It's perfect for me !

I'm 39, but I know nothing about laptops. I just want it to work when I turn it on. I took a shot in the dark and purchased this laptop months ago. I'm quite happy with it. I have not experienced any issues. It is also very durable. My crazy Blue Heeler inadvertently pulled it off the table when I had it plugged in to charge. I thought for sure it was toast but you would never know that happened because it continues to work perfect.

BAD.

I got it a year ago, and it malifunctions all the time and the camera driver keeps getting uninstalled randomly.

It is very lightweight, love to carry it around the house. The touch screen is highly responsive but not too sensitive, totally exceeded my expectations. The keyboard is easy to type with. All pluses! The battery, however, lasts only 1.5 hours max. It would totally be a five-star product if the battery life is longer. Overall, I am satisfied at the price with this quality.

Good model!

It's a good laptop, it runs bigger games smooth enough. The display is a little off, specifically color-wise. It's a good model, too. Large, and it doesn't overheat nearly as easy as other laptops I've used.

Arrived with malfunctioning trackpad, poor support

This laptop arrived with the left side of the trackpad unresponsive. We paid for on-site support and damage protection. Lenovo will not repair this on-site and requires us to send it in for repair. Overall, we've had a very poor experience with this laptop.

Good. Not great, good.

Great price for the size. I really only need to browse the internet though. Track pad and sound quality could definitely be improved though.

Home and school use

This laptop has everything you need for school or business. Compared to other brands with similar features, this was a better deal. The 17" screen is a must have when working at home. Super fast!

Love

After dropping my previous IdeaPad with the charging cord in it, I had to get a new one! Honestly I really enjoy this computer, the number one reason being the 17" screen size. I use this computer for entertainment for 90% of its use, absolutely love!

IdeaPad 3i (17? Intel) - Abyss Blue GREAT BUY!!

The specs say it all. This is an all around great computer for the price. There's plenty of room for software and files, the speed is outrageous, (processing, internet, if you've got the internet speed this can handle it.). Sleek, love the Abyss color. The display is great, vivid and easy on the eyes. Finger print reader works like a charm. This computer would be great for anybody, home use or work. We bought two for work for myself and a coworker. We both are very happy with this computer. We would highly recommend this computer!

Superiority at a great price

The IdeaPad 3i offers simplistic operation, multiple functions, and superior graphics for a laptop less expensive than comparable more expensive units. Along with sleek styling and overall good looks, the IdeaPad 3i was the obvious choice for all of my computing requirements!

I purchased a ThinkPad L15 Gen 2 Intel I7 from you

The above described computer was returned for a refund. It was too slow and a lower end Lenovo model.

Excellent bargain

The color is beautiful. I bought the sand color. It looks more like gold. It runs fairly slow. Not having backlighting for the keyboard is a negative but certainly not a deal buster. My choices are 512 ssd hard-drive with 8 mb ram. It also came with Windows 11, certainly a good benefit. Basically this machine is an excellent bargain.

I bought this to prepare for college and for my own personal use. So far, I've been able to get a lot of work done with absolutely no problems. Even the games that I've run on it have worked fairly well.

Crashing and restarting too much

I've had it for about a year now and it's a decent laptop for beginning college students but my problem with it is that it's been crashing on me and restarting at least twice a day. I would leave it open for 5 minutes and come back and find the screen is black and won't turn back on without shutting it down. Performance and speed is decent but the crashing and restarting definitely needs to be fixed.

Excellent Economical Laptop

Excellent laptop for the money. Read the tech specs because various processors / speeds are used. The IdeaPad 3 with a 1.3 Ghz. processor is noticeably slower than a IdeaPad 5. However, really appreciate the 500 GB SSD

Easy As Pie

I really like my Lenovo laptop. When it came, my husband didn't tell me he had ordered it for me. So when he handed it to me, it was quite the surprise, and haven't put it down since. I have down loaded all my apps, it was easy as pie, and haven't missed a bet. Just gota love that LENOVO...

Great laptop but weak screen and hinges

I've had this laptop for about 7 months now. Everything is good except for the fact that when you open and close the screen multiple times, the screws on the bottom fall off and the hinges break. I've just had this repaired but I believe this will happen again in the near future.
