Customers are saying

Customers commend the Ideapad Gaming 3 for its strong performance, especially in gaming, and its upgradable RAM, making it a good value for the price. However, some users point to shortcomings in battery life and storage capacity as areas for improvement. The screen brightness and potential overheating issues were also noted as concerns by a few customers. While generally considered easy to use, some users suggest considering upgrades to the power supply and storage for optimal performance.

    Great for the price, but would be better with more RAM. The only downside is the 8GB of RAM that can easily be upgraded.

    A decent laptop for the price. Base laptop is good for basic games and browsing only due to 8 GB RAM and 256 GB SSD. Laptop is easy to upgrade and good for longevity.

    Straight out of the box easy to start and use. Replaced a 12-year-old laptop. Much faster. Comes with Windows 11, which is okay, but should be reviewed separately.

    Works absolutely perfect, although if you do lots of gaming you might need a new ram stick. My option was very cheap and gets the job done great.
