2 days. I usually have to charge it on the next day but even then it’s at 45%

    I needed a laptop for work but didn't have a lot of money to spend. I told the salesperson what I needed and she showed me the Lenovo. It fit all the criteria I needed and didn't break the bank. I would recommend this laptop if you are budget conscious but need performance.

    I'm extremely glad I made this purchase? I got it for my mother who is 77 years old for Xmas and she uses it like a pro. The size is great and its very user friendly. It pretty much downloads all of the basic apps and you can download other apps as well. Don't let me forget the price also fits the budget pretty well. I would definitely recommend going to Best Buy to purchase a Lenovo!

    This was a great buy, the price was great and the laptop was perfect for a first time user. I bought it for my boyfriend, who is not very computer savvy. He really likes this laptop because he is able to search around easily and learn how to find things on it. He has learned how to navigate through his computer to find apps, settings & how to sign into the internet. He gets notifications and pop ups offering him help as he is searching. We are very happy with the Lenovo IdeaPad laptop.
