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

Fast laptop. Battery does not last more then 2 hours while gaming. Fast to boot. Free upgrade to Windows 11. This laptop is rated a Best Buy from Consumer Reports

the laptop is good and I highly recommend it if youre on a budget. the processor and graphics card is good and I was able to play my favorite games on 1080p. the battery life overall is all right but if youre gonna play games I suggest you have your charger connected. the 8gb of ram is all right but what many people will say is to upgrade it to 16gbs. if youre gonna upgrade it make sure you have some there that know what theyre going otherwise you might mess up the motherboard. i give it a 9/10

Only complaint is the battery life is poor but I keep it plugged in so it matters not. Camera quality is sub par but I don’t use it. Other than that this laptop is a dream. Great purchase and I hope it lasts me a long time… I’ll post an update if I do happen to have problems.

This laptop is great for gaming and very easy to upgrade

When I first had my Nitro 5, there was a lot I loved about. It could reach 120fps and was decent for most of my games. I loved it. But when I had to upgrade, I genuinely didnt want to spend too much as a working student. I did a lot of research and yes, the top brands of ACER , ASUS, HP, ALIEN they had great laptops obviously. But finding this one was a god sent. I can clock out at 240fps on most of my games. The upgrades to 16gb RAM and to add my HYBRID drive was flawlessly easy. The design is very sleek, mint fresh and effortlessly classy and simple. In fact, it stays well hidden as a gaming laptop. Its lightweight and easily portable for travel as a student compared to the 7lbs most gaming pcs start with.

With a full charge and just casually browsing the battery can last at most 2hr30mins, in the task manager the ram caps at 5.9Gb of ram and the laptop idles at around 80% utilization of ram which is 4.7/5.9Gb while just browsing, the laptop comes with a 2.5 ssd drive tray so I guess you can install more storage if you want? Personally I plan on opening it up and seeing if can install more ram cause the 5.9gb of ram is really toeing the line and feels intentional by Lenovo to fleece just a little from consumers. I noticed the lower than advertised ram because a YT vid was taking forever to load even though I have good internet and noticed the laptops ram utilization was capping at 87% likely due to some bloatware and how low the ram was. This laptop needs at least the 8Gb of ram that was advertised in order to run comfortably for me otherwise youre pretty much going to have to close out of everything but the launcher and a game in order for it not to get strangled for ram. And if I can fit 16gb of ram Im going to do it 100%.

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.

My son uses it for Roblox and it runs smooth the picture quality is clear and beautiful he does not have any complaints so far. If hes happy so am I.

one thing to keep in mind the laptop doesnt come with the standoff screw for the second nvme ssd you can install in this laptop

I am going to buy this laptop for my son for christmas so he can play video games,and my so my son said that the laptop was really good and I researched it and I think it is really good
