Editorial note

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 stands out with several notable advantages. With an impressive battery life of up to 14 hours, this laptop is ideal for travel and extended use without interruption. The 15.6-inch Full HD display, offering a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, ensures an immersive viewing quality, perfect for entertainment and work. Its sleek design in Business Black, combined with an ABS casing, ensures both durability and modern aesthetics.

The RAM limited to 4 GB can restrict multitasking capability, making the use of multiple applications simultaneously less smooth. Furthermore, the lack of a backlit keyboard can pose challenges in low-light environments. Finally, while the 256 GB SSD storage is adequate for basic use, it may quickly become insufficient for those who need to store numerous multimedia files or heavy applications. In summary, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is a solid choice for those looking for a reliable laptop for everyday tasks, but it may not be suitable for users with higher performance needs.
