Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Inch FHD Laptop - (AMD Athlon Gold, 4 GB RAM, 128 GB SSD, Windows 10 S Mode) - Abyss Blue

Product Information

Its AMD Ryzen™ 5000 H-Series processors and workflow-improving smart features make it a perfect study buddy for remote learners. Lenovo's specifications indicate that you can upgrade the SO-DIMM module up to 8GB for a maximum of 12GB.

The image looks noticeably darker from the sides, so you have to be close or directly in front of the screen to get the best accuracy.All our products are covered by a manufacturer's warranty unless stated otherwise on the listing (usually under the conditions tab). Budget laptops can often feel and look cheap, with flimsy, plastic parts that make the devices feel more akin to Leapfrogs than a sophisticated laptop. Enjoy the streamlined interface of Chrome OS—with access to a rich library of apps on Google Play, plus custom Google Maps, wallpapers, and images, and more. The review unit we had was fitted with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of SSD internal storage – you wouldn't really want to try and run Windows 10 on anything less, but again you can get by with this sort of spec.

The keyboard surround will flex a little under the pressure of hard typing, if not enough to ruin the experience, and the inside of the IdeaPad 3 looks a little too much of a mish-mash.

While the 16:9 aspect ratio isn't as good as 16:10 for documents and webpages, it does work very well for video content, as we found from a quick YouTube binge. If you perform heavy multitasking, you can upgrade to the Ryzen 5 5500U or the Ryzen 7 5700U for better multi-thread performance. AMD’s Ryzen mobile CPUs have become formidable chips in recent years, and despite the 5500U being built on the older AMD Zen 2 architecture, the silicon still performs well and is a commanding starting point in the budget-laptop market. Using the Lenovo Vantage app, you can choose among three fan speeds that suit your performance needs.
