A built-in privacy shutter will close off the webcam when it is not in use. Connect to your network wirelessly using the fast 802.11ax Wi-Fi or use the Gigabit Ethernet port for a stable wired connection.

Powered to Go
The 45Wh battery is rated to last up to 9.7 hours between charges.
Windows 10
Start Menu
After its hiatus in Windows 8, the Start Menu has returned. Utilizing a combination of the traditional menu system and Windows 8's Live Tiles, the improved Start Menu gives you more information at a glance, showing notification information alongside your applications and other pinned items.
Cortana
Microsoft's digital personal assistant, Cortana can answer your questions with information gleaned from both your device and the internet at large. You can type or even talk with her, if your system has a microphone. Using her Notebook, Cortana keeps track of your needs and wants, and she learns over time to improve her information gathering skills.
Microsoft Edge
After nearly 20 years, Microsoft has finally replaced its Internet Explorer web browser. With Microsoft Edge, users can write directly on web pages and share notes with friends and colleagues. It also improves the online reading experience by adding a distraction-free mode and read-it-later functionality. Edge also has built-in Cortana integration; you can have her help you find a restaurant, make a reservation, and pull up directions without leaving your browser.
Windows Store
For Windows 10, Microsoft has unified the Windows Store. Now, apps for PCs, tablets, and phones will all be accessible from one place. And with support for Universal Apps, one version of an app can work across all your compatible devices automatically.
Windows Continuum
Windows 10 was designed for a variety of screen sizes and input styles, and with its Continuum feature, it automatically adapts to fit your needs. A Windows 10 tablet on its own requires a touch-centric approach, but attaching a mouse and keyboard will shift everything to a more traditional interface. You can even attach an external monitor to your Windows 10 phone for a near-desktop experience. But it's not just the operating system; Windows Universal Apps take advantage of Continuum as well.
Xbox on Windows 10
Gaming is a big focus of Windows 10. Xbox integration allows for PC players to match up against Xbox One players on supported games, and if you have an Xbox One, you can even stream compatible titles to your PC. Native support for recording with the new Game DVR feature makes it easy to capture and share your gameplay. The new DirectX12 takes better advantage of multi-core processors, giving games a performance boost, even on older hardware. Windows 10 also features native support for virtual reality headsets, such as the Oculus Rift.

B&H is my number one place to shop I got my first all-in-one HP computer from B&B back in 2011 for a great price and it still works! I got my first professional Canon camera from them as well back in 2013 for a steal. I just recently bought my mom a laptop from B&H just name a few

Good Value

I bought this device for my wife, who doesn't game, word process, or crunch numbers: She simply surfs. It's equip with great speed, memory, and a 256gb SSD HD. It's one of the few laptops that comes with a backlit keyboard, and a second set of 'function' keys that allow you to perform routine tasks (like speaker volume). Setup took about 40 minutes, and was painless. I would definitely recommend this laptop.

Literally the best value on the internet

It's all that you need. Pretty fast for casual tasks. browsing the web, looking a movies, light gaming. speakers are fine. screen is definitely better than absolutely anything at this price range. build quality is fine, its plastic. its flexible. but its fine. at $350 its a no brainer.

I really like the Lenovo IdeaPad but my only issue is that the key color and finish are difficult to read with my overhead lighting. The light reflects off the keys. I tried using a laptop desk stand to raise it up but that did not help. I'll just use a desk lamp next to the IdeaPad so the light is NOT directly overhead.

Asked by: Adrianne
That will depend on the requirements and compatibility of the specific editing software you will be using. We recommend you check with the specific editing software publisher's web sites of the software you will use, for their compatibility with Windows 10 Home 64-bit operating system and the minimum/recommended hardware requirements (Is a Graphics card required, the processor speed and the minimum required system RAM and the minimum available hard drive space) to run their program, then compare those requirements to this system's configuration.
