Lenovo is now selling a new budget 14-inch laptop internationally. Featuring Intel Panther Lake processors and up to a 60 Wh battery, the IdeaPad Slim 3 14IPH11 also boasts a 400 nit OLED display, dual SSD slots and even a full-sized SD card reader.

Lenovo has released numerous IdeaPad Slim laptops in 2026. For instance, the IdeaPad Slim 5 Ultra arrived recently in multiple countries with Intel Lunar Lake processors in a sub-1.2 kg housing. Also, Lenovo sells the IdeaPad Slim 3 featuring a 17-inch display and Intel Wildcat Lake processors.

Now, the company has started selling a new 14-inch model across Europe. Specifically, Lenovo is offering the IdeaPad Slim 3 14IPH11, having already released the IdeaPad Slim 5 14IPH11 in May. While the IdeaPad Slim 3 contains a few downgrades on its IdeaPad Slim 5 sibling, the former can still be configured with a 400-nit OLED display boasting 100% DCI-P3 colour space coverage.

Lenovo sells the IdeaPad Slim 3 14IPH11 in Cosmic Blue and Luna Grey finishes.

Moreover, Lenovo includes a full-sized SD card reader rather than the microSD alternative found in many 14-inch laptops. On top of that, the IdeaPad Slim 3 14IPH11 includes user-upgradeable RAM and two SSD slots. The new 14-inch laptop can be configured with 50 Wh or 60 Wh batteries, which Lenovo claims will last 19.5 hours and 21.9 hours when playing 1080p local videos at 150 nits. These batteries are complemented by Intel's Core Ultra 5 322 or Core Ultra 7 355 processors too, the latter of which we have already reviewed the latter in Dell's new XPS 14 and Lenovo's Yoga Slim 7 Ultra Aura Edition (curr. $1,949 on Amazon).

IdeaPad Slim 3 14IPH11 pricing starts at £970 in the UK, including VAT. Meanwhile, the 14-inch laptop costs €1,150-€1,389 in the Eurozone and SGD 1,195 in Singapore. While, the IdeaPad Slim 3 14IPH11 starts with the Core Ultra 5 322 and 16 GB of RAM in all countries, Lenovo includes a 256 GB SSD and a 50 Wh battery by default in some markets and a 512 GB SSD with a 60 Wh battery in others. Please see Lenovo's website for more details.
