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 bought this laptop for my college classes. I bought this laptop cause it was cheap and I only need a laptop for basic requirements like online classes and assignments. So, low specs would not have been a problem for me. I am not a computer science or engineering student so I don’t need programming/coding. All I needed was fast internet browsing and battery life. This laptop failed both the purposes. Not even two weeks and this laptop started getting slow. The battery would last only 1-2 hours when the specs says the battery life is around 7-8 hours. I could barely use it for one class. I couldn’t use it for my 5 hour upper division lab class either. The laptop also would stop responding in middle of working. There was also a weird sound when the laptop would start and it would also come when I would play any video. The screen also had started flickering. I would start a video and the screen would start flickering then black out and stop responding. I would have to shut it down using power button and restart the laptop. This issue started occurring very often. So, I had to return it. I already got the refund so that was nice.

I know you get paid for allowing these security software companies to pre install their 3 month free software but please leave it off. It took longer than anything else to uninstall and reinstall my chosen security suite. Include a key code for a “free” tryout instead

I used this laptop just a couple times a week, yet every week I had to charge this or it would die. I used only for a few hours a week, around 10 hours at most. even if it was on sleep or shut down, it would still drain. after calling amazon, they refuse to do anything, and when I called the company they hung up on me. in addition recently the cursor has been giving me problems to. Besides for the battery its pretty decent. its pretty smooth, and even with a bunch of tabs open it doesnt really slow down. the battery might have been defected but the customer service is not very much existent

For designing with photoshop or illustrator the laptop runs very well. Light gaming is also ok. The battery lasts quite long and it’s very comfortable for everyday use.

Fast computer no doubt for what it is but if you are doing any type of tedious work like editing videos stay way away from the mouse on this one. Its a lot bigger than alot of laptops and the you will constantly right clicking and instead of left clicking wouldnt buy again for that to be honest.

Minimal bloatware, good hardware, easy to upgrade stock RAM. This is probably the best I’ve seen at this price range. 8/8, would r8 again.

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

Bought this for my 16 year old that wanted to switch to PC gaming. He loves it! The battery lasts a great amount of time and he has had zero issues so far.

The laptop is a very good done does everything that I need it to so. Its fast and keeps cool.

It arrived in perfect conditions, it works really well, I dont usually use it for games and when I do you NEED to have a fan because it can get hot, but apart from that, I have no complaints. Definitely it is a really good laptop to study or even work remotely. Its really fast and Ive been using it for about 6 months now and I have no errors or glitches
