Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Laptop, 14.0 FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage, AMD Radeon 7 Graphics, Windows 11 Home, Abyss Blue

good for the money

Not yet used extensively but like item

When I first got this laptop, for months it would turn itself off at random times a few times each day while I was using it without any warning whatsoever. Eventually, that stopped happening (maybe it was fixed by a software update), but not long after I started having problems with my internet. The computer would randomly disconnect from the internet for up to 30 seconds every once in a while. At first, it didnt happen that often, but over time it began occurring more and more frequently until now it happens once every couple minutes. I know the issue isnt my wifi because my other computer and my phone (with mobile data turned off) have no issues with the internet.

This laptop is both powerful and beautiful. For the price, this is probably the best one out there. Unfortunately, mine had a QC issue, where the keyboard backlight did not work due to a faulty physical connection, but was able to sort it out myself. Im really happy with this purchase.

It is good if used for light games and otherwise more normal tasks or browsing. if you want to play ANY type of game with this device make sure you have a power source or outlet ready, as this thing drains its internal battery VERY quickly. If plugged in though, after maxing out its settings for performance it can actually run most games on low or medium pretty well. All in all it ran the majority of Games better than I expected for an entirely non-gaming laptop. If your desperate, this can run many things on low settings enough for them to be playable.

I was really expecting this to be a cheap computer for basic tasks around the house. This thing actually plays decent games like DayZ and Apex on low to moderate settings.

this wont blow your mind if youre looking for a gaming laptop, but its a very powerful AMD Ryzen laptop at a price point youll only find with budget laptops rocking a Celeron or other wimpy CPU.

This was without a doubt the WORST laptop I have ever used!!!

I had high hopes for this machine ordered on Prime Day. Delivered promptly buy it wasnt long before I had problems. The keyboard worked on boot up but once Windows loaded only the fn keys worked. I had two calls to tech support attempting to resolve the problem using the TouchPad keyboard for input. Finally was told to send in to Lenovo for service. I didnt want to return it to Amazon for credit because I would have lost out on the Prime Day discount.

This review is written having owned and used this laptop a month-and-a-half. Full Disclosure: I didnt even boot Windows 11, I wiped it immediately and installed Ubuntu (22.04), my OS of choice for a decade
