80% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x review: Incredible battery life has never been so affordable
Source: Tom's Guide
While it isn't a perfect laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x offers fantastic battery life and solid performance at a price that's tough to beat. If you can find it on sale, it's a serious bargain. This laptop would be an especially good pick for students and casual users, but probably isn't the right choice for power users and gamers. If you're looking for a sub-$1,000 laptop that will easily last all day on a single charge, the IdeaPad Slim 3x could be perfect for you. Its battery life is impressive enough that it outweighs less significant drawbacks like a lackluster display and quiet speakers. It's hard to find battery life this long at such a low price, so that alone makes the IdeaPad Slim 3x stand out.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x is a well-rounded budget laptop that punches above its weight, particularly with its robust design and rapid on-device AI processing. While it's not built for gaming or heavy content creation, and it's unusual keyboard layout will take a bit of time to get use to, the IdeaPad Slim 3x handles everyday productivity, streaming, and AI-assisted tasks with ease – the latter of which is particularly impressive for a laptop at this price point.

78% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x review: Snapdragon laptops get more affordable
Source: PC World
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x is a tough laptop to pass judgement on. If this was one of the $600 Snapdragon laptops we were promised by Qualcomm’s marketing push, I think it would be compelling. At $749, the compromises — the display, speakers, webcam, and GPU in particular — feel like they add up fast. On the other hand, this machine is worlds better than the Intel variant I just reviewed. You’re getting a faster CPU, faster GPU, much longer battery life, Wi-Fi 7 support, and an NPU for Copilot+ PC AI features. The laptop runs cooler and quieter. I’d much rather have the Snapdragon hardware in this chassis than that particular Intel chip. While I haven’t seen another Snapdragon laptop or Copilot+ PC with a starting retail price this low, you can often find laptops with more impressive hardware on sale around the $749 price point.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x could be my new favorite budget laptop — here’s why
Source: Tom's Guide
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x has all the makings to become my new favorite low-cost laptop — decent power for your day-to-day, a nice-sized battery, AI capabilities and a versatile range of ports all packed into a slim, sleek chassis. The display’s a bit dim, but that didn’t deter me from my confidence in this.

100% Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x 2025: King of the cheap laptops
Source: Expert Reviews Archive.org version
At the start of this review, I posed the question: Is the IdeaPad Slim 3x a half-price MacBook Air? Of course, such a thing is impossible, so it’s unfair to expect the answer to be yes; but the new Lenovo comes a darned sight closer than you’d expect. Across the board, the Lenovo delivers higher levels of performance, usability and desirability than you’ve any right to expect of a budget laptop, which at the entry level is exactly what the IdeaPad Slim 3x is. But it’s when almost fully loaded that the IdeaPad Slim 3x is at its giant-killer best: a 2.5K OLED screen, Wi-Fi 7, 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD for £670 is spectacular value.

Qualcomm Adreno X1-45 1.7 TFLOPS: An integrated graphics adapter that the Snapdragon X Plus 8-core X1P-42-100 SoC features. Compared to the faster 3.8 TFLOPS and 4.6 TFLOPS X1-85 iGPUs, this one does not just run at lower clock speeds but also has fewer unified shaders at its disposal, with 768 being the most likely number. The underlying architecture is reportedly not much different from what was used in the Adreno 730. As for its gaming performance, it's only just sufficient for pre-2020 games at resolutions such as HD 720p on low graphics settings.

Modern games should be playable with these graphics cards at low settings and resolutions. Casual gamers may be happy with these cards.

SD X1-26-100: An affordable ARM architecture processor (SoC) for use in Windows laptops. The 8-core Snapdragon X chip features 8 Oryon CPU cores running at up to 2.98 GHz, along with the 1.7 TFLOPS X1-45 Adreno iGPU and the 45 TOPS Hexagon NPU. The super-fast LPDDR5x-8448 memory controller known to us from other Snapdragon X chips, USB 4.0 support, TB 4 support and PCIe 4 support are all onboard as well.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.
