Review on Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3: 15.6 Inch AMD Ryzen Gaming Laptop with RTX 3060 6GB GDDR6 by Li Kai ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

I am satisfied with everything, both price and quality, I advise you to buy.

In general, I can recommend a laptop, especially if you take it up to 60k. Even with the above disadvantages, you end up with a balanced workhorse that satisfies the needs of an undemanding user and can replace a home PC. Its pros: I should start with the fact that the device was taken by me for 56k, and I doubt that anything better could be found on the market for this price at the time of March 2022. Specs: ryzen 5 4600h + 1650ti, 8gb ram, 512gb ssd, win 10. I'll start by listing what has sunk into my soul: - strict design and general pleasant colors; - smooth key travel, 3-level keyboard backlight; - the assembly is solid, although if you press harder you can get a little play, but it's not critical for such a plastic case; - surprisingly acceptable battery life (without fanaticism, of course, but when surfing I had enough for 5-6 hours, for a gaming device this is pretty good performance); - curtain on the camera (separate respect from the paranoid); - the insides are enough for comfortable work in most applications, games at high settings go without problems; - Touchpad, which is really nice to drive with your finger. The response when pressed is clear; - fast ssd; - a matrix, but this is a moot point, because the color gamut is so-so, the white color is generally a little yellow. And yet, there is nothing to particularly complain about here - it's just ips, which is moderate in its qualities, and if you switch from tn, then you will clearly appreciate the absence of glare; - the possibility of an upgrade, the included hdd cable. With its cons. I don’t know about others, but my Windows device was crooked, I had to reinstall it. And honestly, this is the same as buying a DOS and rolling the wasps yourself. A trifle, but unpleasant. And now in order: - easily soiled case; - connectors: only two pieces of usb 3.2, type c is only for data transfer (why is it even here then? .), thunderbolt was not delivered, the card reader was also decided to bypass, for someone it may turn out to be a minus; - no webcam: 0.9mp, color reproduction is poor, it is obvious that it was put here on the principle of "well, let it be"; - the speakers are mediocre and quiet, even worse than those of more budget models; - a strange ventilation system that can spontaneously start trying to cool something. As I understand it, these are the tricks of Windows, but I could not understand what exactly triggers this behavior; - the previous point slowly flows into, probably, the most sore point of this laptop - the advanced point locked into the BIOS. I don’t know what geniuses from Lenova thought this was a good idea, but now you can definitely forget about overclocking and fan control, because you can dig deeper into these settings only by changing the BIOS itself, and this is entirely at your own peril and risk.
