Customer Ratings & Reviews

Had this laptop for a short time, but so far it’s been pretty good. Great speed and ease of use for the price point. It’s ideal for internet browsing and minor use, just the reason for my purchase.

Great products still use it for everything, great for traveling.

Got this for my dad and he is a lightweight user. Mainly used for watching youtube, reading the news, checking emails, and playing games like solitaire. Sleek design, good amount of ports, and functional. 4 stars because there is no ethernet port on the laptop, but that's pretty standard nowadays.

Great laptop for the price. Always powers up rapidly and runs very fast.

I chose this laptop based on a recommendation from a tech website and it's been great. Best Buy really does have the best prices on electronics. I didn't want to overspend on high-end functionality that would go unused and this was a great balance of specs to cost. It's bigger than I was picturing, so the extra screen space is really nice. The display is sharp and it's very responsive. After years of a Chromebook, it's a relief to have something that can do so much. I was a little concerned that 8 MB wouldn't be enough, but it's fine. Unless you will be doing a ton of graphic intensive gaming or you keep 100 apps and tabs open at a time, this is plenty. It's more than enough for video streaming, looking at websites and productivity functions like Word or Excel, etc. Very pleased with this purchase!

Overall, this is a decent laptop that handles my work tasks smoothly. Performance has been reliable, and I haven’t run into any major issues. The only thing I’m still trying to fine-tune is the display gamma.. It doesn’t feel quite right out of the box. Colors seem a bit off, and it’s been tricky to calibrate it to a more natural tone. Not a dealbreaker, but something to be aware of if color accuracy is important to you.

This thing is awesome! Got it for a deal and I have not regretted it at all. It's fast, has pretty decent memory, it's responsive and has great battery life!

This is a good laptop that fits the budget especially I bought on sale. Good display and keyboard and is relatively light weight and slim. I do not intend to use it for gaming but is very good for day to day and light business tasks.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i 15.6" Full HD Laptop with an Intel Core i3-N305, 8GB RAM, and 128GB UFS storage is a surprisingly strong performer for its budget-friendly price. After using it extensively for everyday tasks, I can confidently say that this laptop delivers outstanding value for anyone looking for a dependable and user-friendly device for school, work, or home use. Let’s start with design. The Arctic Grey finish is clean and modern, and the laptop feels slim and lightweight despite having a large 15.6" screen. It’s easy to carry around, and the build quality is solid for its price range. The matte finish does a good job of resisting fingerprints and smudges, keeping it looking clean even after hours of use. The Full HD display is crisp and clear — ideal for web browsing, document editing, and streaming. While not the most color-rich panel out there, it does its job admirably and offers good brightness for indoor use. I was pleasantly surprised by the viewing angles and how sharp videos look at 1080p. Performance-wise, the Intel Core i3-N305 processor handles basic multitasking smoothly. With 8GB of RAM, I’ve been able to run multiple tabs, stream content, and do light productivity work (like spreadsheets, Zoom meetings, and word processing) without any slowdowns. The 128GB UFS storage is faster than a traditional HDD and offers quick boot times and fast app launches. While the storage may be limited, it’s enough for users who rely on cloud storage (Google Drive, OneDrive, etc.) or need a secondary device. The keyboard is comfortable and quiet with full-size keys and a dedicated number pad — a huge plus for students and anyone working with data. The trackpad is responsive and accurate, which is something you don’t always get in this price tier. Battery life is impressive for a budget machine. I’ve consistently gotten around 7 to 9 hours on light to moderate use — enough to get through a full workday or classes without scrambling for a charger. The laptop also charges quickly via USB-C, which is convenient if you're already in the USB-C ecosystem. Other thoughtful touches include a webcam privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 6 support, and quiet cooling — all features that enhance usability without adding extra cost. Overall, the IdeaPad Slim 3i is a fantastic entry-level or secondary laptop. It’s fast enough for everyday tasks, looks great, and is extremely affordable. If you’re a student, casual user, or someone looking for a no-fuss laptop that just works, this is a top contender. For the price, you're getting a lot more than you'd expect. Highly recommended if you’re on a budget but still want a responsive, modern laptop.

Nice little inexpensive laptop. Primarily purchased for email and internet stuff. Certainly not a hi powered graphics gaming computer but that’s. It why I bought it.

Working great for my first year college student! Simple and sleek, easily carried in his backpack.

Great preforming computer with very little storage. It’s all I needed

I was up late sitting in bed one night and I spilled honey all over my computer. Long story. Well I had to go trade it out for a new one and the ideapad 3i in Grey. What an amazing piece of machinery. My videos used to buffer all the time and I thought it was the internet. Well nope, it doesn't do it anymore. This computer also knows me. It somehow turns on when I sit next to it. I've called her Peter for now but I think I'll name her Sapphire, like the rock. I'll be back next time for the new model if I spill honey on this new one.

It's a solid laptop if you are not worried about storage, and the screen is also not the best.

For the price, this laptop is a solid value. Battery, keyboard, and display work perfectly fine. I highly recommend.

Bought this for my daughter, who is doing virtual High School. It is perfect! She hasn't had any issues with it at all. The storage seems to be perfect for what she needs to do a lot of projects. The screen and graphics are very clear.

This is a great computer, the weight is perfect, the screen size is perfect. I spent a little extra during the holidays $350 from $199. because of the 16GB and it a mid level performance. 10 hours battery life is great what is better is I used a car converter to recharge it and it recharge very quickly. The only drawer back is I am having trouble installing new programs on it. It's rejected installation from some third parties. I'm looking into what. I even adjusted it in that Control Panel system App section to accept third parties and that didn't work. But the main things did work. So overall 5 stars. Even if you get it at $399.

This is a fast, easy working, and adorable computer. I've had it for about a month and so far I have no complaints. I love how it's big but also light weight

I got it on sale. It was really good value for the money. Connects seamlessly with my Motorola Edge+ 2023 (Snapdragon 8 Gen 2) through Smart Connect. It's like Samsung Dex. I'm used to OLED and IPS screens. As a result, looking at this TN display from an angle is disappointing. It's expected for the price point though. It's equipped with a basic i3 chip, integrated graphics, and the system is very optimized. The 10-key makes data entry for remote work a breeze. Strongly recommend as a first laptop or one for basic tasks.

Joe provided detailed and excellent customer service. He was patient, friendly, professional, and informative about the various manufacturer products. He listened to what I wanted, and he made me feel very confident and comfortable in the item I chose to purchase. Also, even though I was able to hold the midsize item, with a kind smile & without hesitation he took the item to my vehicle and loaded it into my vehicle. He is the best sale's person I have encountered in a while. He wasn't trying to just sale me something and get rid of me, I could tell he wanted me to be pleased with whatever I decided to purchase and not have to bring it back because I wasn't sure or displeased later.
