    Biggest con is the Screen

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

    When people complain about the screen, it is to bright. I cannot seem to change it and I already put the gamma to it's lowest setting and the brightness scale does not help the issue. The memory is bad and gets eaten up easily (as in 1 tab), Mcafee and bloatware. Sounds is below average but passable. it techinically works but the poor display is a critical issue.

      Hello Andre,

      Thak you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that this IdeaPad fell short for you in some ways. We strive to provide the best experience possible, and we'd like to work with you to address what you shared.

      If you cannot adjust brightness, this is likely a software error. To try to resolve this, we recommend ensuring you have the latest software by checking for updates, as this could correct the issue. To do so, first, open the Settings app > Select the Windows update tab > Select the Check for updates button, apply all available updates. Next, open the Lenovo Vantage app > on the homepage, select the Check for updates button, following on-screen prompts to apply all available updates here as well.

      The above steps can help to address performance issues as well, and if you're unsatisfied with any preinstalled software, we recommend uninstalling it, as it may improve your sentiments on the system, along with boosting performance if you believe it is negatively impacting stability as you alluded to.

      Please feel free to share any updates and to let us know if you need further assistance, or what else we can do to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    My previous Lenovo gave me over 6 years of good use. It was telling me that it was time for an upgrade. I got a comparable model of Lenovo with the upgrades. I hope this lasts just as long if not longer.
