Thanks for you viewership and support!
Hy ! What the game is at minute 11:12 ? thanx
@@Andrei.SeRe. I think that's Minecraft 🤔🤔
Hey, @SoulOfTech how many stars do u give this laptop out of 5?
Channel has been a lot of help for me as a laptop buyer shopping for laptops , much appreciated for the effort u put into these videos
We bought one to send to an employee in Kenya. It was fine editing Adobe Premiere 4k video. Very pleased with the price from B7H, $300 US. I wish I'd loaded Resolve on here too.
Thanks for this review. This device was on sale and I was considering a purchase. Your review shed light on the gen 1 USB C ports and the poor display colours and brightness, and its important for a machine to get this right for me so I'm passing on this one. Thank you!
Glad I could help!
What did you end up buying?
I like the way you explain everything..... I subscribed!
Always great to get that kind of feedback, thank you :)
Loving the performance of the Mediatek Kompanio in this IdeaPad Slim 3! Runs Chrome tabs smooth as butter!
Good review brother! Keep doing!
Appreciate it!
Literally just got it. Not hoping for major gaming, maybe some light stuff, BUT I will use it for typing my Books. Sooo
For general productivity is should be great!
How much did that cost?
@@rakeebroomy6294 Around $400.
can you tell me if it can run roblox fine 😭 if you can, im planning on buying it but im just worried
@@tirklus So for mine, I have the i5 version, it’s good for Roblox yes, but expect a few web download issues (that may be for all laptops, don’t know.) It works quite well, a bit of minor lag and you’ll need to crank your graphics…DOWN. I used the Xbox version for a good bit, but there isn’t a shift lock on that one or the Microsoft store version. Anymore questions and I’ll help!
On my old Lenovo G50-30 (2013) you just have to remove 3 screws so you can remove the back plastic and acces the RAM and HDD/SSD. Battery can also be easily removed without removing the back plastic. I don't know why they don't make them like that (user-friendly) anymore.
Here ram is soldered to motherboard and only one ram you can change normal. This is not for gaming then i dont care. Media works only one i can change is better speakers.
because they'd make more money creating short lasting non upgradable products
Love the intro!!!
Thank you 😊
I'm just here for the One Piece video clips. The reviews are the side dish.
The Ideapd Slim 3 Chromebook is also quite good with Mediatek's Kompanio chip.
My lenovo wireless mouse which connect's with usb c adapter,stopped working after two days on this laptop. It's suspicios but it works on my smartphone
I just got myself one of these bad boys on sale at Staples for 350, a really good buy and I’m really liking it so far.
Glad to hear that
i need one to play csgo and world of warcraft think i should i buy this? its at my staples to =D
@@kzilla3 gosh I wish I could weigh in but I am the furthest thing from a gamer. Maybe post your question in the main chat, so the channel and other folks can see it! I’m sure you’ll get the answer you need.
Could you please advise if the RAM can be upgraded? It says 8GB onboard. I wanted to know if there was another empty RAM slot available.
@@user-cj1ic7kq4n no. you have to buy the 16 gb one
Good review
Thank you
Your videos are very well made, they helped a lot, thanks! PS: Which would you suggest Lenovo IdeaPad i5 12th gen OR Dell Inspiron 5430 i5 13th gen, for lawyers?
Honestly I would pick the IdeaPad 5i if typing is something you do a lot (assuming you do as a lawyer). The keyboards on the Lenovo are just in a league of their own. Though I do find the general build quality of the 5430 to be better plus you get 13th gen hardware.
Really great video, super helpful. I have one question and if you’d be able to reply I’d really appreciate it, i want to use the computer to run graphic design software but I’m going to use a drawing pad to actually draw and make the art on. The rgb of my graphics pad is super good, and I was wondering if I got this computer would the rgb of it matter or is it only the rgb of my drawing pad which would matter
good video. can you charge using the usb c ? I mean using another charger.
Looks good
Can you do a video about their 500 cdn dollar version Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15AMN8 15.6" FHD IPS Laptop that would be cool
Hi, what would be your best budget recommendation if I only care about screen quality and nothing else? 14-15"
The laptop wallpaper is very beautiful!! Where is this wallpaper?
its on sale for 440$ US dollars, is it worth buying at this price
Hi @SoulOfTech, The company website shows that it has 1 x Type-C 3.2 Gen 1 (full function) port. I suppose this means that it can charge and give display connectivity through it. I have a Dell docking station with Type-C wire, it would be really helpful if you could please confirm if this laptop will work with my docking station?
Thanks.
1:00 13th generation i3-1315U Processor.
Thus that means this is 15 or 14IRU8 model. So called 8 Gen.
Can this handle a heavy photoshop job? Like a large canvas and loads of layers? Can I upgrade the ram to 32gb?
2:40 10% slimmer ???!!! Wow!!!
That's interesting! I had no info about that dimensional progress before!
Yes it’s a subtle but welcome change for sure!
Glad I looked at our video 1st! I'm looking for a laptop for programming school. Any recommendations?
so.. which one did you get?
hi! may i also know what laptop did u get?
what about this laptop but with AMD instead of intel?
3:35 BTW fortunately officially that USB type C port has Power Delivery feature (starting even from previous Gen 7 version of this model) and that's what I really need from every contemporary budget 14-inch laptop. (I prefer smaller 14-inch version of this model over 15-inch version)
Hi, I’m sorry for the late response for the 15.6’’ does it have PD? I read the documentation for it and it does technically say it but I’ve never heard someone use it.
I like the hand written note for you from lenovo 😆
XD
hey i wanted to know how much is the average fps in fortnite / roblox
what's the storage for the idea pad 3i?
Do you think it has better and stronger sound than HP laptop 15 (2023)? Which one would you advise me more - HP Laptop 2023 or Lenovo Ideapad slim 3?
what about ram, is it single channel or dual ?? upgradability?
is this computer fit for games such as wurm online or crossout?
The Ideapad Slim has another version on the horizon, this time with Mediatek Kompanio. Can you provide me with details about it?
Anything bad about the hinge? And possible problems..
2:03 sadly they didn't paired this newest Gen 8 model version with an USB type C charger!
That's so frustrating!
What about the model: Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15.6" Full HD IPS (Core i7-1355U/16GB/1TB SSD/Iris Xe Graphics/Win11
Any idea how much contrast is the screen ?
plz replay me in this laptop taskbar manager theres pen use icon to on and off it, whats the use of that ?
Laptop Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IAN8 8GB RAM 256GB SSD 15.6"
They only mixed things up with 16:10 aspect ratio on the new Slim 5 and 5i.
I’ll review the slim 5/5i soon, hopefully there is more to it than just that :/
Is it possible for this laptop to run Adobe Creative Cloud and Sims 4?
I bought it today ❤
Hope you like it!
Hinge wise, do u think the ideapad slim 3 is more durable than the ideapad 3?
Soo which one is better?
How would you say this compares to Acer Aspire 5 i7? A515-57-71G1. Can't find any reviews on it... it has better specs but less reliable than lenovo 🙏
would fm2024 work on it without a problem? ty.
is it worth 500 usd for new?
am considering this laptop with i5-1335u qith 16g ram would if considered gd working station video editing and etc, i have monitor for color already.
Very good review I will buy it
Great 👍 Thanks for watching!
How does this compare to the 2023 IdeaPad 1?
Hi! What do you think about the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 with Intel Core i5-12450H, 8GB RAM and 512GB? I'm not sure if I should buy it, I'm a lawyer. Thank you for your help! 🥺
I would like to know you opinion on some laptops for programming! Imma use this for school and I wouldn't mind seeing your opinion, Incase you have a video about it if help me
I literarly cant find a review for my Ryzen 3 5000 series proccesor version.
Good info, but need to pop open the back to let the viewer know the battery size and RAM/NVME upgradeable or not?
Nothing can be upgraded in this model
3:35 USB type C Gen 1 port
how can i upgrade the ram of this computer, there's gotta be a way
is the RAM in this laptop upgradable? i just ordered one with 8gb soldered and wanted to know if theres another slot that i could upgrade further down the line
It's Soldered
Nope no additional slot
Mine upgraded to 12 gb
@@prefereachotherhow??? I have the same laptop and i wanted to upgrade from 8gb to 12 or 16.. is that possible?
Hi! Question. I have the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 and it has a backlight keyboard but for some reason I cannot adjust its brightness, it only has on and off (dim and off) options. Is this normal? But the laptop im using from our company office (same unit and brand) you can adjust its brightness (dim, high and off).
the same problem. I have ideapad slim 3 with i3 N305 processor. Even in this video, you can see that the keyboard has only one level of brightness. On the other hand, when turning on the laptop, the keyboard shines with stronger lighting, which means that the hardware itself supports stronger lighting, but the problem is in the software. I hope that Lenovo will solve this problem.
@@user-nz1xs3vb9d I so agree with you! I actually tried calling the Lenovo Premium Support here in the Philippines about this issue but all they said was it only supports one type of keyboard light (it cannot be adjusted because it was according to the "specs" of the laptop) but honestly I doubt it because if it only supports one type of light, then how come whenever we reboot it or turn it on, its showing us maximum brightness. Really frustrating.
How to on/off keyboard light?
@@nightsky342 fn + space
@@kheiceeI recently bought this laptop and same problem I am facing
did you get any solution of adjusting the brightness ?
please let me know
Got mine for $340 US. Love it so far.
Awesome
Is it the ideapad slim 3 you are talking about?
Yes its the same price here in iran@@user-xd6ul1ol5n
Where did you get it
@@Toosmoothyt staples in delaware
I ordered for 430$ ryzen 7 16 gb ram someone tell me how the 🔊 sound. I tried Lenovo in store it sounds horrible budget hp is double volume and quality. Even tho it says dolby.
hello just question this laptop but with i5 gen 13 with 16g ram but the video editing part and gaming would it be decent.
As me. Now I don't konow if its good or not
The computer you are explaining is the same price as the Dell Inspiron 3530 i5 13 th 16 gigabit laptop, which do you recommend out of the 2 laptops
Hi i am the same question xD wich did u choose? thanks
Aspire Vero Core i5 12a Gen/8 GB RAM/512 GB SSD or Lenovo IdeaPad Core i3 13a Gen/8 GB RAM/512 GB 🤔
This is the reason why i still keep buying older and refurbished ThinkPads. Consumer Notebooks are such a low quality over the last 5-8 years its so frustrating to watch.
100% unfortunately
Did anyone notice tempture😅
Idk what this means but is it good for playing the sims and studying education at uni
Yes
may i know which one is better for accounting course huawei matebook d15, lenovo ideapad slim 3 or dell inspiron 15?
It depends on the price to specs you get honestly. None of them are bad. But if I had to pick blindly off the model I personally would get the Dell Inspiron 15.
@SoulOfTech thanks! but may i ask if it's between the huawei matebook d 15 or the lenovo ideapad slim 3 which one is better?
Me again now I don't kow wiche I take hawawei mat bood d15 or this lenovo.
Hello - Thanks for the Great video. Do you know if the RAM can be upgraded on this machine? I know the 8GB DDR5 is onboard and probably soldered. But is there another free slot to add more RAM? Thanks in Advance.
The model I had did not have any upgradable ram slots. The 8gb was hard soldered as well sadly :(
@@SoulOfTech Thanks. That's a pity. Why would Lenovo hamper the RAM upgrade? Their previous generations always used to have an empty slot for more RAM. The 8GB is just too little for practical use.
Lenovo IdeaPad slim 3 sound break problem
Can you control the fans speed? I don't care about noise but I care a lot about heat. Dell and Lenovo seem to have a rep of running very hot which is not a good thing.
What would you choose between this Lenovo and HP Laptop 15 (2023) for basic usage (no gaming, programming or editing)?
Hey! I have a review on both products for 2023 so Id check it out to make sure you have all the facts.
With that said, Ideapad 3 has a better KB/Trackpad but the rest of the things are very similar to HP in quality.
This and hawawei mate book d15 wiche its good.
Is the screen not wobbly?
2:04 charging adaptor
I've been thinking about this one vs honor magicbook x15 i5, which would be better?
Probably the one in the video 😊.
Hello sir i want to buy a laptop as a student so which laptoo do you prefer under 500 dollars? I don't have knowledge about laptop etc. Thanks in advance sir.
Hi there, there are plenty of laptop videos on my channel covering midrange and budget laptops. Hopefully those reviews can help you.
if your a VA this is great, not for gamers tho
is it touchscreen
hii i heard there was a 2024 model? what do u think of that and would u do a review for that?
Hi there, yes the 2024 model will be reviewed in early spring as it becomes available:)
Cant wait
@@SoulOfTech
the similar design dilemma was too dramatic
I want to buy it since my budget is suitable for it, is it worth it?
it depends on how and where you gonna use it
Can game in this?
got one for 160
There's an option with Ryzen 5 7520U and 512 GB SSD for the same price as i3.....what do you think is better option? Thanks!
Ryzen 5 hands down. Its a tier above the i3 in terms of raw output.
Went over to micro center to test it and it was super fast and it felt great , especially the keyboard. But the screen... deal breaker. Low Res and colors look washed out. Can't do it
I am computer science student and am thinking about this laptop is it good enough ?? and what about battery performance?With i7-and 16Gb ram
Soo did u get it
@@NBaa2123 No ,actually I changed my mind to Huawei mate D14 it has better battery
Please how to turn keyboard light on/off please anyone knows reply thanks
I have a video on my channel explaining it.
Hello. Have you noticed any touchpad latency with this laptpop? I tried it at the shop and there was definitely some latency
Hey, nothing major, you may have a defective unit.
ok for video editing??
Please see performance chapter.
I came here for i7 edition but lol😂
Is this good for graphic design?
Is this touchscreen because that’s what they are promoting
I watched this and chromecast and bought one. The processor was very weak, it would reboot without notice. It turned off the mic and any other permissions and the reboot took longer. I ended up sending it back. It felt solid, looked nice, (the screen was average) but from my own experience you will be disappointed, even when just web browsing.
has to have that specific laptops issue, thats not normal for any laptop
@@tvmpI agree. Owned and have used Lenovo for years and looks like he had a lemon. Definitely not normal.
Acer aspire 3 or lenovo ideapad 3 ???
Lenovo ideapad 3
man can i get the wallpaper of the laptop
Is the web cam 360?
He literally said it’s 720p
How long do I charge it for the first time!?
The battery is alredy pre-drained to about 50% so you can go ahead and charge it.
Most of the Lenovo laptops look the same. I have an IdeaPad S340 and this also seems the same.
Some body say U series processor not good,, is it true ?
It depends on the need. U series chips are more battery focused so they have lower performacne. But they can still do all day to day stuff.
