This machine is impressive. It is very well made - with a very pleasing exterior, and a very clean and well laid out interior. It provides more features at this price point than you can find elsewhere. For example - it gives two USB 3.1 Gen 2 ports, and a USB C port on the front! The engineering is well thought out. For example, the memory is two paired 4GB sticks, to optimize throughput. The machine is snappy and does the jobs it was designed for very well. One thing to take note of is that the machine is not designed for high end gaming, and really can't be upgraded to do so - it has a 180W interior power supply and a proprietary motherboard. But it does all the tasks characteristic of a home pc very well, and somewhat beyond. I am doing photo editing using Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop Elements, and they work very well. I have paired the PC with a 28" Samsung 4K monitor, and the images are stunning. For the price, you won't find a better machine anywhere.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Lenovo - Ideapad 3i 15.6" FHD Touchscreen Laptop - Core i3-1115G4 with 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Arctic Grey
The ultimate Smart Learning notebook, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i pairs up to 11th Generation Intel Core i3 processors with tailored work and learn from home solutions that address eye strain, posture problems and at-home distractions, while deploying intelligent thermals for a cool and whisper-quiet system. The new privacy shutter on the camera also lets you reserve complete control over your privacy in the home and beyond.
Do I need a technician to set this laptop up. I'm not super technical but my previous laptop was a Lenovo. And I just do the basics. No games or stuff like that. Just email and favorite websites.
My sister has little tech skills, and she had no difficulty setting this laptop up. You should be fine. Just be sure to have your wifi id and password ready, as well as your Microsoft account id and password.

How long does battery stay charged
It will depend on how the laptop is being used, and on the power settings used. If you run it with the display screen at max brightness, you will run the battery out faster than if the screen is run at half brightness. If you are streaming movies you will use up the battery faster than if you are just reading emails or working on a simple document. The number given by the manufacturer is probably what is obtained under optimal conditions.

Can I add an external hard drive for more storage????
There are two very fast ports on this laptop that you can attach an external drive to. One option that is very convenient is to add a tiny button drive, often called a FIT drive. These extend only a tiny amount from the laptop, and can remain attached even in a sleeve or a case. Here is a link to such a drive that is very economical:

Can you charge this with the USB-C port? Does the USB-C port support display-out?
The usb-c port on this laptop does not support display-out. But you can use the included hdmi port to do that.
