I got the IdeaPad 3 and my mom got the IdeaPad 5 in October 2 months before me. Hers is definitely better build quality but for plastic the 3 pretty good. We both have core i5 11th gen, 12gb ram, 256 gb storage. She has a smaller 14" screen but with the tablet hinge. The only reason I'd prefer the 3 over 5 is price even on sale mine was 450 and hers open box was 600 or 650 usd. Only reason I'd go to the 5 is if it had thunderbolt. Also I don't think you can charge the IdeaPad 3 through the USB type C.
Can you PLEASE do a video on Lenovo laptops that DO have a good display/sRGB rating and also budget laptops with good sRGB rating? I have been trying to find a laptop for about a year but all reviews (not just yours) keep talking about those with bad displays and never budget laptops with GOOD displays. Something with an i7 and good display. Please help!
Yo man appreciate the amount of time you put in this videos! Btw can you suggest an affordable laptop with in 1100-1200 USD with awesome single core performance, good battery life(preferably near the evo platform) and backlit keyboard? I don't really care about other features as long as it has 8 gb ram and upgradeable ssd.
BE AWARE PEOPLE THAT ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING : there is a few mistakes on the specs.. the ideapad 3 can NOT be charged with usb C the max ram on the ideapad 5 is 20GB
I have the option to buy ideapad 5 with i5 1235u /16 ram and mx550 or the ideapad 3 with i7 1255u /16 ram and integrated graphics both with ips pannel and same price which one to pick ?
Has anyone been able to find a hard cover for the ideapad 3? I've been looking for a hard shell case and I can't find one. They have them for the 5 but not the 3 as far as I've seen.
Am not technical but really enjoyed your straight forward no nonsense video. Can I ask a simple question please? Is the Ideapad 3 8gb/256gb sufficient to hold a large itunes library I currently have 88gb of music on the iPod. Many Thanks
My lenovo IdeaPad l3-15ITL6 lags randomly The issue comes when I'm using my browser and a WhatsApp notification will slow down the whole laptop for 4-8 seconds or a tab reload will slow it down to the point that if you were watching a RUclips video, it would stutter slowing down frame by frame and I have noticed that during all this, GPU is peaking and CPU also peaks. It does not depend on the total load of the system because I have seen it happen even on 2-3 tabs open. I have tried updating BIOS and also deleting GPU drivers and installing from lenovo support. I have also tried video playback option to be optimize video instead of optimize battery but nothing seems to have solved the issue. I am using windows 11.

My Ideapad 5-15ITL05 Laptop - Type 82FG broke already! Three months! Sound driver not to be found. Tech went in remotely and tried several times to fix it. IT WAS PAIRED TO an IPHONE, but not mine because it didn't come up in my bluetooth. We couldn't get it to keep the iPhone off, even though we unintalled it When we did that no sound at all in device mgr. If I shut it down, turn it back on and turn bluetooth on...it still says paired with iPhone. I name my iPhone, it should say LInda's iPhone, but noooooo. REALTEK is JUNK! I had to turn my hp in for sound not working, three months ago after two weeks of having it and bought the lenovo. I don't know if I will go back to it. WTH is up with the junkie stuff from REALTEK???? Weird. I got it at costco.

Correction for some reason the 14alc05 IdeaPad 5 with 14 inches has a 1.4 rated HDMi port that is actually a 2.0 that can power a 4k 60 panel.

And you also can't turn off s mode which renders it basically useless because their apps suck.
the 5 feels premium i have 2 of them but the 3 you can upgrade the ram
Do they have the same Keyboard Size ?? I mean will the cover of my IdeaPad 3 fit perfectly if I upgrade to IdeaPad 5?
The amd ryzen 5 version support 20gb total. 4 gb soldered + 16gb ram
Would you suggest buying it? Does that RAM configuration differ in any way from regular 8+8 (for example) configuration?
Great video
Thank you!

Grat video. Levono makes the best computers. I do like the Yoga 7i and the ThinkPad. I do like both of them.
Totally agree!
