It works fine. Decent enough if you're doing some basic processing or web browsing (can even run some games without much issue, to my surprise). However, if you want to do anything more high end like video editing, you're going to want to shell out more money for something more powerful.

Good Touch Screen & Config

Overall, the Laptop has good configuration and touch screen. The Windows-S operating system is a bit restrictive; it only allows Apps from Microsoft store. This setbacks the Windows OS long history of allowing Apps compared to iOS.

Thank you for choosing our product! The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 15, model number 81X800KLUS, does ship with Windows 11 Home in S-Mode installed. . Windows 11 S-Mode provides added security by only allowing APPs available (and therefore certified by Microsoft) at the Microsoft Store. If you don't need the added security or need to install APPs not available at the Microsoft Store, you can switch to standard Windows 11 Home 64-bit Operating System, at no additional cost. If you choose to switch out of S-Mode for Windows 11 Home: Here is a link to instructions for switching from Windows 11 S-Mode to Windows 11 Home: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/windows/switching-out-of-s-mode-in-windows-4f56d9be-99ec-6983-119f-031bfb28a307#WindowsVersion=Windows_11 We are pleased to hear that the features and performance of this IdeaPad 3 meets your needs so well.

Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 laptop, model number 81X800KLUS. This model configuration ships with a Integrated 35Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery, which within this model's configuration, has a battery life of up to 6.0 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. If you are getting substantially less battery life, first, set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery Charge Threshold is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. You can turn off Battery Charge Threshold within the Lenovo Vantage APP installed on this computer. In Vantage select Battery Settings and turn off Battery Charge Threshold, if turned on. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 11 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://websiteforstudents.com/how-to-find-what-is-running-in-windows-11/. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 11. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of your Windows 11 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686.

I got this over the weekend. The intended use for it would be for online school work and basic recreational use like YouTube, social media, and online shopping/browsing. I'm not a gamer, so when some of the reviews mentioned how bad the display is I was like hmmm maybe I'll be fine since I don't really care about 'graphics.' Whew, were they right about how subpar the display is.
The display on this laptop reminds me of a child's Vtech play laptop. It is honestly so so bad. We have a Lenovo Chromebook from 2020 that I am comparing in the attached photo to show how drastic the difference is. I used my cellphone to take a picture of each screen. The color saturation on this thing is just....yikes.
I only used it for about 1/2 a day before I decided the display was a deal breaker for me. It feels so cheap. The screen itself feels pretty flimsy too when you open/close it. It's too bad because for the short time I used it, I was happy with the performance and the color of the laptop makes it seem pretty special.
I am returning this ASAP. There are similarly priced laptops out there that don't have V-tech quality displays.

This has only been used less than a week for college papers, and a key broke. Granddaughter wants to
Keep because her stuff is on. This should have never happened. She stuck it back on, but I’m concerned it will keep
Flipping off. I’ve had two
