    This is a great (non gaming) lap top. It does play game just not the big ones. The size of the monitor is great and the sound is wonderful. I watch you tube all the time and watch movies and tv. I use it for word files and power point. It has a good camera and i like the built in privacy cover. The keyboard feels great and the touch bad is very good. This thing does not run hot on your lap. It has a touch screen and that is a huge plus. The screen looks great. I use this everyday and take it to the coffee shop alot. I will have multiple programs and tabs open and it has never lagged at all. this lap top is not heavy. The battery will give you about 3-4 hours depending on how you use it, but i plug it in and dont have a problem. For the price you really get alot!! I am more than happy. (i did get it on Memorial Day so it was on sale)

    Lenovo - Ideapad 3i 15.6" FHD Touch Laptop - Core i5-1135G7 with 8GB Memory - 512GB SSD - Arctic Grey This is for us the ultimate smart learning notebook. This Lenovo IdeaPad 3i pairs 11th Generation Intel Core i5 processors is best for both work and school. We were able to take advantage of its Intel Turbo Boost Technology which delivers dynamic extra power whenever needed and increases energy efficiency when not. I am very particular with gadgets that is eye-friendly but you still get to maximize the best picture color and clarity of the gadget and this Lenovo Ideapad is a perfect fit! It has also an energy-efficient LED backlight that you will surely love. It goes with Windows 11 Home in S mode which is the most secure Windows ever built plus added protection against phishing and malware. This computer is beyond awesome for its responsiveness, fast boot times. It has a 15.6” screen that is perfect for presentations and movies. Very light gadget that weighs 3.74 lbs and super thin at 0.78’. With 8GB full-power multitasking in a 512GB storage is truly awesome. Camera and microphone may not be the best but it is at par with other competitive brands. 10/10 computer and a great deal to recommend because you get to take advantage of its competitive features in an affordable price!

    Powerful Multitasking Project Revitalizer

    This Lenovo ideapad 3 (15") Intel Core i5 has been an invaluable tool for college classes and projects. With its snappy response to most anything I have needed to run on it, its multi=tasking capability has come in handy with side-by-side web pages and word documents, allowing me to complete my assignments with fluidity and clarity. It is light weight, touch-screen, and quite sturdy. I also have used a previous version of this same laptop, which came with a very blocky adapter that often fell out of the socket and was as annoying as it was necessary to plug it in constantly; seeing as the battery life was awful. This model, however, has a much better charger that is sturdier and better designed to get the job of charging completed, hasse-free. IN addition, the battery itself outshines the previous Lenovo ideapad 3 by about 4-5 hours whilst accomplishing similar tasks and work-load. This laptop was an absolute bargain. I spent under $500 for a computer without lag or lack of anything (disk drive aside) [Which I have already] I'm not sure what else a good review would include, but overall, I have no complaints, only compliments.

    Great Laptop - Optimal Price to Performance Ratio

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This laptop computer is a good standard for comparison with others. It has the key desirable features that provide greatest capability to price ratio. The 15.6-inch display is large enough for easy viewing, but small enough to keep the laptop lighter and more portable than a 17-inch gaming system (for example). The Core i5 processor has plenty of power, but runs cooler than Core i7 or Core i9 processors. The 8GB RAM is adequate and works fine. The 512GB SSD is a lower capacity drive but adequate for most situations given the increased use of cloud apps and cloud storage. A computer with Core i7 CPU, 16GB RAM, 1TB SSD, and 17-inch display would typically be much more expensive, run hotter, and be big and heavy. So, unless a person needs those higher specs, a mid-range laptop like this Lenovo makes a good choice.

    Excellent laptop! I bought it for my daughter and used it a few times. The visual is beautiful and the speed is really really great! I was kind of shocked to be honest. 8gb ram and 512ssd is pretty decent for her school work and her gaming. The battery life is good, can’t complain. I guess it depends on what your activity is.

    I really like this computer. It has a big touch screen that is super responsive. I like having the 10-key number pad also. The computer is super light and fast. My only complaint is that the battery does not last long, so you do have to charge often. Also, with it being so light, it's hard to open with one hand, because the bottom is not heavy enough as you pull up the lid. Other than that, I am pleasantly pleased with Lenovo and this laptop.

    Lenovo did an excellent job with this IdeaPad 3. It comes equipped with an Intel i5 processor, 512GB SSD, 8GB RAM and a 15.6” touch screen display. Battery life is decent. And for $400, this laptop is a steal. I couldn’t be happier with my purchase.

    This laptop just works. Got for my wife when hers finally quit. She does budgeting, bill paying, searching, and light gaming. She loves the Lenovo.it’s fast, smooth, and has very long battery life. Very light and thin she uses it at her desk at home and also I front of the TV. She’s very happy with it.

    This laptop is AMAZING! I bought this as a start up business laptop and my business is THRIVING! The programs I needed to build my business were easily accessible, the graphics are 100/100, the touch screen capabilities make it easier to use with today’s technology (ie iPhones). You get the laptop and touchscreen tablet like experience all in one. 10/10 recommend to anyone wanting a new laptop!

    Bought it for my son. He hasn't experienced any issues with this device. He uses it to for his online schooling at home, listen to music, and play some games on it too. The IdeaPad 3i is fast and efficient. Battery last long. Price is over $650 but got it on a Memorial Day sale for less than $500. A Perfect laptop for my son.

    I used to have a different Ideapad model and I loved it, that's why I got a similar one this time. I like the touch screen and the color. It works great and I've discovered some new features that my last Idepad didn't have (which I really enjoy) but I miss some others that this new model doesn't include (nothing big tho, I mostly miss the refresh key). I'm happy with my purchase. Great for watching movies because of the wide matte screen. **Looks very bright in the photo but it's not that much.
