The 3 Series is on the cheaper end of Lenovo’s Ideapads. They are made to be used at home and in school for everything from typing documents to streaming TV shows. If you have a lot of work to do and need a bit more power, the Ideapad 5 series has more advanced hardware in the same small size.
The IdeaPad 3 has a small 14-inch screen with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels. The screen is pretty bright and clear. The bezels around the screen are thicker than what you’ll find on the best laptops on the market, and the viewing angles and maximum brightness aren’t great, but this is a laptop you have to judge by its price, and we were very happy with it for what we paid.

Where to get Lenovo Ideapad 3?
Lenovo gives the IdeaPad 3 14 a solid keyboard that is similar to the one on the V14, but the pressure point is more clearly defined. The flat, slightly roughened keys move about 1.5 mm on average, making typing easy and fun. There is no need to light up the keys.
The matte IPS display with a resolution of 1,920 x 1,080 pixels has a good brightness of 313 cd/m2 and a good contrast ratio of almost 1,000:1. The subpixels are not grainy, and the picture quality is very good from a user’s point of view.
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 is perfect for use in the office and for doing things on the Internet. This is made possible by a fast AMD Ryzen 3 5300U with an RX Vega 6 iGPU and 8 GB dual-channel DDR4-3200 RAM (4 GB soldered and 4 GB plugged in), which in our test sample can be upgraded to 36 GB in one slot.
