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. Love. This. Thing.

I love this laptop. Great for gaming and whatever else you want to do. Good cooling system as well. Just upgrade the ram with another 8gb stick and youll be good to go.

Esta computadora es increíble, muy facil de cambiar e instalar la memoria ram y un HDD.

i got this for work and travel, with a bit of gaming to relax. I cant say Im a satisfied customer, but it does work pretty good aside from that. I ended up putting linux on it to get some more performance out of it and open my options up more[running a lightweight distro and DE helps a lot for gaming here]

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

For the amount of money I spent on this computer the battery life is horrible. The battery only lasts 30 minutes without the charger. And I was supposed to have 1TB of memory but it literally rand out of memory as soon as I added my content. I am not satisfied!

For its price point, I am impressed with this laptop. I really like the GTX 1650 GPU which allowed me to run Second Life at 50 fps which is good and comparable to what I get on more powerful desktop computers. Realize that display is only 1080 HD, the SSD is only 256 GB and RAM is 8 GB shared with the graphics. There is no touch screen. Given those limitations, this is still a very powerful gaming machine. The laptop came with a bag of misc parts and no reference in the manual on how to use them. They appear to be parts needed to install a 2.5” hard disk or SSD which considering the small size of the SSD in this model, I found very interesting. I did find a maintenance manual online that looks like it might be useful in taking advantage of these parts. It would be nice if the unit had come with instructions because I would definitely be interested in upgrading the storage on this laptop. The small SSD that came with this laptop is very fast. Things that I didn’t like about this laptop was that although it has a camera on it, it does not support the face recognition for Windows Hello, nor does it have finger print recognition. The other thing I didn’t like was that after spending a day running Windows 10 updates, it still wasn’t at 21H1 when it done updating. Hopefully it will catch up soon. It may sound like I am not happy with this laptop, but that isn’t true. I really like it. The wifi was very fast reaching speeds close to what my ISP service provides.

With a full charge and just casually browsing the battery can last at most 2hr30mins, in the task manager the ram caps at 5.9Gb of ram and the laptop idles at around 80% utilization of ram which is 4.7/5.9Gb while just browsing, the laptop comes with a 2.5 ssd drive tray so I guess you can install more storage if you want? Personally I plan on opening it up and seeing if can install more ram cause the 5.9gb of ram is really toeing the line and feels intentional by Lenovo to fleece just a little from consumers. I noticed the lower than advertised ram because a YT vid was taking forever to load even though I have good internet and noticed the laptops ram utilization was capping at 87% likely due to some bloatware and how low the ram was. This laptop needs at least the 8Gb of ram that was advertised in order to run comfortably for me otherwise youre pretty much going to have to close out of everything but the launcher and a game in order for it not to get strangled for ram. And if I can fit 16gb of ram Im going to do it 100%.

I bought the 32GB RAM version of this Lenovo. The RAM failed about 2 months into use. The Lenovo repair guy said aftermarket RAM had been installed by a party outside of Lenovo. Hence it was not covered by Lenovos warranty.

After reading plenty of reviews and comparing this with other similar systems, I took the leap and purchased it. Ive been playing games on Xbox Game pass with my Xbox Controller and so far they all run great. I do recommend upgrading the RAM to 16GB (comes with 8GB). Its a simple process (check YouTube). Ill also probably upgrade the SSD, as it only has 256GB available. Not horrible, but games can be very large. Cloud gaming is a good option too which runs smooth on this system. Im happy with it so far, definitely recommend!
