2022 - IdeaPad 3 - Travel Laptop Computer - AMD Ryzen 5 - 17.3" FHD Display - 8GB Memory - 512GB Storage - Windows 11 Home

Fast processor (Ryzen 5) and SSD. Fast wifi. Would prefer one more USB and also an easy way to add a second SSD without taking the screws out (they could just put a cover on the bottom to access it). Large 17” screen- clear and bright but the description before I ordered was somewhat misleading on a few things.Depending on what exact model you get, you may not get a backlit keyboard which is one reason I got this thinking the model I got had a backlit keyboard which it did not.I also am not too crazy about all the Lenovo software they preloaded on here (most of it I removed) but then not even a year of anti virus? C’mon! I know the price is low for a reason but surely Lenovo can obtain some sort of deal on that.It’s a good laptop overall and will do well for most people in most tasks. I only wish I had gone up 8 more GB on the ram as I find I run more stuff on it at the same time than I initially thought I would. Good computer for under $500 especially for the screen size and speed.

I did not really like this laptop but I gave it five stars because for the price I paid of $380 it was beyond anything anyone could expect. The 17-in screen is large and perfectly fine. The laptop itself is thin and light for a 17-in laptop and looks really good. The memory is very easy to upgrade and you can get it to 40 GB if you pay $75 or so for a 32 GB dimm to put in there. But the idea that this is a six core chip is really deceptive. I mean I guess the technically has six scores but it behaves like an Intel four core laptop chip from 4 years ago. I think they don't give the chip enough power or something I don't know to save battery maybe? but don't think that you're going to get the same performance that you would get from a current desktop AMD ryzen 6 core chip. it's not going to be the same at all.
