    Pros - versatile for MS and Chromebooks. Able to download variety of apps so usable for school and home. OS is Microsoft and is familiar. Games are working well. Downloads and playing the games is good. Likes the screen, good size and easy to read, nice size for laptop, easy to carry around. Great price over Memorial Day weekend. Able to purchase accessories and 3 year warranty and still less than msrp. Cons - doesn’t like MS edge as search engine since it seems to use a lot of AI. Will switch search engines, Will be using at school and home. The sales person, Chris from the Rockford IL Best Buy store was extremely knowledgeable and helpful with this purchase. Enjoys the versatile screen savers. Note that some of the MS School apps require subscription.

    Lenovo IdeaPad Delivers Where It Count

    I appreciate practical value over flashy features. This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 in Abyss Blue serves as an excellent, reliable daily driver that punches above its price tag. Design: Lightweight, portable, and looks sharp, though the plastic body has minor flex. Display & Keyboard: Crisp 15.6" Full HD screen, though viewing angles are average. The keyboard is exceptional and highly comfortable for typing. Performance: The AMD Ryzen 5 processor handles dozens of browser tabs and spreadsheets effortlessly. Windows 11: OS navigation, boot times, and multitasking feel are fluid, thanks to the SSD optimization. Webcam: The built-in camera is adequate for standard video calls and Zoom meetings, though video quality gets grainy in low-light settings. Storage & Battery: The 8GB RAM and 256GB SSD are fast enough for casual use but best suited for general tasks rather than heavy media storage. Battery life averages a decent 5–6 hours. Pros: Snappy Windows 11 responsiveness Excellent tactile keyboard Fast Ryzen 5 performance Sharp, lightweight design Great overall budget value Cons: Narrow screen viewing angles Grainy webcam in low light Limited 256GB storage space Mediocre battery life It lacks premium metal materials, but for dependable everyday performance on a budget, it earns a solid 4 out of 5 stars.

    The overall preformance of the computer is pretty good it runs everything i need it to pretty quicklt (mostly school and prime video) it wont run any sort of heavy gaming and i assume kight gaming will be laggy on it because it already struggles to run multiple tabs at once if they are medium to heavy load. It isnt touch screen which is a bummer and the screen quakity is okay its not hd or anything it is more like a chromebooks screen quality which is good for work and such but overall for the price tag it runs pretty good. Ps the battery does pretty quickly on it its kinda lame on battery life

    I bought this laptop for college and wanted something that ran fast compared to my last laptop that was an HP. This works amazing and hasn’t giving me any issues. I can have a bunch of tabs open at once and it still won’t start running slow. The battery life lasts most of the day as well. It is great for completing assignments for college.

      Hi-

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We’re disappointed to hear that you’ve encountered performance issues with the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 and would like to offer suggestions to improve your experience.

      First, we recommend installing all available driver updates through Lenovo Vantage and Windows Update Settings. These updates are crucial to the device’s health and can affect performance. To check for updates in Lenovo Vantage, launch the application, then select the “Check for updates” button at the top right of the screen. To check for Windows Updates, launch the Settings app, select the Windows Update tab on the left-hand side of the page, then select the “Check for updates’ button in the top right of the page. Once the updates are installed, we recommend restarting the device.

      Secondly, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 lets you adjust the computer’s thermal mode. This lets your device cycle between higher-performance and quiet modes or automatically adjust based on your needs. To start, launch the Lenovo Vantage app, select the "Device Settings" tab on the left-hand side of the display, scroll down to "Power modes," and select the best mode for your needs. We suggest using Quiet mode, which will lower the temperature of your Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, reduce fan noise under load, and improve battery life. During gaming, we suggest changing the thermal mode to Performance to get the most out of your Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3. You can also toggle thermal modes with the Fn+Q hotkey.

      Please reach out to us through the Q&A section of this product webpage if you have any questions or need assistance.

      Best wishes,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    I had a 9 year old Lenovo laptop which was slowwww. I explained to the salesperson what I needed and was looking for and this was his suggestion. It's quick, it's light, is a nice color (though its smooth case does show fingerprints) and the store was helpful and speedy in helping me get it set up. Its slots don't quite take cables I had previously used for hardwiring and my printer but I haven't needed them and I can easily need to get replacements. I use the laptop at home primarily for email and visiting new websited too large to be accurattely viewed on my phone.

    I recently picked up a Lenovo laptop from Best Buy, and so far, I'm really happy with it! The staff at Best Buy were super helpful in guiding me to the right model for my needs, which was a great start. Setting it up at home was a breeze, and I was up and running in no time. Performance-wise, this Lenovo has been a champ. It handles all my daily tasks—browsing, streaming, and some light work—without any hiccups. The display is crisp and clear, making everything look great, and the keyboard is comfortable for typing, which is a big plus for me. The battery life has also been impressive, letting me work or watch movies for hours without needing to plug in. Overall, I'd definitely recommend this Lenovo laptop, especially if you're looking for a reliable machine that offers good value. Best Buy made the purchasing experience smooth, and the laptop itself has lived up to expectations. It's a solid choice for anyone needing a dependable computer for everyday use.

    I’ve been using the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 for a month, and i must say it’s been a reliable everyday machine. The Ryzen 5 processor handles multitasking smoothly and it is fast, also, the 15.6" Full HD screen looks crisp for streaming, browsing, and schoolwork. It boots quickly thanks to the 256GB SSD, and the overall design feels lightweight without feeling cheap. For basic productivity, schoolwork, and general use, it performs better than I expected at this price point (deal of the day steal). If you need a dependable laptop for daily tasks, this is a great choice and no regrets for the 1st few weeks

    We purchased two of these for homeschooling and they have been wonderful to use. They are the perfect size and do everything we need them to do and more! My kids love how easy they were to set up and they are able to take them on the go as needed. The screen is clear and they have great audio! Glad we purchased these and the price was excellent compared to others out there that don't have as many features with a smaller screen size!
