Hi,

I am about to place an order for this laptop and I would like to hear from those of you more in touch with the laptop market if this looks like a good price for the configuration below:

Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 15AHP10

CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 8840HS

RAM: 16GB DDR5 5600MHz (dual channel)

Storage: 1TB SSD M.2

Display: 15.3" IPS, 1920x1200 (WUXGA)

Backlit keyboard

Battery: 60 Wh

Price in EUR: €600

I haven't bought a laptop in many years, as I mainly work and play on a desktop, but I wanted something relatively compact to take with me while traveling this summer, maybe even do some remote work away from the heat of the big city, play an occasional game, nothing too demanding (Skyrim-level games, so to speak)..., yet not too small (14") either, as I work with documents and text and I do need some decent display area.

Are there other good choices in this price range? I wouldn't spend more for a laptop that would only complement my main desktop system and would only be used while away from my home office.

Thanks!

UPDATED post to attach pictures of the one I got:

Hi! I'm planning to buy a laptop for university, I'm studying software engineering. I’ve looked into several options, and the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 seems like the best choice in that price range. I’m interested in hearing about other people’s experiences with this laptop: how is the battery life, is it fast enough? The screen has an IPS panel, so I don’t think it's too bad in that regard. I need the laptop mainly for studying and everyday tasks, and it's important to me that it lasts for 4–5 years. Do you think this laptop is good enough, or should I consider some slightly better and more expensive options? Thanks in advance!
