A Detailed Review Of The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 (2021) Laptop
LENOVO IDEAPAD 3 15 2021 – Here is a thorough and detailed evaluation of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 (2021), highlighting its positive aspects as well as its drawbacks.
The IdeaPad 3 15 (2021) is a budget-friendly Windows portable laptop. It features AMD Ryzen 5000 U-series CPUs, integrated graphics, up to 16GB of RAM, and storage exceeding 1TB. The choice between a TN or IPS display is available, both delivering 1080p 60Hz panels without variable refresh rate support.
Additionally, it comes with a 720p webcam, Wi-Fi 5 wireless adapter, and a 48Wh battery. The port selection encompasses two USB-As, a USB-C, an HDMI 1.4, an SD card reader, and a 3.5mm headphone jack, with the USB-C port lacking video output or charging support.
In terms of school usage, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 is satisfactory. Its sturdy build makes it convenient to carry, and the battery effortlessly sustains a typical school day. The screen offers adequate space for multitasking and is sufficiently bright for most environments. However, the small touchpad and potentially tiring keyboard may pose challenges over extended periods. While its AMD Ryzen CPU and integrated graphics manage standard student tasks competently, they may not be optimal for demanding graphic tasks such as video editing.
