Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Laptop, 14.0 FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage, AMD Radeon 7 Graphics, Windows 11 Home, Abyss Blue

It has a comfortable keyboard, respectable I/O (USB 2 on the right side is questionable but I just use it for a mouse anyways), fantastic chipset, and is pretty easy to DIY upgrade, I upgraded mine from 8 to 20gb of RAM. Runs Linux Mint like a charm although the fingerprint reader doesn’t work with either Mint or Fedora out of the box. It’s great for the price and an excellent choice for a back to school laptop for college, especially if you get it on sale, the AMD APU is a total workhorse for most office tasks and light gaming/media editing.

Buena compra

This review is written having owned and used this laptop a month-and-a-half. Full Disclosure: I didnt even boot Windows 11, I wiped it immediately and installed Ubuntu (22.04), my OS of choice for a decade

First of all, awesome laptop if you can get it at $450

Excellent laptop

Not yet used extensively but like item

Bought for web browsing and basic Word processing. I was amazed at the AMD processor speed. This replaced a Dell laptop with a seventh generation i7 processor- this thing is zippy! Ran it without the wall charger and it looked like 5 to 6 hours of battery life. I could have dimmed the display and maybe eked out more time. Overall, a great mobile laptop for the price.

Me encanta... Muy buena y lo mejor de todo a un precio razonable.

If you’re wondering if this laptop will run your favorite games at least at medium or low settings, YES. Don’t let the low price fool you, AMD has upped the laptop game with this processor. I’m running Fortnite with a steady 120fps on 1080p High settings. And this is only with the one 8gb stick of ram. If you add one more 8gb stick, which costs like $50 or so, you will increase the performance a LOT because this AMD processor relies on having both RAM slots occupied to run best. I’m only using the one 8gb stick and it’s running this well, so if you spend the extra $50 you’ll have a really good laptop for casual gaming at the same price as a PS4 right now. We’ve come a long way from before when all computers that you could even think about running any sort of game on costed atleast $700, and that’s for a desktop. I love it.

Handles Minecraft Windows, Minecraft Java, and Roblox very well, daughter is happy.
