IdeaPad Gaming 3 - Essential Gaming Laptop - 15.6" FHD - 120Hz - AMD Ryzen 5 6600H - NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 - 8GB DDR5 RAM - 256GB NVMe Storage - Windows 11 Home

**update: this laptop can at times, be powered on, but have a black screen. No matter how many times it's reset, it will not work. I had to take it apart and remove the ram and reinstall it then it would boot up. I believe I figured out the cause, using hibernation mode! So I changed hibernation mode to sleep mode and haven't had it happen again. That's the only problem I've had, it still works perfectly. **** This laptop came perfect, new and not damaged. On its own it was a nice laptop but I upgraded the laptop ram with teamelite group ddr5 4800 2x16gb = 32 gb Then I upgraded the ssd to crucial p5 plus 500gb, used the cloning software to clone existing ssd then switched boot order and formatted the old drive. Everything is super fast and works great. One thing about the backlit keyboard, it does have it but it needs to be turned on in the lenovo software that comes installed. Also great feature if the ethernet port which would be great for gaming I imagine, tho I don't game with this laptop

I just picked this laptop up on an awesome sale for $600. What an unbelievable deal. BUT there are a few catches. If you get this laptop on sale, you should consider it an ABSOLUTE necessity to pick yourself up an additional 8gb stick of ddr5 ram and at least a 500gb nvme ssd. Both are extremely easy to install, cost me about $80 total, and took this laptop to a level that is u fathomable for under $700. The screen brightness is probably the biggest let down but gaming in a darker room it is plenty bright. Probably couldn’t be using this thing right next to the window during peak sunlight though. Everything else is rock solid. It’s a simple design that doesn’t scream “I’m a gaming computer” which I like. Solid build, fans are reasonably quiet, temps stay below 70C even when pushing things to the limit, I mean it’s just awesome. Having a 3000 series gpu, even just a 3050, is such a massive upgrade from something like a 1660ti because DLSS is unbelievable. I’m running the newest call of duty (mw2) on basically ultra settings with DLSS set to quality mode and averaging 103fps in the benchmark. And that is making the game look way better than it needs to to be playable. Keep in mind, though, those numbers are only after the RAM upgrade. Before the upgrade I was average ~70fps under the same conditions, which is respectable, but for a cheap $30 ram stick it’s totally worth the 30+% boost to fps. For anyone wondering, yes you can just add a RAM stick and it works, you don’t need to replace the original ram that’s installed. I just got DDR5 4800mhz 1.1V CL40 ram and it worked just fine when I popped it into the system And the extra storage is a must-have as well. The 258gb drive it comes with only has like 160gb usable space after windows takes up all its space so if you want more than like 1 game on your laptop then get a 500gb or 1tb nvme drive. I went with 500gb for ~$50 With those upgrades, this thing is performing like a $1000+ laptop and I put it all together for under $700. If you’re on the fence, it’s time to jump off the fence and get this laptop. Last thing to note, this laptop isn’t on sale and it costs like $899 or whatever it usually costs, then it probably isn’t the best value. If you can get it for less than $700 I’d say it’s worth it, otherwise look for options that don’t require you to buy your own ram and storage.

I build pc's for gaming. I got this just to simply be lazy and play builder games like planet zoo while watching TV on the couch. I didnt wanna sink a bunch of money, and found this on sale for around 500 bucks. This laptop is ok. It gets super loud and hot, but I mean for around 5 hundred bucks you get what you pay for. It ain't nothing special just ok. It's great for browsing the web and doing school work and such. Its ok for basic games that don't require a whole lot, but for modern 2018 year and up games it will only run on minimum settings in the game. It barely handles planet zoo and that game ain't nothing fancy! The screen seems like it isn't bright enough. Just seems off. Then again I'm used to higher end gaming. Battery life...well...let's just say if you game keep it plugged in. Keeps me entertained while on the couch, but it ain't meant for the true hard core gamers. If you're gonna game build or buy a PC :) Great for a teenager wanting an all around laptop, but if you really wanna game with moderate to high end game settings this model ain't for you

I like this product. Pros 1. Great system components 2. Easy to use and upgrade Bios 3. Great controls of the laptop (ex: performance mode) 4. Super fast charging 5. Great build quality 6. Great cooling fans __________________________________________________________ Cons 1. A bit heavier than other laptops (shouldnt be an issue if u are a fan of heavy laptops) 2. Windows 11 ( a little bit of an issue for gaming) 3. Only 2 USB 3rd gen 4. Only 256gb m.2 ssd (won't be an issue if u are ready to upgrade it) __________________________________________________________ It is great for its win win price.

Despite all the negative things and problem i've read in reviews about this laptop it works as it should be. I hope to use it for a long term. Update: After a month of using it. I came to the same problem like the others, it turns on (keyboard light is on) but no screen. Luckily i have some troubleshooting knowledge on this kind of devices, i did fixed it by unplugging the battery, removing all the ram and ssds and then putting it back again. And it works again. Hope it fixes it.

So, I bught this in December of 2022 thinking it would last me 2-3 years until I would buy a decent gaming station. One day as I was using it, the screen suddenly went black and never turned back on again. Tried going through warranty repair but I was shocked to learn that the 1 year warranty it came with was no good in my country. I'm disappointed.

يفضل انك تشتري رامات + هارديسك عشان الالعاب الجهاز بالنسبة للسعر جميل ورائع

ركز على كلمة بالنسبة للسعر … لان رح تحتاج تجيب رام تاني و رح تحتاج تجيب m.2 عشان الألعاب … بس الاداء ممتاز بيصير بعدين
