About this deal

The IdeaPad Gaming 3 is the AMD-powered sibling of the Intel-based IdeaPad Gaming 3i, which we reviewed here in July 2020. Both are 15.6-inch systems with Full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) screens with a 120Hz refresh rate. R7 5800H: A high-performance, laptop-grade, octa-core APU. The Ryzen features eight SMT-enabled Zen 3 cores running at 3.2 GHz to 4.4 GHz along with the Vega 8 graphics adapter that runs at up to 2,000 MHz. Three benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better).

The Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3 has a 45Wh integrated battery, which is small but usual in an inexpensive gaming laptop, with the full battery you can last up to 6 hours on normal workload while web browsing, and up to an hour on maximum workload like gaming, The battery takes around 2 hours to get fully charged. Design and Build Quality The Ultimate Play GeForce RTX 30 Series GPUs deliver the ultimate performance for gamers and creators. They're powered by Ampere-NVIDIA's 2nd Gen RTX architecture-with new RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors for the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features. NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 Laptop GPU: High-End laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA106 chip with 3072 cores. Available in different versions with a TDP from 60 to 115 Watt. Our test unit, formally known as IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH7 (model 82SB0001US), combines a six-core, 3.3GHz (4.5GHz boosted) Ryzen 5 6600H processor with a skimpy 8GB of memory, a skimpier 256GB NVMe solid-state drive (SSD), and an entry-level GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, putting it at a disadvantage to RTX 3050 Ti and RTX 3060 machines.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti Laptop GPU: Mid-range gaming laptop graphics card based on the Ampere GA107 chip. Product images are for illustrative purposes only therefore the delivered product may vary from the one shown above. The HP's three-and-a-half-year-old GeForce GTX 1650 GPU can't keep up with the RTX 3000 series, so the Lenovo was only second slowest in most of our graphics benchmarks. It's not likely to make the most of its 120Hz screen refresh rate or even hit the 60fps mark that gamers expect nowadays. Most PC games are playable on the IdeaPad, though it's far from claiming any bragging rights. Battery and Display Tests b) Licensee is prohibited to the fullest extent permitted by applicable law from doing any of the following: All five laptops soared past the 4,000 points in PCMark 10, which means ample productivity for the likes of Word, Excel, and PowerPoint. The Lenovo didn't shine but held its own in the CPU tests, though it was at the rear of the field in Photoshop—its subpar screen and missing flash-card slot make it an even poorer choice for image editing.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad. Now although our guy here doesn’t have the Thunderbolt-compatible port, it comes with a USB 3.2 Type-C Gen 2 that supports DisplayPort 1.4, fast data transfer, and Power Delivery 3.0 which also means, you can recharge your laptop with most USB Type-C chargers.

It is larger than the general standard of 15 inches, but not yet in the range of large workstations. One usually has higher screen resolutions available, but portability suffers from that.
