💻 Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14 Laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 5500U, 8GB DDR4 RAM, 256GB NVMe TLC SSD, 14.0" FHD Display, AMD Radeon 7 Graphics, Windows 10 Home, 82KT00AMUS, Abyss Blue Review

Gaming wise, this is a "fair" FPS test with Fraps playing FFXIV, 32 fps at best. The display brightness is terrible, you have to turn it up all the way to get a "decent" display. It needs serious improvement. The sound is low, I have to turn the volume up to 3-4 times the volume on my Asus laptop. On the other hand, it handles 3D gaming but not at the quality/level of a gaming laptop. Another plus is the backlit keyboard. I use mine to play FFXIV and it does the job pretty well. Plus other…

I replaced a 14 inch lenovo flex 5 for $700 so will compare to that. The body of the ideapad 3 14 is made of sleek, sleek plastic, but feels more solid. I really see an increase in performance. I never use a touchscreen, so I gladly didn't. I expect this laptop to hold up better with a standard hinge than the broken Flex 360 hinge. What's really nice: This new laptop is 0.8 pounds lighter, about a quarter of an inch less wide and an inch less deep for the same screen size , which is an…

Don't let the name put you off at first, that's a lot. The screen, unlike previous iterations, is great for the price - crisp and detailed. You can probably find specs complaining about SRGB coverage elsewhere, but for the average sub-$500 user, this is great. It seems to be approaching 300 nits, which is definitely bright enough indoors. The keyboard is very good, not a MacBook Air or similar, but very close - much better than Acer/Asus/Samsung. The trackpad is in the same vein, very good…

I wasn't sure what to expect from this laptop as I had never owned one of the cheaper Lenovo computers in the past. I was pleasantly surprised by this. It's compact and lightweight, making it great for carrying around in your bag without having to carry around a huge laptop. The screen is very good, although I would have liked a slightly higher resolution, but it is suitable for most productivity and streaming applications. The keyboard is also very responsive and fun to type on. The trackpad…

This test is for the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 (14ALC6) with an AMD Ryzen 5500U processor with integrated Radeon 7 graphics and a 14-inch display. I used it as a personal computer for about three years. weeks and I must say that I am deeply impressed by how powerful and versatile this computer is. This sub-$500 IdeaPad 3 is technically a budget laptop, but it's very well-equipped and offers incredible performance. After several benchmarks and real-world tests, I was shocked to find that the 15W Ryzen…
