Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Intel Core i5-1135G7 12GB 256GB SSD 15.6 FHD Touchscreen Laptop

The "Used - Good Condition" purchase option was a real winner for me. It arrived flawless. No scratches. No scuffs. No marks whatsoever. Came in a factory Lenovo box with all the normal packaging and factory power supply.It's very lightweight. The screen is fantastic. The touchscreen works. It *does* have a backlight keyboard (FN-Spacebar to toggle on/off).Mine has Windows 11 Home in it in S-Mode. In the box are instructions to get it into normal Windows mode.After initial setup and the million Windows updates to install, I used the Lenovo assistant app to update the system bios. For whatever reason, bios update aren't available through the normal Windows Update mechanism.All that worksI debloated all the telemetry and such (search the Internet for Debloat Windows 11 and use the first GitHub link and PowerShell). Then I uninstalled all the preinstalled apps like Instagram and Spotify and The XBox Bar, etc.Then I shrunk the windows partition to make room to install Linux. I use Fedora, but any modern Linux should work. No surprises. Hardware drivers were all in the default repos. (The machine has an Intel WiFi 6 card and Realtek audio.)It's a great inexpensive machine with a 1080p touchscreen display and backlight keyboard, especially at the "Used - Good Condition" price.HOWEVER, it has only 12GB RAM and *cannot be upgraded* (according to Lenovo's website). 4GB is soldered to the board. 8GB is in a traditional laptop DIMM slot (according to disassembly videos on YT). There is only a single slot. I don't know why it can't support a larger DIMM - I haven't tried to put a larger one in there.There is a setting in the bios to make them function keys work normally (out of the box you need to press FN-F1 to get F1, etc. Otherwise you get the multimedia shortcut (volume mute in this example).To boot from a USB, hold F12 when booting and select your USB device from the text menu. To enter the bios, press F2 (or possibly DEL) when booting.I'm replacing a heavy, 9yr-old, flakey 17" HP, 900p. So I'm thrilled with how much lighter, cooler, and quieter this Lenovo is.Plus, it runs Linux without a hassle. No driver issues. Trackpad, WiFi, BT, and touchscreen all "just work™".

Had no issues with the laptop so far. I've had it for about a month now, and have been playing some games that are lighter in spec requirements. It does get hot if I run a newer game.

This is a pretty decent laptop. I bought it mainly for business use. It seems to be keeping up fairly well for an i5. The only issue I have is some of the keys on the keyboard are Fn accessible only, like home, end, page up, page down... And the up-down arrow is a half key, so I often miss the key when I'm trying to use them. I'm not sure who they built these laptops for nowadays, the keyboards aren't good enough for people who work on their computer, and they're not good enough for people who game. So I guess if you're just buying an expensive browsing device, it's great!

Laptop is as described. I use it for very light duties(basic office work) so I haven't stressed it enough to find out it's limits. Boots up quite fast and more than enough for my needs for the next 5 years or so.I'm Kenyan and it arrived in Nairobi safe and sound. Recommended buy

Decent

My tech guy at work recommended I purchase this laptop. It was cheaper at Amazon. I was nervous about the purchase but it was an excellent choice. It’s very easy to use, fast, and is meeting my home based needs. I watched a movie on it too and the picture and sound quality was excellent

Had this laptop for 2 years and recently it has been continuously crashing on my son where it instantly reboots for no reason. Took it to a repair place where they fixed it but only temporarily. They won't look at it again telling us that its not worth attempting another repair as it is basically unfixable. Best that you go with a Dell or HP.

Excelente producto!

He trabajado con ella desde que la compré hace un par de años y sigue siendo muy funcional

The product description didn’t include full and transparent details, which meant I had to spend more money to rectify the issue once I’d received the laptop. Very disappointed!

Perfect! Works great and fast. Everything is as stated. No surprises. Would highly recommend.

The media could not be loaded. Cumple al 100 con todas las características, si lo usas en español, será un poco confuso el teclado, el material de construcción es lo que se espera por un equipo de sus características y precio. La memoria del SSD puede ser limitada pero se puede cambisr por uno más grande si así lo requieres, la RAM se puede expandir hasta máximo 16 GB, corre bien los programas y es bastante bonita a la vista. Teclado retroiluminado, pantalla táctil, lector de huellas dactilares, buen brillo en pantalla, camara con bloqueo de seguridad, Windows 11.
