Lenovo IdeaPad 3, simple but excellent performance
Currently, most laptops on the market meet what we might say, minimum requirements. The minimum that we can ask from a laptop is 8 GB of RAM and a 512 GB storage unit. In addition, it must have good connectivity in terms of video and USB ports, and it is also important that it has WiFi connectivity.
Let’s start with the screen, which isn’t bad at all considering this is a fairly basic laptop. This laptop has a TN type panel with dimensions of 15.6 inches. At this screen 1080p resolution with a 300 night brightness and technology to avoid annoying reflections.
The power comes from the processor Intel Core i3-1115G4, which has 2 cores and 4 threads. This processor runs at a base frequency of 3.0 GHz and in Boost mode it reaches 4.1 GHz. This laptop does not have a dedicated graphics card, the video output depends on an Intel UHD graphics card running at 1 .25GHz.
This laptop comes with a M.2 SSD 2280 integrated with a capacity of 512 GB. We can expand the storage capacity in the future with a unit of up to 1TB.
Did this laptop come with 8GB DDR4 RAM. Here we must stop, because there is something we must take into account. One 4GB model is DDR4 @ 3200MHz SO-DIMM format and the others 4 GB @ 3200 MHz are soldered on the laptop motherboard itself. Lenovo says we can expand the laptop RAM up to 12GB, which is usually not indicated by manufacturers.
Simple, but with everything one would ask of a laptop
It must have a good laptop, the ability to adapt to all the needs that we may have at any time. In this case, it’s pretty good, since it has good connectivity. Above all, it stands out that this laptop has Wi-Fi 6 connectivity.
This laptop has a USB 2.0 port, a USB 3.2 Gen1 port and a USB-C 3.2 Gen1. In addition, this laptop has a port HDMI 1.4b, a headphone and microphone jack and an SD card reader. The biggest problem is that this laptop does not have an Ethernet port.
This laptop has dimensions of 359 x 19.9 x 236.5 mm and a weight of 1.65 kilos. Note that this laptop arrives without an operating system, but you can install Windows 10 or Windows 11 without major problems.
Working, studying or browsing on this laptop is not bad at all. Perhaps the biggest drawback is that part of the RAM memory is soldered. Although we can extend it, according to Lenovo, we may have problems finding compatible memories.
