The most recent Lenovo Ideapad 3 was released a year ago, and it is an exceptional laptop for professionals and students. This 15.6-inch laptop has a fashionable almond-colored chassis that is lightweight and ideal for travel, and the Ideapad 3 is currently available at a steep discount. It comes standard with 11th Generation Intel Core processors, an FHD display, a fingerprint sensor, and a USB-C interface. Investing more money will be necessary, but these enhancements may be worthwhile. Consult our analysis of the finest Lenovo laptops for more information.
The IdeaPad 3 features a 14-inch display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and it is an economically brilliant and sharp display. The bezels around the screen are thicker than you’ll find on the very finest laptops on the market, and the viewing angles and maximum brightness aren’t particularly impressive. However, this is a laptop that must be evaluated in relation to its price, and for the price, we were quite pleased.

Where to get Lenovo Ideapad 3?
Regarding the IdeaPad 3 15 we are discussing, the bottom panel was removed to reveal the internal components. Some devices have 4GB of RAM soldered to the motherboard, with an additional SODIMM slot available for upgrades. In this instance, a 4GB memory card provides dual-channel performance for the device. You can add a maximum of one 8GB memory card for a total of 12GB.
There is a single M.2 SSD port that includes a 2242 PCIe NVMe drive, and it can accommodate an M.2 2280 drive if you wish to upgrade. Next to the SSD is the M.2 slot for the Wi-Fi 5 card, which should technically be upgradable to a Wi-Fi 6 card if you so desire. Next to the battery, there is a vacant SATA drive bay that appears to have no connections. This likely remains from an earlier iteration. It has a relatively large fan and a solitary, thin heat pipe that runs to the Core i3 processor.
The performance of the Core i3-10110U processor is comparable to that of high-end 10th Gen and 11th Gen processors. As long as you do not attempt to perform too many tasks simultaneously, the two processors will be able to keep up. There should be no problem using the laptop for essay writing, financial spreadsheets, and video streaming. This should not be confused with a multitasking laptop. The SSD is remarkably quick, outperforming even the brand-new Surface Laptop 4 13. As for the battery, you can expect approximately seven hours of actual use. The IdeaPad 3 15 lasted 8 hours and 13 minutes when subjected to PCMark 10’s Modern Office battery endurance.
