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.

    Not the worst and does run games pretty well, but the battery dies really fast when playing bigger games. And I think original price is way over priced when it comes to value in my opinion, and that's why I got it when it was on sale for $699.

    The price for the specs is a great steal. If you’re going to use this plugged in 9/10 of the time. The battery drains within an hour and this is with power saving options with or without gaming. Apart from the poor battery life, The specs are great.

      Thank you for choosing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 Gaming Laptop, model number 82K201XCUS. This model ships with a Integrated 45Wh, Lithium-Polymer Battery, which within this model configuration, has a battery life of up to 5 hours, depending on the work the device is performing. To maximize battery life between charges, set your Power Management Settings to a Hybrid mode. Some additional battery saving tips between charges are: Set your screen brightness at less than 100-percent - try 80-percent to start with. Then, be sure Battery Charge Threshold is turned off. This power management setting should only be used when the laptop is plugged in all the time. It will prolong overall battery life by only charging the battery to 60-percent of capacity. You can turn off Battery Charge Threshold within the Lenovo Vantage APP installed on this computer. In Vantage select Battery Settings and turn off Battery Charge Threshold, if turned on. Also check what programs are running in the background on the computer. Be sure only the programs you want running in the background are. These programs will drain the battery. Here is a link to information about how to find out what programs are running in the background on your Windows 11 computer and how to manage them for better system performance: https://websiteforstudents.com/how-to-find-what-is-running-in-windows-11/. Then, finally, be sure any software you installed is compatible with Windows 11. Incompatible software will drain the battery at a faster rate. There is no need to install Microsoft Office software. The software is already part of the operating system, you just need to activate the software with a purchased product key. If you have installed a copy of Microsoft Office, this is conflicting with the existing copy on the system and this will slow your system down. If you have installed a 3rd party anti-virus program, be sure that Windows Defender is turned off and that the trial version of McAfee Anti-Virus software is uninstalled. There can only be one anti-virus program on the system. You may need to restore your system to original factory default settings if any of the programming errors have occurred. You can do that by typing "restore" in the Cortana search window. Just click on the magnifying glass icon at the bottom of your Windows 11 Desktop. Click on "Reset This PC" Then click on "Get Started" and follow the on screen directions to restore to factory defaults. If the problem persists, we recommend you contact Lenovo Tech Support at: 877-453-6686. Lenovo

    It’s a nice laptop but don’t expect too much from it. I ended up returning cause I got it to play GTA V and this just couldn’t run it efficiently or barley at all in a playable state. Very good for some Xbox Gamepass games and WOW, league… streaming. 7/10 for playability these days

    Absolutely amazing if youre planing to play in this machine, it can easily run any esports game at 1080p without any problem, and recent games in mid-high settings. But, try to do your own research first, i tried to swap the 32Gb DDR4 3200 from my old laptop and it didnt recognize any of the sticks (it could be incompatibility problem or just doesnt support more than 16Gb)
