    Was good until it wasn’t. The backlight turned off and wouldn’t turn back on within a day of having the laptop. It made it very hard to use

    Doesn't work properly right from the box and when I contacted best buy they acted like it was an apple issue and not theirs, even though ordered it from best buy. Already started school so too late to change laptops. Just wish I didnt spend as much on a broken laptop.

    Used as a harddrive for RDP usage and attached two monitors and it overheated 2 days in a row. Definetly not good to use for remote access 8+ hours a day. I may have gotten a defective unit, I am unsure.

      Hi Lauren,

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

      To start, please try to follow the steps below regarding device overheating:
      1. Remove objects or dust covering the ventilation areas of the machine (ventilation areas are usually located on the left, right, or back of the machine or at the bottom side of the machine). Clear lint, dust, or debris from vents with compressed air when the PC is off.
      2. Try placing the laptop on a flat, hard surface. Uneven or soft surfaces may block the ventilation areas.
      3. Close applications that require high CPU usage. Check CPU levels in Task Manager.
      4. Try to update the drivers on the Lenovo Support site: https://pcsupport.lenovo.com/. Type the machine serial number (S/N) on the search bar. Hit enter to search the details regarding that unit. Click on the Drivers and Software tab, head to the Manual Update tab. Filter the Operating System drop-down to Windows 11 and proceed to downloading / updating the drivers. Restart your laptop when updates are done.
      5. If your issue persists after these steps, we then recommend contacting Lenovo Support directly at this number: 855-253-6686, to work with a representative for more in-depth troubleshooting.

      Please update us when you can regarding this.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    This is the worst laptop I've purchased. It's slow, the pad is half pushed in and it has asked me everyday to update further slowing my laptop.

    was tricked into buying best buy membership at $179 rather than pay $250 for data transfer to new laptop. was not told in-store data transfer is only $100 even though I had my old laptop and power cord on the counter right in front of her. must be a nice bonus for employees to score new Best Buy members. don't be deceived.
