Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15 Laptop, 15.6 FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage, Windows 10H

The person this went to loves it.

I bought 4 of this model. 2 of them were bought at regular discounted price and was pristine sealed condition with unwrinkled plastic and no problem. The other 2 i bought during black friday 2021. Both had wrinkled plastics when opened and one had blinking charging light problem which was fixed by draining the battery and recharging it. The other had a defective usb3 port and 2 lightly discolored spots on top. Beware black friday deals maybe laptops returned by customers.

I wanted to get a computer for some light gaming without dropping a huge sum of money. This is a great computer and runs everything that I have installed extremely well. I have played Outriders on it with no issues.

2-Week Review: This laptop is everything I hoped it would be for the price. Im using it for gaming, 1080p video editing, and watching movies. Its wicked fast compared to the 6 year old Dell business laptop I was using before. I added a 1TB nvme drive and an extra stick of 3300MHZ ram for a total of 16GB. Opening the case was fairly easy but it would be nice to have a simple switch you can slide that would unlock the bottom part of the case, instead of having to pry it open.

Upon arrival, the computer would not boot up. Furthermore, the build quality looks cheap, like plastic. It seems like a deal but isnt. Avoid this product.

This is my personal review.

STAY AWAY FROM THIS SELLER. The computer stopped booting after using it for three weeks. We worked with tech support but they couldnt fix it. I sent it back and five weeks later they still hadnt processed my return or refund. I contacted Amazon customer support and they said they would send the refund. Then when it came through it was $150 less than what I paid. They called it a restocking fee. Even though the product they sold me was clearly defective and BROKE AFTER THREE WEEKS.

Using it for gaming but 5 days after the possible return date, the screen started flickering non-stop. Amazon wont help with a return even though its only 5 days past the return date. Get something better if you can afford it. Itll be worth skipping the hassle.

4 stars was too low, because this thing is amazing for the price! I wanted a cheap laptop with an NVMe drive, expandable memory, a decent CPU, and a separate video card. This delivered and I was loving it for the week I had it. Sadly I use a mouse nearly all the time and the usb 3.0 ports were not working. I used an adapter and plugged my mouse dongle into the usb-C port while I waited to hear back from Lenovo. They are currently fixing it free of charge. They even connected me to the facility that was working on it so I could pester them about what exactly they were replacing. I wish there hadnt been this issue but it doesnt seem to be a common one, and theyve been very attentive about getting it fixed. If it were an option Id do 4.5 stars, but since it isnt I figured Id give them the benefit of the doubt and give what I would without this issue.

Makes a lot of noise.
