Yes for the price. More on reddit.com

Gaming laptops (exc. some niche and expensive models like the g14 and the Legion Slim) are generally heavy and thick so I won't consider as much of a con as the following. The two biggest offenders are the battery and the screen. The battery is really bad, like really bad, I make some compromises and adjustments and still never surpass the 5 hour mark. I rate Lenovo high but still don't know what were they smoking when they decided to pack a 45Whr battery in a gaming laptop. Or actually I do... To save costs. You see Lenovo is a top global manufacturer. It floods the market with A LOT of laptops, with different brand names but if you look closely to the version number they are basically all the same with subtle differences. For example, 15ACH6 is the same version number of Legion 5 and IdeaPad Gaming 3. 14ACN6 is the same number as IdeaPad 5, IdeaPad 5 Pro, IdeaPad 5 Slim, IdeaPad 5 Flex... And yes they share almost all components, different branding, depending it it's EU, North America, Asia or Africa market. They do this to save up costs of R&D and recycle more the last generation parts like Apple does (but take in consideration Apple computers are even higher priced!). The other point is why put the same or better battery on the budget version rather than on the Pro? Think of this like Apple does with iPhones... If they spec up the base model no one is going to buy the Pro or Pro Max. The final point, they thought they can grab even more cash by selling a higher capacity battery in their website and the replacement service (yes because if you replace it yourself the warranty voids). Now, the screen is very dim, you'll have to ramp up the brightness to max but even you won't see shit in daylight (ha! are you thinking the same? the higher the brightness the more battery juice it sucks). Regarding colour accuracy it's very shitty (45% NTSC), again it's pronounced more with the dim screen. Especially nowadays that we have good quality smartphones, TVs and tablets. It's noticeable for content consumption, not a huge deal breaker (and you can make some adjustments) but absolutely NOT recommended for serious photo/video editing or any simulation that requires good colour and contrast. So the screen is terrible but you'll get the same in the same budget gaming laptops league. The battery is the worse thing if you like the portability side of things. Other users will say: jUsT plUg iT bcZ it'Z a GaMinG LapToP. Which is low-effort rationale, we bought a gaming laptop because it's portable, and we also use for other tasks. At that point we would rather buy a Steam Deck or console. Regarding performance performance this thing is a BEAST. It's my first gaming laptop and my model is the RTX 3050 and doesn't break a sweat. Being able to pull 100+ FPS on High settings without worrying too much is the close you can get to a console experience. TL;DR: If you're okay with the worst brand new battery and screen you've ever bought and it's all the money you have GO FOR IT. If you can throw more money buy the LEGION. More on reddit.com

Please for the love of god no. I am a lenovo fanboy to death, but the IdeaPad is so bad that I would only recommend it if you have a budget of 300 or less. It jas no expandable ram, storage and it can't charge with USB-C. If I were you I'd look for something else. Asus has some good gaming laptops I presume. More on reddit.com

Thanks I finally saw a review! So how is it now? Are there any issues? I’m planning to buy it tomorrow , it’ll be my first laptop. I’ll use it for my school, programming (lots of multitasking) and light gaming ( Roblox only) I honestly don’t know much about laptops, but the fan shouldn’t be too loud, right? I saw a comment saying the fan runs loud—do you think it’s really noisy, or only when gaming? The model btw is slim 3i 15irh8, tho there is another model which is slim 3 15irh8 with same specs but higher price, which idk what the difference is.. More on reddit.com
