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

I was pretty excited to receive this IdeaPad Gaming 13 laptop.

This is an all-plastic laptop, but has a fairly rigid build, not like metal, but far less flex on the screen than my 5 year old Acer Aspire which needed many replacements due to flexing including a cracked screen, hinges, and back cover. This has 8 GB memory. This has and older GTX 1650. This has a 120hz display (unheard of at this price point) This has 256SSD m.2. It has a backlit Keyboard. It has an amazing processor: AMD Ryzen 5.

Ive had this for about a year now, great for any game I want to play. Amazing 120hz screen, its 1080p and has pretty good color matching. Performance is great, the Ryzen 5 5600h is amazing for any game and any task. The GTX 1650 is a little outdated but is good at gaming any game at mid to high settings and still get above 60fps. Great at rending, great at video and photo editing, and the coolers keep the cpu and gpu from over heating, have not had any thermal throttling at all. The port selections are good, having a type c hub is good if you have external accessories like me. Both USB type A ports are nice and fast, and the type c can do anything a usb c can do. Best buy for how much i got it for, which was $650. Good laptop if youre into moblie gaming but dont care about playing 4k at 200fps. Great for kids, cheap on price, but not performance. Only thing I did was upgrade the ram and storage and its been running perfect since. Out of all the other gaming laptops out there this one is best price for what youre getting.

the laptop came just like it said the laptop is a great way to start gaming the laptop runs good but could run a little better maybe try putting more ram in it and getting a cooler.

Apparently there is a fairly common issue of Wi-Fi dropping randomly. Not exactly sure why not drivers or anything like that. When I looked up fixes seems like a lot of people with this particular laptop have this issue. Most fixes involve reinstalling windows, going into bios or doing things I dont think I should have to do for a brand new computer. Drivers and updates are no big deal even small fixes are not a problem for me but having to reinstall windows or some other nonsense right out of the box, not happy.

I did alot of research prior to my purchase and this deal hands down was the absolute best for my use case.

I spent weeks trying to find the best budget laptop and landed on this one. For a while I stuck with Acer Nitro 5 as the main contender, but then I came across this one- the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3. Watched a lot of review videos on it and it had an overall better rating than the aforementioned acer laptop.

For whatever reason as my laptop arrived for Christmas whenever I try to connect to the internet it takes a long time for it to load and it does this for every app even for updates on the computer can someone help me?

I love my computer this is the brand i always buy. However this computer was not new the warranty had already been activated leaving me with only 8 months of coverage I will only purchase from Lenova like beforehand.

Great laptop, can handle everything I throw at it without a cooler pad. Its a laptop, so obviously it isnt going to play new games on max.
