Ryzen 3 outperforming Core i3: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 laptop review

80% Ryzen 3 outperforming Core i3: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 laptop review

Great performance per dollar. The IdeaPad 3 15 is a budget system that doesn't skimp on performance even when compared to a Core i7 in certain conditions. Though it feels fast for the price, the limited color space of the display and lack of some USB-C features can be disappointing.
