This Lenovo ideapad 3 (15") Intel Core i5 has been an invaluable tool for college classes and projects. With its snappy response to most anything I have needed to run on it, its multi=tasking capability has come in handy with side-by-side web pages and word documents, allowing me to complete my assignments with fluidity and clarity. It is light weight, touch-screen, and quite sturdy. I also have used a previous version of this same laptop, which came with a very blocky adapter that often fell out of the socket and was as annoying as it was necessary to plug it in constantly; seeing as the battery life was awful. This model, however, has a much better charger that is sturdier and better designed to get the job of charging completed, hasse-free. IN addition, the battery itself outshines the previous Lenovo ideapad 3 by about 4-5 hours whilst accomplishing similar tasks and work-load. This laptop was an absolute bargain. I spent under $500 for a computer without lag or lack of anything (disk drive aside) [Which I have already] I'm not sure what else a good review would include, but overall, I have no complaints, only compliments.

This laptop computer is a good standard for comparison with others. It has the key desirable features that provide greatest capability to price ratio. The 15.6-inch display is large enough for easy viewing, but small enough to keep the laptop lighter and more portable than a 17-inch gaming system (for example). The Core i5 processor has plenty of power, but runs cooler than Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The 8GB RAM is adequate and works fine. The 512GB SSD is a lower capacity drive but adequate for most situations given the increased use of cloud apps and cloud storage. A computer with Core i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 17-inch display would typically be much more expensive, run hotter, and be big and heavy. So, unless a person needs those higher specs, a mid-range laptop like this Lenovo makes a good choice.

I really like this computer. It has a big touch screen that is super responsive. I like having the 10-key number pad also. The computer is super light and fast. My only complaint is that the battery does not last long, so you do have to charge often. Also, with it being so light, it's hard to open with one hand, because the bottom is not heavy enough as you pull up the lid. Other than that, I am pleasantly pleased with Lenovo and this laptop.

Excellent laptop! I bought it for my daughter and used it a few times. The visual is beautiful and the speed is really really great! I was kind of shocked to be honest. 8gb ram and 512ssd is pretty decent for her school work and her gaming. The battery life is good, can’t complain. I guess it depends on what your activity is.

Lenovo did an excellent job with this IdeaPad 3. It comes equipped with an Intel i5 processor, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM and a 15.6” touch screen display. Battery life is decent. And for $400, this laptop is a steal. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.
