Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 | 14 inch Full HD Laptop | Intel Core i3-N305 | 8GB RAM | 512GB SSD | Windows 11 Home | Abyss Blue

I wasn't expecting much for the price but this is a super laptop. It boots up fast, was simple to set up and has MS office, its also slim and lightweight. The keyboard doesn't illuminate but neither did my previous one so I'm used to this. All in all im very impressed and a great laptop for use at home.

Grabbed the Prime day bargain that doubled in price after. Arrived quickly and set up in minutes. Great machine in blue. Esp like the physical on off switch for camera, sound quality and speed. Keyboard works well with sizes just right. Be aware this model has no instructions except plug in but pretty easy once windows update completed. Be also aware mains socket on left if it matters. Plenty of connections and like the full card available.

Ok laptop, what can we say it is win 11 after all, not going to win any rewords. Ok for light tasks and internet. Only 1 problem so far, that is the power button is useless. The pc terns on when you open lid, and there is no way of stopping this it is backed into the operating system, you shut down as normal, you can press the power button all day long dose nothing. Ps please set aside around 4+ for setting it up for first time.

It's a nice laptop I bought it for my wife's birthday it's a little smaller than standard 15" which makes it light and easy to transport. Sound is a little tinny and there's no fingerprint reader which is not surprising at this price . Has approximately 8 hours battery life

Really good as first laptop for kids

It is difficult to put into words just how disappointing this PC is, slow beyond a joke, constantly crashing and restarting, slow to launch applications. Bought this as a cheap replacement for a windows10 surface pro. Expected a new PC to be faster, for about ten minutes, then it went into 'I can't be bothered' mode and has been getting slower. I've heard of computer viruses but never computer dementia. I didn't expect much for the money, but this is still a waste of money. I'm writing this review on an 8 year old Samsung tablet, and it makes the PC look bad. It may just be this model, but as this is my first Lenovo PC, I can't say if this common across their range. My advice keep looking at other PCs, especially if this it is for student or small business use.

I got the slim 3, i3 14". Slim laptop. Personally I'd prefer something even smaller, I'm used to an 11" so 14" feels big. I got it during an Amazon day when it was £209. Fantastic for that price. I also installed Office Home 2024 (downloaded from MS) for one-off £120. I don't want subscriptions and MS365 can go swivel. I only use it for writing and browsing. For that it's smooth and fast. Nice keyboard and screen. Battery lasts a working day, good because I don't want to carry the chunky power pack around. Shame about Windows and Microsoft turning on AI, forced updates when I'm trying to write and turning off your your ability to have a local account. Still, OneDrive does work well for keeping my words safe. In a few years when Windows has updated itself so much that the Lenovo stalls I think I'll keep the laptop, scrap Windows and put Linux on it instead.

Ok for day to day basics, but not for work that requires switching between multiple tabs. I bought this for my kids for online homework and watching Netflix, and for those things, it’s fine. The sound quality is poor, but it can be easily connected to the Alexa via Bluetooth. I borrowed it for work when my laptop was broken and it was far too slow for multi-tasking on more than one tab. So, a good value device, but sluggish when pushed beyond simple browsing and streaming.
