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

I got this on Prime Day as a backup/secondary laptop. When I received it, I wanted to give it a good, solid test run, so I used only this laptop for everything I did for about three weeks. I found it to be surprisingly fast and I had no problems at all running my usual stuff--many tabs open in Chrome, Word, streaming video, email, music, etc. The screen is average/above-average. The keyboard is quite nice to type on! The trackpad is okay, but I did have some irritating moments where it wasnt always as responsive as I needed it to be. The battery life, sadly, was sub par for me. Even keeping the screen brightness turned down to no more than middle of the road, I couldnt really get much more than 3 or maaaaaybe 4 hours. I tinkered with settings to try to help the issue, but in this day and age, I feel like I shouldnt have to reduce everything to the bare, bare minimum to squeeze out 4 hours of battery life. Not when I can get a full day of use on my other laptops without charging.

I purchased this laptop for school & it was shipped out of the US via a freight forwarding company, The screen is not working as seen in the video it continues to flicker.I reached out to customer care & they cannot refund partially to fix the laptop as sending it back to the US would be very costly.

The screen is bad but big enough for home office, for gaming and entertainment is very dull. The specs though are great for gaming or multitasking even for a laptop without dedicated video card. Battery lasts enough, about 3-4 hours of heavy use

I love this laptop, its able to handle youtube, 2 browser tabs, and my discord open at the same time without causing lag or making the laptop fans go off cause the laptop is working harder(thats as much as Ive had open at one time, havent tested the limit yet). The picture quality is great and the speakers are good. The only thing that so far has seemed to fall below par is the microphone. During a Google Teams class, they had trouble hearing anything I was saying so I found myself raising my voice to almost a yell. Even after messing with the mic input via the control panel, it still seems to just not transmit my voice loud enough. But that has been the only thing that has let me down.. so for the price, I can take that one drawback.

I thought I ordered the touchscreen but I guess not.

I’m writing a book. This is great for that. The keys are nice to type on, they light up for low lit bedrooms, battery lasts decently long, light and fairly small, durable feeling with good cooling. The screen folds back pretty far and has good color. This would work really well for a student as well. Don’t buy this if you want to play games. In fact, don’t buy a laptop at all for games. Build a pc instead. I don’t have a single gripe for the purpose I purchased it for.

Overall super great experience. Wish I had a little more storage but still great. Preforms great in work and had an ok experience in gaming. The laptop struggles a bit when playing big games but its a laptop so its expected. touch screen didnt work but doesnt really matter, maybe its faulty. But windows 11 was smooth and had a lot of fun and super super good for price.

What an awesome deal for this computer! Light weight, really fast, long battery life, good looking! I use it for a lot of video and music editing, runs these big programs with ease.

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.

Runs smooth
