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

Laptop is great, but the preinstalled Realtek 8822CE wifi card drops signal on occasion (See photo). This laptop (Lenovo Ideapad 3 14ALC6) does not have a whitelist, so I installed an Intel AX210NGW card and I no longer have any issues. Hopefully this helps someone with this model.

No backlit keyboard or doesnt work!

Loving this laptop so far. Ratings gave me an option for touch screen but this is not a touchscreen laptop. Everything runs fast and efficient. Screen quality is better than expected. I am running windows 11 though I believe that’s optional. Super easy to set up. Customizable. Back lit keyboard. Got this for a small e-commerce business but will be enjoying light gaming and streaming with it as well.

I had high hopes for this machine ordered on Prime Day. Delivered promptly buy it wasnt long before I had problems. The keyboard worked on boot up but once Windows loaded only the fn keys worked. I had two calls to tech support attempting to resolve the problem using the TouchPad keyboard for input. Finally was told to send in to Lenovo for service. I didnt want to return it to Amazon for credit because I would have lost out on the Prime Day discount.

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.

The screen is rigid and the hinge looks solid. This is my third Lenovo laptop that I bought for my family, and the other two have been working flawlessly for 3+ years. If you dont need touch screen or thin metal body, this is a good choice. I recommend upgrading memory to 12GB and replace 256 GB SSD with 1TB as soon as you get the computer. Most people upgrade to a new computer because the storage is full or it becomes slow. Just back up everything and reset the pc, which is very easy in windows 11.

This laptop is very durable, you can just do not need to worry about its warranty. The screen quality is high and good but I do not think I can compare the high-class laptop but in general, it can give you a good experience at work.

I purchased this laptop for my boyfriend on Christmas to lure him gaming with me on pc, and it worked! ❤ Its March now and I cant believe how much Ive enjoyed having this laptop. If you are looking for a budge laptop that can run Valorant, Dead by Daylight, CS-GO, Phasmophobia (just to name a few) on medium settings (the game runs smooth and looks great) well, buy this laptop! Get yourself a monitor, mouse and keyboard and youll get the feel of having a PC for only 500 dollars. It can keep with my pc and I am grateful to some of the other reviews that lead to me purchasing this laptop.

this is a killer little machine, but if your like me and dont know anything about gaming pcs, let me tell you a little bit about my experience, i saw people reviewing this saying I am playing fortnite on ultra settings and getting 120fps and I thought oh man what a killer deal. so what i learned is hitting this benchmarks does not mean squat, as fortnite is a very low demanding graphical game. this lappy has a powerful cpu, but does NOT have a dedicated gpu, so playing anything AAA (even if it came out years ago) will run horribly! i had to crank monster hunter world down to like 700 x 600p or something and was still getting like 30 - 40 fps! if you are an amatuer video editor and only plan on playing indie games on here at 60fps then this will be ok (high graphical indie games will still encounter horrible frame dips), i played salt and sacrafice at a steady 60 fps and any pixel art or low demanding graphical game will be ok, however even an indie game like roboquest i had to turn graphics down to medium and was getting about 40 fps

I bought this as a gift for my son at Christmas. He loves it, it’s fast especially for the money he likes to game so big thumbs up if you’re looking for a computer with guts that won’t break your bank. This is the computer for you
