Biggest con is the Screen

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
When people complain about the screen, it is to bright. I cannot seem to change it and I already put the gamma to it's lowest setting and the brightness scale does not help the issue. The memory is bad and gets eaten up easily (as in 1 tab), Mcafee and bloatware. Sounds is below average but passable. it techinically works but the poor display is a critical issue.
Thak you for sharing your feedback with us. We're sorry to hear that this IdeaPad fell short for you in some ways. We strive to provide the best experience possible, and we'd like to work with you to address what you shared.
If you cannot adjust brightness, this is likely a software error. To try to resolve this, we recommend ensuring you have the latest software by checking for updates, as this could correct the issue. To do so, first, open the Settings app > Select the Windows update tab > Select the Check for updates button, apply all available updates. Next, open the Lenovo Vantage app > on the homepage, select the Check for updates button, following on-screen prompts to apply all available updates here as well.
The above steps can help to address performance issues as well, and if you're unsatisfied with any preinstalled software, we recommend uninstalling it, as it may improve your sentiments on the system, along with boosting performance if you believe it is negatively impacting stability as you alluded to.
Please feel free to share any updates and to let us know if you need further assistance, or what else we can do to improve your experience, as your satisfaction is important to us.
Best regards, Lenovo

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!

I bought this Lenovo laptop primarily to run music 24/7 at my business via Spotify and Bluetooth, and so far it’s been excellent. It stays connected, runs smoothly, and hasn’t had any issues with Bluetooth dropping or performance slowing down.
I didn’t need anything fancy — just something reliable, fast enough, and stable — and this has delivered exactly that. Setup was easy, it feels responsive, and it’s been running continuously without problems.
I’ve only had it for about a month so far, but based on my experience, I’m very happy with it and would recommend it for anyone who needs a dependable, no-nonsense laptop for everyday tasks.

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.

Really happy with this Lenovo Slim 3i! The screen looks great, it's fast enough for everyday stuff like emails, videos, and even some light multitasking. It's slim, lightweight, and easy to carry around. Battery life holds up pretty well too. For the price, it’s a total win. Just a super reliable laptop that gets the job done without any fuss.

For the price tag, this laptop has a lot to offer and runs surprisingly quick. However, you definitely "get what you pay for" in certain areas. The screen quality isn't high-end and has poor viewing angles, though the matte finish eliminates glare (it actually looks a bit like a Kindle screen, which I didn't mind). Also, be aware that the keyboard is off-centered, which might be annoying for some typists. Overall, a solid budget machine if you can overlook the quirks.

Bought this laptop for my elderly mom to surf the web. It is very light, has a long lasting battery and more than enough processing speed to accomodate her.
Great price, great machine.

I am very happy with this full size inexpensive laptop. It does everything that I need and with a full size keyboard and screen. Now I have the same access as I have with my home computer when I hit the road. The built in memory is sufficient. With cloud storage I am all set. It is plenty fast for me. The display is good for anything that will do. I don't know how long the battery will last, but so far so good.

Great for the price!
I got it on sale, and it does everything I need it to do for a secondary office laptop.
It is running the latest windows and did not take long to set up.
The laptop is light, boot time is minimal, and not a lot of bloatware which is common with other similar laptops.
Now for the downsides. The touch pad is a little wonky, it sometimes makes the mouse move all over the screen. I mostly control this laptop remotely so I am able to avoid it
The laptop hard drive write/read speeds are a little slow. So moving files or opening files felt a little sluggish for 2025.
Outside of the those 2 aspects, this laptop fulfills its purpose.

For simple pc use like browsing the web, or using for school this laptop is all you need.
Has a very fast 8 core CPU.
If you want this to be able to download games or apps then this is not for you.
The Cons of this laptop are there is very little storage for apps or games.
No ability to upgrade ram or storage either.
Only people that buy this should be elderly people that just need to get online or a student that is only using this for school purposes only.
