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

We bought 2 of these for kids for Christmas. One had an older Dell laptop that couldnt play many of the games she wanted, and had a failing fan. The other kid gamed on a desktop PC custom built a few years ago. This laptop doesnt have the best graphics card, but it still bench-marked 433% higher than the Nvidia card in the old desktop, so its been great for that kid! haha He was so happy to see how much faster Warframe loaded, but could really use a 1tb SSD. The 256gb just isnt enough. A few 30+gb Steam games and its time to cleanup old ones just so updates will install. It does have an option to install a 2.5 inch SSD for additional storage though.

one thing to keep in mind the laptop doesnt come with the standoff screw for the second nvme ssd you can install in this laptop

It was in Windows 11 despite it saying windows 10 on the market but overall the gaming experience of the laptop itself is amazing. Very silent, very affordable.

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.

Great laptop, can handle everything I throw at it without a cooler pad. Its a laptop, so obviously it isnt going to play new games on max.

Grandson wont put it down. He said its the best and the games played really good.

I loved the old thinkpad i had, so when the kids needed to go portable i thought lenovo might be a good choice. and the price was definitely good. middle of gaming half the screen goes full rainbow, with the other side black. power cycled and nothing, no beep no logo. i pulled the ram and still no beep. definitely dead, suppose the one good aspect is it has removable memory so at least my kid didnt loose all of their minecraft worlds. Im going to try contacting lenovo, and will update if they make it good.

supports all of my gaming needs and love taking it to work

Let me start off by saying Ive only owned this laptop for a few weeks so I cannot comment on its long term reliability but since Ive had it, I have thoroughly enjoyed it. Over the past few months, I have read through many reviews and watched dozens of YouTube videos of the Asus TUF A15, the Dell G5 15, this Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15, and the Acer Nitro. After watching for sales prices from trusted online sellers, I finally decided on this model.
