Lenovo - 2021 - IdeaPad Gaming 3 - Laptop Computer - 15.6 FHD Display -120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 5600H - 8GB RAM - 256GB Storage - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - Windows 11 Home

Just right for my back to school son.

Allowed me to accessorize and upgrade memory and storage inexpensively. The stock cpu and gpu are great. Really lightweight.

It’s a decent laptop but it has its flaws. Tends to randomly freeze while playing. Most of the time my game would freeze and I can’t even minimize the game so the only way to get out is to restart the laptop. I mainly play warzone on modern warfare and I get avg 76fps on med settings. I also play gta v on max settings with an avg of 85fps. Other than that I would recommend building your own pc. You can build a stronger pc for the price of this laptop.

I decided replace my old desktop with a this 16 laptop. The Lenovo Ideapad 3i Gaming laptop was very competitively priced and the quality seems great. Very slick design and very lightweight for a 16 gaming laptop. The ram was very easy to upgrade to 16 GB. Boots up in seconds, the only thing is battery going dowe to fast.

Great value good performance.

Loving this laptop so far... I didnt buy this for gaming specifically, but thought if I wanted to play something in the future I Ill go ahead and spend a little more cash on a laptop that can handle the load. So far for office use, its extremely fast and competent; 0 issues with large excel workbooks - no lagging or slowing down even with just 8GB RAM, but I will expand this later just for the extra umph. The larger keyboard is terrific and each keypress is definite; gone are those vague inputs that have you constantly making type errors. I havent had it long, so I cant give it an extensive review, but from the week of so of use, its been 100% well worth it.

Let me start off by saying that I work as a data analyst. So naturally, I over-analyzed roughly 10 different laptops between the $600-$1,500 price range. This laptop was the laptop that provided the best performance-to-cost ratio. I needed this laptop for school (Comp Sci major). Ill go into a little detail below why this laptop is great.

broke within two uses

Basically, I bought 2 units for my friends to have Linux installed on the right the way with 32 GB of RAM, and 2TB of NVMes. Now, on the images that you see in the marketing section, you are going to find that this laptop suppose to have full size NVMe (2280) storage slots. However, it doesnt. While it has one slot that can hold full size NVMe (2280). On the other hand, the slot which is populated by manufacture, has small size NVMe (2248) storage. With no possibility to be swapped with 2280. This limits the main slot to only hold NVMe of size 2242, and cant hold a full size 2280 NVMe.

Installed extra RAM, as needed with Win11
