Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Intel i5-1035G1 Quad Core 12GB RAM 256GB SSD 15.6-inch Touch Screen Laptop

So far, this has been a great laptop. You can get lap tops for $200 cheaper but are in my opinion throw away. You use them for 2-3 years and then have to buy a new one. I'm hoping this one lasts a little longer. I did some research and found out this one has a much faster processor able to multi task quite a bit more than those $300-$350 lap tops. The biggest difference is this lap top uses solid state drive instead of flash memory featured on the cheaper units out there.

Don’t care about battery life as it’s always plugged in. Don’t care about touch screen cuz I never use it.It starts fast, runs quick, downloads quick, switches websites quick, and outside of excel (which I haven’t installed yet), it’s great.I’m new to the whole S think but I turned that junk off.Great deal for the price for business and students.

My old 2012 ThinkPad, that I used for a few things to keep those things off my newer computer, finally died. I selected this Ideapad as a reasonable option for those uses.As most people know, ThinkPads have the best keyboard in the business. This machine can't meet that standard, but it is pretty good for a laptop. I'm a fast touch typists and I got along with it.The screen looks good but is only 1366x768 which isn't very inspiring for a 15 inch screen. This machine is not meant for gaming or high class photo and video editing!One very nice feature that many computer makers don't provide: The top row of keys has shifted options for various features of the computer. This machine, like most competitors comes set so the those extra options are not shifted. You have to press Fn+F key to get a function key to work. Not very good for people who know Windows short cut keys or who have software that regularly uses function keys. Fortunately this machine has an option in the BIOS to restore the keys to the proper function. I almost never use those extra key features but routinely use the actual function keys, so this makes the computer much more pleasant to use.In comparison to the old ThinkPad which I had downgraded to 4gig of ram and an old 360 gig HD, this machine is blazing fast with 12 gig of ram and a 256 gig SSD. It is also very slim and light so it is much easier to carry. However I was surprised it didn't charge via USB and the power brick has fixed prongs, not folding prongs. That is a minor complaint but still surprising. I haven't used it long enough to test the battery life.Big warning: This machine comes with Windows 10S which I thought I heard had been withdrawn by MS? If you don't want to be limited to using only apps from the Windows Store, be sure to Google how to switch from 10S back to Windows Home. I would have returned this machine if I couldn't switch back to real Windows 10.Also, if you prefer using local accounts on the machine, rather than a Microsoft Account, be sure to ignore the option to link to WiFi during the setup. Only if it doesn't have a network connection will it allow you to set up a local account. You can always connect to WiFi after finishing the setup.

My Y520 died, and had to get another laptop, and chose this one again, as the last one I still have in another room works great. But, heads up to anyone like me who is not computer savy. This one comes in S mode...meaning until you find how to switch it, apps not located in the Windows Store cannot be installed. It's a simple process but was not so simple for this computer dummy!!!! Like it. Thrilled Lenovo has these which are more affordable than the Legion.

An enormous improvement over the last one. Lightweight, fast, effective touch screen and affordable.

I like this, nice and lightweight, works well so far. It's true that the screen is abit washed out in terms of colors of photos etc.Also the battery doesn't last as long as I'd have expected. But still overall I'm really happy with it so far.

En general buena laptop. Por el rango de precios es la mejor que pude encontrar.Lo suficiente para realizar mi trabajo de oficina así como para jugar(Sin problemas jugando Age of Empires 2 Definitive Edition, League of Legends y Dark Souls III)Lo unico malo que le encuentro es que NO tiene adaptador LAN para conectar un cable de RED. Así como que los puertos USBs estan en un solo lado(izquierdo). Y los respiradores los tiene abajo(por lo que tuve que comprarme una base cooler para que tuviera un apropiado flujo de aire)Pero en general una muy buena laptop por el rango de precios(Dificil encontrar algo mas de 8GB de RAM)

I got this for a steak and I can tell you it’s the best purchase I made for a laptop so far. Worth every penny.
