  • Unbeatable performance at $649
Capacity: IdeaPad Gaming RTX 3050
I've had this Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 Ryzen 5 6600h rtx 3050 version with 8gb ddr5 ram & 256gb ssd for about a month now and so far the performance has been spectacular. There are a couple irritations rather then cons ill get into shortly. I was hesitant not knowing if this setup would run the games I play at the highest resolutions and frame rate this PC offers. This laptop has been flawless at running call of duty MW 2(2009), COD black Ops and GTA 5 on the highest settings with out any hiccups, choppy video, freezing etc. For me it has been lightning fast and silky smooth. Yes there are higher frame rates out there but the costs are astronomic for what little upgrades you get. I love the fact I haven't found any bloatware in this PC. Although not recommended by Lenovo it does allow overclocking. It stays cool even with heavy gameplay for hours on end. The fans work great at dispersing heat and are not so loud you get distracted while gaming. When just casually running browsers or streaming the fans never kick on it just stays cool enough to not need them. I've read users think its not sturdy enough? I think its very sturdy. The keyboard doesn't flex while pushing keys and its quite hefty. The screen doesn't feel wobbly or weak. Its not made of aluminum like an Asus tuf f15 but it does the job well. Other users say the brightness and colors are dim but that has not been the case for me. Its not 4k but I had to turn the brightness down. The colors are great for me. If you are a professional photo editor or video editor just get an external monitor. You shouldn't be editing professional work on a 15.6" screen anyway haha its a gaming laptop not a photo/video workstation. You'll need more power to render huge files. The only cons/ irritations- 256gb ssd is just an outdated size for storage. GTA 5 alone is 142gb. Yes it can be upgraded but at least a 512gb should be standard. Crucial says it will support 2tb but I have not personally added that size. I will definitely be upgrading to at least 1tb. 8gb ram has worked flawlessly with the aforementioned games I have installed. But it would have been nice to see a standard 16gb (2×8gb ddr5) cards installed. I will be upgrading to 32gb ddr5 2x16gb cards just because. The price jump for 16gb factory is crazy! Upgrading to 16gb costs like 40 bucks verses a $200 price jump for 16gb pre installed. So far I have not found any other cons to this system. I love it and am very happy with its performance and price. I don't think you'll find a better laptop at this price for gaming. Note I do have lightroom installed and it runs flawless. But its just for casual photo editing. I couldn't be happier. A+ purchase. ... show more

Capacity: IdeaPad Gaming RTX 3050
**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 ... show more

  • An overall decent laptop to play games on and general use.
Capacity: IdeaPad Gaming RTX 3050
The media could not be loaded. Upside: - Appearance is nice and simple with a bit of flair add-on with the back exhaust. - CPU is quite snappy and GPU is a treat to throw at some AAA games that is recent (2023) and almost run flawless in AAA games that is a few years old (COD: Cold War Zombies). - I/O Ports are just enough for the average person to use. - 120hz display is quick and responsive! - Upgrading the Laptop limited hardware is a bit tricky but with a bit of time it's really easy to do so. Neutral: - Screen brightness/Keyboard/Speakers are just "Meh." It will get you by just enough to be acceptable. Small adjustments is needed right out of the box. - 256GB SSD/8GB RAM isn't suitable for modern games at all but it come with the cost of the laptop. - 720p Camera is just there to be used for a quick call video. And the Mic too. Downsides: - Battery life isn't great. Expect to get about 3-4 hours of basic use in "Balanced" mode and 4-5 hours in "Quite" mode if the screen brightness is 75%/Bluetooth is off and speakers is at 50% (Or headphones plugged in to bypass it). Expect the battery drain faster if you're playing a somewhat demanding game. - The fans can get LOUD when playing a demanding game! Overall: For $650, you can't go wrong with that deal (At that time). I wanted a laptop to kind of replaced my 8 year old desktop and my hand-me-down laptop that was 12 years old before I gave it to a friend of mine that really needed a PC for basic tasks. I had around a grand from my check and I just was looking to see if any deals at the time. And then this laptop came up and I said "Why not? It looks decent enough to have and to upgrade." And here we are. I even added 32GB DDR5/2TB Storage upgrade ASAP that cost me nearly $300 alone, putting the cost close to the entire check I have, and do I regret it? Nah. It's exactly what I wanted. There are some flaws with this laptop but at the price that I paid for it's outweigh the cons, but I do recommend getting the ideapad series on a sale because it's a hell of a deal if you are planning to keep the laptop for years on end like me. It's been about 3 months and so far I am loving my new laptop! But sadly the model I have currently (3050, R5-6600H) is getting replace by the newer and more expensive model that have a 4050, R7-7735HS which IS a better laptop via hardware but it's going to be a while for a good sale to happen for the 4050 version. Again, if you're really looking to get a decent modern gaming laptop look at this laptop at least before it's truly gone. ... show more
