Lenovo - 2021 - IdeaPad Gaming 3 - Laptop Computer - 15.6 FHD Display -120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 5600H - 8GB RAM - 256GB Storage - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - Windows 11 Home

Not much confidence at this point, as I had to factory reset on day 1!!!!

It does have a small dent on a corner

Great price on Black Friday. 12th gen i5 is lightning fast. Comes only with 8GB of ram and 500GB ssd but it is easy to upgrade not the memory (extra slot) and storage (extra m2 slot). The NVIDIA does the job and the laptop does not get warm when running WOW on max settings. The battery last about 4-5 hours with light use ( MS office and web browsing). I have not tried it for games but my guess it will drain the battery very quickly. On amazon the reviews noted that this laptop comes with 135W power supply (I was a little worried that it may not provide enough juice) but in the box I got a 170W power which works great. Either Lenovo has started shipping with the appropriate power supply or the intel powered version ships with a better power supply. Anyways, very happy with the purchase.

I wouldnt recommend the battery life for gaming the battery reduces quickly less than 30 mins of gaming I could see n tell by the time the screen brightness gets low but overall I would recommend spending time heavy gaming for only 2 30 mins hours I noticed that the fans start getting loud and heats up if it surpasses that so I got fretty scared and bought a secondary fan just to help cooling it down. On the contrary I still like the laptop its supper budget friendly for a student like me I bought it with no help from my family and Im super proud of it.

The performance for this laptop is top notch but the battery life is ATROCIOUS!!! The only consolation is that its cheap and runs steam and PCVR on the oculus (although its laggy and may crash from time to time. If you have the money then pay the money for a better pc but if you dont have more than $1000 for a pc then this may work for you as it does for me.

It’s a decent laptop but it has its flaws. Tends to randomly freeze while playing. Most of the time my game would freeze and I can’t even minimize the game so the only way to get out is to restart the laptop. I mainly play warzone on modern warfare and I get avg 76fps on med settings. I also play gta v on max settings with an avg of 85fps. Other than that I would recommend building your own pc. You can build a stronger pc for the price of this laptop.

For what need it for, Its worth the pricetag, granted the battery life could be improved on, I needed it for the extra power for my games.

I got this for myself, but ended up giving it to my son. He plays the standard 14 year old kid type games. It has held up very well. It gets a little loud when playing more graphic intensive games, but thats what happens with any laptop. Look at the professional reviews yourself, for the money, it does very well. It isnt going to play the AAA games at top resolutions and FPS, but then youll be paying at least 3-4 times the cost this one is. If you want a decent laptop for starter gaming, this one does quite well. Nice design, good keyboard, Im not always a fan of this brand, but they pulled this one off quite well.

Installed extra RAM, as needed with Win11

Problems from the start:
