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.

    This has UNACCEPTABLE behavior when simply using youtube on firefox it FREEZES THE ENTIRE WINDOWS 11 DESKTOP you cannot ctrl+alt+del because it is fundamentally BROKEN. and only has 3.5GB of RAM available out of the full 8GB. This is an inexcusable TRASH LAPTOP for $900 i only paid a fraction and STILL got ripped off. An INTEL i3 LAPTOP can do better than this junk trash excuse for a GAMING LAPTOP. In short just get 40 series laptop or ignore anything ending with a 50 by Nvdia. I knew this was low end when i got it.... BUT FREEZING ON A BROWSER!?!?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?!?!? Games run ig but not the point it FROZE! HARD FROZE ON A BROWSER WATCHING 1 TAB OF YOUTUBE AND THE ONLY WAY IS TO HOLD THE POWER BUTTON TO CONTINUE!?!?!?!? ARE YOU KIDDING ME ARE YOU GUYS INSANE?!?!?!?!?!? THIS DID NOT HAPPEN ON MY I3 BY THE SAME LENOVO BRAND, RIDICULOUS! SHAMEFUL!

    I mistakenly assumed that all Lenovo's were touch screen, this one is not, sadly. Other than that, I am satisfied with my purchased.

    Very annoying "corrections" and "suggestions" popping up as I'm writing are distracting. I'm not a gamer, so maybe I got the wrong machine.

    Pretty decent laptop. Ran serious sam 4 and alien isolation pretty smooth. But, I can't hear anything. I don't know if it is just expected to use external speakers or headphones, but I travel and don't bring much more than a mouse. And often I multi task... so I sometimes use headphones but not always. I got out my old Lenova Yoga and that thing is twice as loud as this Ideapad Gaming 3. Returning it tomorrow.
