Self Love on Black Friday Gone Wrong

Terrible. Was my first purchase for myself in a long time and all I could afford. Seemed like a compromise with myself but didn’t know it would actually do its worst. Battery died within a month. Charger won’t charge it. And its brightness and contrast is off. If you’re not looking at it at the right angle, it’s completely shaded. I honestly loved ThinkPads but this IdeaPad or whatever it is, not even close. I’d rather a 2 in 1. No touchscreen and nothing extra. Just a basic laptop. At its worst. If it was a Chromebook? That’s the only thing that could make it worse unfortunately. Not good for TradingView or trading as contrast on screen throws your mental space off.

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.

Great Buy - Lenovo 15.6" Laptop

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!

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.

I have yet to have any problems with this purchase, those the material feels like plastic I almost certain of its durability and strength compared to previous laptops. It has paired with my phone easily and performs all necessary functions for a school laptop. The only thing I dislike is how the keys are spaced because I personally am used to a bigger range between keys. It easily pairs to Bluetooth devices and the charger works well alongside it, the battery last for quite some time, and it charges very quickly.

No ram or ssd expansion or upgrade

Nice laptop boots up very quickly runs well light The graphics are OK screens not the best. The only real downfall if you cannot add or upgrade ram or storage. The ram and SSD are well in the motherboard and do not have extra slots for expansion or changing. So you’re stuck with 128 GB of storage. Didn’t seem right their video book and regular slim had that ability not sure why beware when you buy
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We appreciate your comment regarding upgradability and expansion, as this is a point that we can focusing on with our IdeaPad and IdeaPad Slim products.

Perfect for my basic usage

This Lenovo laptop fits my basic requirements perfectly. I plan on continuing to use the Windows 11 Mode S for its security. My primary use is email and word processing (Google Docs), where a full sized keyboard is more convenient than a cell phone. The system was easy to set up. The Windows 11 boot up is very fast compared to my older magnetic hard drive. I was also very happy that the system was not loaded with bloat wear.i have also streamed music and watched YouTube videos with no issues. I’m sure this unit is more capable than what I use it for. I’m extremely pleased with this laptop computer.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i Review

This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.
I bought this as laptop good refurbished. I did have to reinstall Windows 11 when first booted and have had no issues after that. This laptop is good if you can pick this up on sale. Unfortunately it's not upgradeable, however if you're able to pick it up on sale its a good deal. Once after you remove all the bloatware and Mcafee. This i3-N305 is a very capable CPU it handles web browsing, Google Suite, and Microsoft 365. The intergraded graphics it can handle very light gaming. Keyboard feels great when typing, very pleasurable experience, Not backlit, but the screen is bright enough for low light settings. The battery life is Average it last up to 3hrs on a full charge web browsing, While working expect up to 1.5hrs of battery life so definitely keep it plugged in. The track pad is okay I'd recommend using a mice. Boots up quick very fast SSD, not upgradable like the ram, but perfect for a Google Suite User. Again this is a very capable laptop, pick it up on sale, and enjoy one of the best budget laptops on the market.
