UL's PCMark 10 is our main benchmark, which simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and videoconferencing. Build quality is fair, though you'll feel considerable flex if you grasp the screen corners or mash the keyboard. That makes it a tad trimmer than the comparably priced Acer Aspire 5 we recently reviewed (0.71 by 14.3 by 9.9 inches, 3.88 pounds), though no 15.6-inch laptop qualifies as an easy-to-carry ultraportable. It doesn't give us the thrill or that extra pinch of value that earns an Editors' Choice award, but this affordable laptop deserves a very respectable rating.ĭon't look for a sleek aluminum or magnesium chassis here: The IdeaPad 3i is a slab of Arctic Gray ABS plastic measuring 0.78 by 14.1 by 9.3 inches (HWD) and weighing 3.6 pounds. Like other economy models, it's not especially powerful or exciting, but the IdeaPad 3i provides decent performance and features (such as a 512GB instead of a skimpy 256GB solid-state drive) as an online- or homework-ready desktop alternative. The budget laptop, not to be confused with the IdeaPad Gaming 3, is a consumer model sold at retail-Amazon lists it for $649.99 marked down to $529.99 at this writing, and we've seen prices ranging from $480 to $620-with a 15.6-inch, full HD screen and an Intel Core i5 processor. You won't find the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i on the computer maker's website.
