Lenovo Ideapad 3 (15) review – AMD or Intel, the choice is yours
Source: Laptop Media Archive.org version
So if performance is your mojo, and you need a low-budget allrounder, probably this laptop will do the job for you. However, we were frustrated by some things. First, and foremost, the quality of the build. Given the fact, that Acer produced a great budget machine in the face of the Acer Swift 1 (SF114-32), we just can’t look at low-price laptops the same way. The Ideapad 3 (15) is all-plastic, poorly built, and in less than an hour, you will find more fingerprints on its surface than the total of “Wow” scenes in the entire filmography of Owen Wilson.

15.60":

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.

The reason for the popularity of mid-sized displays is that this size is reasonably easy on the eyes, often allows high resolutions and thus offers rich details on the screen, yet does not consume too much power and the devices can still be reasonably compact - simply the standard compromise.
