Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 16IRU9
Source: Laptop Media
If you don’t want to spend a whole fortune on a new device for general usage, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 16″ Gen 9 has enough horsepower for things like Web browsing or editing MS Office documents. If money isn’t a problem, you can avoid the Intel Core 3 100U because of the 6+2 E and P cores which could be too low in some scenarios. You can also try to dodge the 8GB configurations which work in single-channel mode. A laptop with 16GB DDR5 and an Intel Core 7 150U or Core 5 120U should be optimal for most users who want to get a notebook on a budget. Speaking of which, the 150U processor can maintain high clocks in short loads and acceptable frequencies in longer stress which leads to adequate performance.

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.
