    Powerful Multitasking Project Revitalizer

    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.

    Great Laptop - Optimal Price to Performance Ratio

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    I really like this laptop , it’s our first time owning a touch laptop and we love it , it is easy to maneuver, especially for my mom because she still has some trouble with technology , so with this touch laptop she feels like it’s just like her phone where she can just swipe up and down , left and right . It also works very well with my brothers homework .

    This laptop is AMAZING! I bought this as a start up business laptop and my business is THRIVING! The programs I needed to build my business were easily accessible, the graphics are 100/100, the touch screen capabilities make it easier to use with today’s technology (ie iPhones). You get the laptop and touchscreen tablet like experience all in one. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting a new laptop!

    Fast SSD, smooth touchscreen & lightweight snappy

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 15.6″ with an i5-1155G7, 8 GB RAM, and 512 GB SSD is a solid everyday laptop designed for students, home, and office use. It delivers smooth performance for web browsing, Office tasks, streaming, and light multitasking. The 512 GB SSD makes it responsive, with fast boot and app loading times. Its touchscreen display adds flexibility, though brightness and color accuracy are only average. The lightweight build makes it portable, but the plastic body feels less premium compared to higher-end models. Battery life is decent for casual use, lasting several hours, but it may not hold up for long travel days. While the keyboard and touchpad are comfortable, the 8 GB RAM can feel limiting if you run heavy apps or many tabs at once. Integrated graphics mean it is not suitable for serious gaming, video editing, or design work. Under heavier loads, the fan may get noisy, and the laptop can warm up. Overall, it offers excellent value at its price point, ideal for budget-conscious users needing reliable performance without advanced power or premium build.

    I used to have a different Ideapad model and I loved it, that's why I got a similar one this time. I like the touch screen and the color. It works great and I've discovered some new features that my last Idepad didn't have (which I really enjoy) but I miss some others that this new model doesn't include (nothing big tho, I mostly miss the refresh key). I'm happy with my purchase. Great for watching movies because of the wide matte screen. **Looks very bright in the photo but it's not that much.

    I needed to change laptops in the middle of a semester of nursing school and this laptop has yet to disappoint me. The battery life is amazing, I only need to charge it once maybe twice depending on what I am doing. It is able to handle all my tabs being open and also handle split screen!

    Good laptop, bad battery life. Upgradeable.

    I would say all in all, this is a good laptop for a great deal ($400). It's pretty zippy and the specs are pretty good. It has an open slot to add additional ram, which I did. I added 16gb for a total of 24gb of ram. So a 512gb ssd hard drive and 24gb of ram in a i5 laptop for less than $500 after taxes and ram upgrade is a pretty great deal. The one downside though.......battery life. It's pretty abysmal. I'm lucky if I get 2.5 hrs out of this thing. It's OK for my needs, but buyer beware. And maybe it's just par for the course on these low to mid range laptops???

    Nice laptop for the price. The battery life is decent, it might last around 5 hrs. I feel I always have to charge it, but it does charge fast. I can't find the sleep option when I want to step away from my laptop. The screen is nice, and it is not that heavy. overall, I have been enjoying using this laptop.

    Does everything smoothly, even without upgrading the RAM. Will max the RAM and I doubt there will be a need for a faster computer. I do a lot of web surfing, office use, gameplay, audio recording, and video editing, and it does it all just perfectly.
