In terms of the Price/Performance ratio, it is more than an entry-level gaming laptop. It is capable like 1k+ laptops are and has a nice design of a more expensive gaming laptop. Oh and that clean design, it will be your “discrete” gaming laptop. The day-job customers you are interacting with, won’t need to know that you have the power to game. With today’s condition and the apparent possibility of computer chips shortages, a competitive gaming laptop like this unit will usually be sold out. The new AMD’s Ryzen 5000 series CPU inside at its price is no contest, this Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 82K20015US really can deliver. Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 82K20015US is not the greatest gaming laptop, but it delivers a decent gaming experience. The backlit keyboard, full-size HDMI, and USB Type-C ports are respectable additional features.

The IdeaPad Gaming 3 starts strong with a sturdy and minimalist physical build, and it goes ahead to hold up as the best value on the graphics-performance basis. It’s not a bad laptop in any view, and is one that’s easy to recommend for budding gamers in a competitive field. That said, at this price, the Asus TUF Dash 15 (2021) is our Editors’ Choice for a superior value, while the new Acer Predator Helios 300 PH315-54-760S and the Lenovo Legion 5 15 are our top picks at the higher and lower ends of entry-level pricing, respectively.

Okay, here’s one for you. How can a 135W charger supply power to a 90W GPU, 35W CPU and still have enough juice for the rest of the components? Well, it doesn’t. In order to keep up with the power demand, it drains the battery, which may be the reason for the weird hotspot (it is right over the battery connector). This raises two questions – first, is this going to harm your device in the long run? And if it will, should you use the Performance mode and its OC function… and if you shouldn’t, why does this laptop even come with such an underpowered power adapter (or offer OC with it). Nevertheless, we don’t think it’s such a drama – it is just a bit weird, that’s all. On the other hand, the cooling solution also struggles a bit with the 90W TGP of the graphics card. We saw the RTX 3050 run at about 85°C, which is definitely too much for an entry-level RTX GPU. Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (15″, 2021)’s IPS panel (LEN156FHD (LEN9052)) has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, a good contrast ratio, and a non-flickering backlight.

The new Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (82K200UTUS) is yet another great option in this increasingly contested section of the laptop market. It’s capable of better gaming performance than both the Acer Nitro 5 and Asus TUF Dash F15, and it also comes within striking distance of the far pricier Asus ROG Zephyrus G14, as well. Well, it’s not just about gaming, though; the IdeaPad Gaming 3 both looks and feels like a more upmarket device than both the Acer Nitro and the Asus Dash, although granted the former is slightly cheaper, and the Asus has superior sound and longer-lasting battery life. However, if it were my money, I’d say the Lenovo just about edges both competitors. I mostly use headphones while gaming anyway and usually have my laptop plugged into the wall no matter what I’m doing. And besides, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3’s excellent gaming credentials massively outweigh any of its minor drawbacks. That said, if peak performance in the sub-$1000 gaming category is your calling card, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 stands as one of the fastest rides you can buy.

The Lenovo gaming laptop costs only $800 USD and it comes with AMD's latest generation Zen3+ H-series processor. Based on what we've seen so far, however, you may be better off finding a laptop with the older Ryzen 7 5800H instead if CPU performance is priority.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is a prime example of what you can expect from an entry-level gaming laptop under $700. It's just enough to get you going with its midrange AMD processor and a slightly better-than-basic Nvidia graphics chip. It also has a fair amount of ports so you can easily connect to an external display and a keyboard and mouse for desktop gaming. The IdeaPad Gaming 3 is a fine choice for the money, whether this is your first gaming laptop or you're a casual gamer looking to play undemanding games in between doing office or school work. As with all laptops, however, the more you can invest in components up front, the better off you'll be in the long run. Increasing your budget to $1,000 can get you a lot more gaming performance for your dollar, especially if you can hit the right deal. But not everyone has the extra money, in which case the IdeaPad Gaming 3 at least gives you a solid starting point with room for more storage and memory.

We were universally unimpressed with Lenovo's gaming laptop across most of the tests and benchmarks we put it through. A Ryzen 5 6600H processor paired with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 means you'll have to make sacrifices in image quality in many games to achieve strong performance. Competing budget gaming laptops that cost $100-200 more can give you the best of both worlds: a stronger processor and graphics setup (with at least a GeForce RTX 3060) that deliver solid frame rates at top-quality settings. If price is your primary concern, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 only makes sense if you can find it on sale for half to two-thirds of its regular $900 price, and you'll still likely have to do some annoying jostling in your favorite games settings' to achieve good frame rates. But even if you're fine with that trade-off, the rest of the IdeaPad Gaming 3's setup is just uninspiring.

The IdeaPad Gaming 3 is a decent gaming laptop if you’re on a tight budget, but you need to be aware of what you’re paying for. This can run most AAA games at low to medium graphics settings with decent performance, but the display is lacking in both color depth and brightness. If that’s something you care about, you’ll have to spend some extra cash to be satisfied. Otherwise, this laptop features above-average performance for its price category and benefits greatly from that low cost of entry. You’re also in for a solid speaker system and long-lasting battery life, but don’t expect a miracle. We recommend the Acer Nitro 5 if you’re willing to spend a little more for extra power. If not, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 is a decent choice for those on the lookout for something inexpensive that can play modern games.

You're not going to get a spectacular screen and a speedy GeForce RTX 3070 or 3080 GPU in an under-$1,000 gaming laptop. However, you can reasonably hope for a decent display and an RTX 3050 Ti, if not an RTX 3060. Even without those things, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 might fill a niche for bargain hunters if it had a 512GB SSD instead of just 256GB, but, as is, there's just not much to recommend it. Unless it gets an upgrade or a price cut, we'll pass.

As we saw in this review, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15″, 2022) is a well-engineered laptop. To be honest, Lenovo hasn’t done anything revolutionary. It just got everything learned from the Legion series, plus some proven technologies seen elsewhere, and combined it inside an inexpensive offering for the low-to-medium-budget gamer. All in all, the laptop doesn’t disappoint. Its build quality is not the best, but it is better than what we expected. Yes, the lid is bouncy, but the rest of the device is so good, that we can let that one slide.

The Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3i is hands down one of the best entry-level gaming laptops out there that easily outperforms the rest in its class, and its reasonable price makes it hard to find better value.

Lenovo has certainly taken a step up with the new IdeaPad Gaming 3i. As far as value for money is concerned, you're definitely getting bang for your buck here. Despite the flimsy hinge, we think the new design is an overall improvement, and makes more room for the fans and allows for two more vents at the back. The keyboard is one of the better ones you can find on a gaming laptop, and there's room for expansion when it comes to memory and storage. This is a solid pick if you're in the market for an entry level gaming laptop that can handle most modern AAA games.

A fine mid-range gaming machine, the IdeaPad Gaming 3i should live up to your expectations. It has a good CPU and GPU combo and the screen looks sharp and responsive for all sorts of games. The laptop is also quite excellent for everyday usage and should serve well to students as well as for your office needs. My only concern is that the top-tier variant of the IdeaPad Gaming 3i, which is the one that I have reviewed here, is priced awfully close to the base model of the Legion 5i Pro. Not only do you get a more premium chassis if you opt for the Legion, you also get faster DDR5 memory, a slightly larger battery and more configuration options. Essentially, this particular configuration seems a bit expensive for a mid-range gaming notebook, and I would suggest checking out the lower-spec models of the IdeaPad Gaming, if you don’t require so much power. On the other hand, if you do have a budget of Rs 1,50,000 it is better to add some more and go for either of the Legion-branded gaming notebooks.

Yes, there are a few omissions. We would have loved to see an HDR option for the screen, and perhaps a better-tuned set of speakers. And seriously, an SD card slot is a must on all laptops, especially if you’re paying over Rs 50,000. A machine that retails for over triple that amount without an SD card slot, is just puzzling. The performance, however, is more than adequate to make one overlook these shortcomings. If you’re an enthusiast gamer, who doesn’t stream but wants to enjoy the latest games at more than decent frame rates without breaking the bank, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i, in the configuration that we tested, is more than enough. Not once during our gaming sessions or testing sessions did we wonder, if only this machine had more to offer in terms of performance, which, realistically, is all one needs.

All things considered, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 is a solid budget laptop offering from Lenovo. The processor and GPU combo are able to maximise the performance from this budget laptop, making for a great starter gaming laptop. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IAH7 was also our Zero1 Award Winner 2022 for the best performing gaming laptop under 80K. If you consider the price of both of these variants currently, it's a no-brainer which one to go for. Here's hoping the new Ryzen 7000 series laptops kick up a storm!

This is hands down the best IdeaPad Gaming notebook Lenovo has ever produced. Will it be because of its fantastic display, great performance, or adequate cooling? Well, the right answer lies in all of the aforementioned, plus the price. Last year, it was unthinkable to have a good-enough notebook that sports an RTX 3060 GPU and still be at this price. Yes, compromises are all around the table, but this might just be the most non-compromise solution out there. Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (16″, 2022)’s IPS panel has a WUXGA resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. It covers 96% of the sRGB color gamut and provides a pretty accurate color representation with our Gaming and Web design profile. Thankfully, it doesn’t use PWM for brightness adjustment. This makes it comfortable for long periods of use. Moreover, the 165Hz refresh rate is paired with quick pixel response times. As a result, the affordable IdeaPad Gaming 3i becomes a very appealing product. It has a very good keyboard and touchpad, and the port selection is also fine. Yes, it lacks an SD card reader, and the Thunderbolt 4 port is swapped for an inferior USB Type-C 3.2 (Gen. 2) unit on the RTX 3060 model. However, two DDR4 SODIMM slots for memory, and two M.2 PCIe x4 slots for Gen 4 SSDs on the inside really make up for the shortcomings. Interestingly, the battery life is not great, but 6 hours and a half can make it through almost an entire workday. But let’s be honest, you won’t be buying this laptop for work, right? Why not actually? It can do all. The keyboard is good for both gaming and typing and guess what – if you settle for the White backlight, rather than the 4-zone RGB one, you will definitely fly under the radar.

Comment
Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.
In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.
In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.
With these GPUs you are able to play modern and demanding games fluently at medium detail settings and HD resolution.
