Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IRH10, Core 5 210H

55% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 review: A rare miss from Lenovo
Source: PC World
When I review laptops, I like to ask “Who is this for?”. Even if a laptop doesn’t make sense for most people, there’s usually someone who will love it. But when I look at the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3, I really don’t get it. The design and build quality are nice, and it offers reasonable desktop performance and a better-than-average port selection, unless you scrutinize the specs too closely. But the price of $769 just feels too high for a machine where nothing really shines. If the display looked better or at least wasn’t so dull, I think I could see the argument for this machine. When I look at PCWorld’s list of the best laptops, I see both budget laptops that are much less expensive — and laptops in a similar price range that offer a better experience. On the other hand, if you don’t need all that much from your PC and you find this on sale for less, it’ll do okay. But I can’t recommend the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 at its retail price.

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.

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.

55%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
