The laptop is comparatively faster than my older Lenovo laptop. External hard drive will be needed since internal storage is only 250 GB. 16GB memory allows multiple apps running simultaneously. This laptop comes with Windows 11s and allows to install apps from the Microsoft Store only. If you want to install an app that isn't available in the Microsoft Store, you'll need to switch out of S mode and you can't go back to S mode.

This IdeaPad 1 has completely exceeded my expectations!
For the price point, you're getting specs that punch way above its weight class. The Ryzen 5 7520U processor handles multitasking like a champ, and the 16GB RAM means I can have multiple browser tabs, documents, and apps open without any slowdown.
The 15" FHD display is bright and crisp - perfect for gaming sessions, Zoom meetings, and everyday work. Colors are vibrant and text is sharp, which makes long work sessions much easier on the eyes. The 256GB SSD ensures lightning-fast boot times and snappy performance throughout.
I use this laptop for gaming, video calls, work, and browsing, and it hasn't skipped a beat. Zoom meetings are crystal clear with smooth video quality, and I can game comfortably without major lag. The Abyss Blue color is gorgeous and feels more premium than the price suggests. The keyboard is comfortable for typing, and the trackpad is responsive.
Battery life gets me through a full workday without scrambling for a charger. It's lightweight enough to carry around but feels sturdy and well-built.
If you need a reliable, capable laptop for everyday use without spending a fortune, this is IT. Whether you're a student, working from home, gaming casually, or just need a solid computer for video calls and productivity, the IdeaPad 1 delivers incredible value. Highly recommend!

at the store theh were showing a much higher end model, claiming to be this model. I ordered it online and it arrived and clearly the screen is washed out compared to what i saw at the store. fortunately it had 16gb of ram and it ran beautifully. I immediately installed Linux Mint on it and got up and running in 10 mins.

Retired from a 30+ career as a network/computer guy.
I purchased this laptop for my god daughter who has just started high school.
A very nice *BASIC* laptop.
Very capable for Word documents, Excel spread sheets, surfing the web and streaming.
As the entry level IdeaPad, the display used is an FHD/TN panel, and not the more expensive IPS panel. This means a somewhat narrower viewing angle than an IPS display.
This laptop is a fine performer FOR WHAT IT IS.

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is a solid budget-friendly laptop that offers a decent mix of performance and features for everyday tasks. With its sleek design and comfortable keyboard, it feels comfortable for long typing sessions. Powered by various Intel or AMD processors, depending on the configuration, it handles web browsing, word processing, and light multitasking well, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks like gaming or heavy video editing.
The display, a 15.6-inch Full HD screen in most versions, offers crisp visuals for watching videos or casual use, though it can be a bit dim in bright environments. Battery life is reasonable, typically lasting 6-8 hours with moderate use, but again, not remarkable.
The build quality is mostly plastic, so while it's lightweight and portable, it doesn’t feel as premium as more expensive models. The speakers are fairly average, and while the laptop offers solid connectivity options.
For its price range, the IdeaPad 3 delivers good value for those who need a simple, reliable laptop for everyday use. It’s not a powerhouse, but if you’re on a budget and need something for basic tasks, it’s definitely worth considering.

I’ve had no issues. I’m not really a tech person but I found it easy to set up and get started in no time. I was told by my daughter I would be pleased with this choice and she was correct. I’ll have to take her out for a steak dinner. In addition this computer is really fast and the amount of storage is phenomenal.

got this on the black friday buy saving a couple hundred. this little machine is loaded with 16 gb of ram for those memory hungry applications. i would not say a true gamers machine, but with all the ram will be okay for most with the ryzen 5 processor. windows 11 home for every day use and school or college, surfing internet or doing term papers. i recommend this at a discount price when they are on sale

This is a very nice basic laptop. The 16G RAM really helps with the speed. It does lack storage space but you can add an SD card to increase the memory. The only issue I have the display brightness. With it set to 100% it is still to dim for my taste.
Also this unit does not work with my HP docking station.
