    An excellent machine for the price. It struggles with extensive multitasking, but that's to be expected on a device like this. I am not a fan of Windows 11 S mode, but that can easily be turned off. The only real complaint I have is that 128 GB of storage seems almost like a punishment for trying to save some money in a world of 1TB SD cards and flash drives. Other than that I really like this computer for its size, weight, display, keyboard, and just about everything else.

    After two weeks of regular use this laptop has met all of my needs. I have a more powerful gaming laptop that I was using, but the weight of the laptop and power supply was killing my back. The IdeaPad Slim has none of these issues. It is light with small power supply that doesn't wear me out when I carry it in my bag. I use this laptop for Excel, email, and other moderate use work tasks. The IdeaPad handles all of these tasks with ease. The large screen allows me to have multiple windows open without having to carry a separate monitor and the number pad makes data entry in Excel faster. This is my third Lenovo laptop and has met my expectations from the brand. This laptop has the lowest entry point of the three Lenovo laptops I have had and it does show in the details. The seams on the edge IdeaPad have a slight edge and there is a little more flex in the keyboard than the other laptops I have, full disclosure I am a heavy typist.

    Great Buy - Lenovo 15.6" Laptop

    Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6" Full HD Laptop with the Intel Core i3-N305, 8GB of memory, and 128GB UFS storage in Arctic Grey, and it has been a great fit for light, everyday computing. The slim and lightweight design makes it easy to carry, and the Arctic Grey finish gives it a modern, professional look. The 15.6" Full HD display offers clear visuals and good color quality for streaming, browsing, and general use. While the Intel Core i3-N305 isn’t built for heavy multitasking or demanding software, it runs smoothly for web browsing, email, word processing, and video calls. The 8GB of RAM helps keep basic tasks responsive, though the 128GB UFS storage fills up quickly if you store large files—making cloud storage or an external drive a good companion. Battery life is solid for a budget-friendly laptop, often lasting through a full workday of light use. The keyboard is comfortable, and the trackpad feels precise. Overall, this is a good choice for students, casual users, or anyone needing an affordable, portable laptop for simple tasks.

    I recently got my hands on the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i, and I have to say, it’s been a pleasant surprise! Right from the start, the 15.6" Full HD display really impressed me—everything looks so sharp and vibrant, whether I’m working on a presentation or just relaxing with a movie. The Intel Core i3-N305 processor and 8GB of RAM make multitasking feel effortless. I can easily switch between browsing the web, streaming my favorite shows, and working on documents without any frustrating slowdowns. The 128GB UFS storage is decent for my needs, but I can see how it might feel a bit tight if you have a lot of photos or large software to install. I love the sleek Arctic Grey finish; it gives the laptop a modern touch. Plus, it’s lightweight, which is perfect for me since I’m always on the go. The battery life has been pretty impressive too—I can work for hours without having to scramble for a charger. That said, there are a couple of things to keep in mind. The storage might not be enough if you’re someone who likes to keep a lot of media files handy. And while it’s great for everyday tasks, it might not be the best choice for heavy gaming or resource-intensive applications. Overall, I think the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is a solid pick for anyone in need of a reliable laptop. Whether you’re a student, a professional, or just someone who needs a dependable device for everyday use, I’d definitely recommend checking it out!
