Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15 Laptop, 15.6 FHD Display, AMD Ryzen 5 5600H, NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650, 8GB RAM, 256GB Storage, Windows 10H

I got this for my 12 year old. This is our first gaming laptop. From our experience, its a good beginners laptop for gaming. It is on the lower end price wise, for gaming laptops. I find its comparable to other brands with similar specs. If you are a hardcore gamer, I would say this might not be the one for you. This handles gaming and videos well, but I dont think itll be delivering the amount of content in high quality for more advanced games. My sons games that dont require large amounts of data or high resolution for playing. This provides the speed and graphics he needs, but also allows for quick access for homework and research. Keyboard lights up nicely, and makes it easy to identify keys in the dark, when he plays games. Key strokes are light and responsive. Its very user friendly and settings allow to customize parental controls. Battery life is decent. He keeps it on his desk most of the time, so hes always within reach of a power source, but Id imagine gaming drains the battery a little quicker than just browsing internet. He likes setting it up for watching movies and hasnt had any issues. This can more than handle what he needs it for and his gaming. More experienced and advanced gamers, might be wanting more. Storage might need to be expanded, depending on use, so whether you upgrade laptop or use external harddrive, might be something to consider when pricing and comparing.

It worked great the first few days but after a while, the screen would go black after long periods of inactivity and would require a restart. Figured I’d look into it over the weekend but then it started randomly powering off. After this started happening, it would start up to a black screen and it would take several restarts until I could get to the Windows login screen. Did some Googling and apparently this is a common issue with Lenovo devices in general. Would stay away.

It’s an amazing bang for the buck but spend 35 on another stick of Ram and this thing is pretty snappy. Handles my gaming needs!

I havent played a game that sucked me in for a long time. got Red Dead Online after buying this. Considering I bought to solely use as a TV, I love it for Gaming as well

I spent a LONG time considering different laptops, WEARY of the fact that most machines are built to fail, because premature failure drives the market due to endless greed. I decided on this one due to low rate of failure and no apparent major modes of failure. After a few months, so far no issues. Will update this review if that changes.

Follow the reviewers describing the ram & storage and you will have a great computer for the cost! I know nothing about computers. But through the magic of YouTube I learned how to very easily upgrade this laptop and now use it to play The Witcher 3 and eventually other games.

I mostly use the product for work with some minor gaming added in. The main issue with the laptop is that it comes with a Samsung SSD, which are notorious of stalling when it comes to RAM usage. The computer itself on the other hand, is well built and pretty light, for a gaming laptop at least. The storage is a little bleak, but easily rectifiable with an external hard drive or SSD. Overall, though really great laptop.

At the moment I have not had to use it very strongly. But for what Ive been using it for, its worked great.

Love this computer and its capability to do just about anything. I am currently writing this review on the laptop. I am sure the description can give more details on all the operating statistics of this computer, but I can attest to the things I like in comparison to the other systems I have used. I do a lot of photography and I have had no issues with the speed of uploading photos from my external drives. This is the one thing I do not like about the system is that there is no disc or memory card drive. I love that there is a keypad since this feature is not standard on all laptops. The amount of memory on the computer is capable of playing Diablo II and there is no delay or timing out. I would highly recommend this product!

Only complaint is the battery life is poor but I keep it plugged in so it matters not. Camera quality is sub par but I don’t use it. Other than that this laptop is a dream. Great purchase and I hope it lasts me a long time… I’ll post an update if I do happen to have problems.
