Lenovo IdeaPad 3, simple, but excellent performance
Currently, most laptops on the market meet what we could say, minimum requirements. The minimum we can ask of 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 is not bad at all considering that it is a fairly simple laptop. This laptop has a TN-type panel with dimensions of 15.6 inches. Has this screen 1080p resolution with a 300nit 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 works at a base frequency of 3.0 GHz and in Boost mode it reaches 4.1 GHz. This laptop does not have dedicated graphics, the video output depends on an Intel UHD Graphics working at 1.25 GHz.
This laptop arrives with a M.2 SSD 2280 integrated with a capacity of 512GB. We can in the future expand the storage capacity with a unit of up to 1 TB.
Has this laptop arrive with 8GB of DDR4 RAM. Here we have to stop, since there is something that we must take into account. A 4 GB model is SO-DIMM DDR4 @ 3200 MHz format and the others 4 GB @ 3200 MHz are soldered on the laptop motherboard itself. Lenovo indicates that we can expand the RAM of the laptop up to 12 GB, something that is not usually indicated by manufacturers.
Simple, but with everything we would ask of a laptop
It must have a good laptop, the ability to adapt to all the needs we may have at any time. In this case it is quite 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. Additionally, this notebook has a port HDMI 1.4b, a headphone and microphone jack, and an SD card reader. The biggest problem is that this laptop lacks 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 we can install Windows 10 or Windows 11 without major problems.
To work, study or navigate this laptop is not bad at all. Perhaps the biggest downside is that it has a part of the RAM memory soldered. Although we can expand it, according to Lenovo, we could have some problems finding compatible memories.
