About this deal

The AMD and Intel processors have similar single-thread performance for the most part; however, the AMD Ryzen CPUs perform better in multi-threaded workloads due to their higher core count, especially the Ryzen 5 5500U and Ryzen 7 5700U processors.

A narrow bezel on 2 sides makes for a clean design, and larger display giving you more viewing area and less clutter. There aren't any obvious gaps in the construction, and it feels fairly solid overall, although the display flexes a lot.Whether you're browsing the web, writing up an essay, or sitting back and watching some movies from your favourite video streaming platform, the display of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 holds up. An uninterrupted 2 hours of video streaming – again with the screen on maximum brightness – knocked down the battery from 100 percent to 75 percent in our test, suggesting around 8 hours of video playback in total if you're not doing anything else with the laptop in the meantime. Every laptop in this comparison makes use of integrated graphics—either Intel's newer Iris Xe silicon, the standard Intel UHD Graphics found in many budget laptops, or in the IdeaPad 3 14's case, AMD's Radeon integrated GPU.

The CPU takes a long time to render the simple bmw27 scene, and it takes even longer with the integrated GPU.AMD, the AMD Arrow logo, Athlon, EPYC, FreeSync, Ryzen, Radeon, Threadripper and combinations thereof are trademarks of Advanced Micro Devices, Inc. However, the keyboard can be tiring to type on for an extended period, and the touchpad is small, making it hard to use. Most colors look inaccurate due to the panel's narrow color gamut; however, the white balance is outstanding, and the color temperature is very close to the standard 6500K target.

It captures some fine details like the writing on the bottle or the cards, but the whole image is overexposed, making colors appear washed out. It's portable due to its thin and light design, and it has good battery life, lasting over 9 hours of light productivity.The usual offenders are here: Spotify, Disney Plus, McAfee Antivirus, and Alexa are just some of the apps taking up your precious storage space, but you can simply uninstall them if you don't need them. You can also configure it with only a 5400 RPM 1TB hard drive or in combination with an SSD; however, it's best to avoid these models as the physical drive is significantly slower, and to make space for the drive, these models have a smaller 38Wh battery. The AMD Ryzen 5 5500U and the AMD Ryzen 7 5700U models will only perform slightly better, not enough to make the game playable. The model with 8GB of memory has 4GB soldered onto the motherboard and the other 4GB in the form of a user-replaceable SO-DIMM module.
