Still, with the base specs, the performance here is solid. The laptop can support up to 32GB RAM by the way, so if you feel the need, you can upgrade it yourself to 32GB as well. Bringing this up to a dual channel memory configuration will give you a slight performance boost, and 16GB RAM is definitely a good place to be in. If you can, I would recommend getting another 8GB stick and adding that to the system. That means the laptop is in single channel configuration.

However, it’s important to note that the laptop has two RAM slots, and in the 8GB variant only one of them is populated. All of which sounds pretty standard for a gaming laptop in this price bracket. The model I have here has the 10th-gen Core i5 processor, paired with 8GB RAM, and the GTX 1650 Ti GPU. The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i comes with up to a Core i7 processor, 16GB RAM, and Nvidia GTX 1650 Ti graphics. That will make the gaming experience on this laptop a lot better. Obviously, if you can afford it, I’d recommend going for a variant with a higher refresh rate. Thanks to the anti-glare coating, it should also handle well if you’re sitting outside in the sun. Text is crisp, colors look pretty good, and the display can get quite bright. Sure, it’s not the best display I’ve seen on a laptop, but it’s not bad by any means. Obviously, the higher refresh rate screens will make for an even better gaming experience, but this 60Hz panel is no slouch either. This is the base variant of the laptop, but you can spend extra if you want better hardware and a 120Hz or 144Hz panel if you like.

It’s a FullHD panel, with an anti-glare coating and a 60Hz refresh rate. However, if this was a laptop I bought, this sticker would be in the trash by now and maybe the others would be too.Īnyway, let’s talk about the display.

This is a review unit, so I definitely won’t be taking anything off of it.

It’s tilted, and it’s making me want to tear it off. Now, this isn’t something that’s gonna be there on every laptop, but that QR code for eSupport? That’s not in line with the other stickers above it. Alright, so this placement is already better than what most laptops have, and kudos to Lenovo for placing stickers in a neat-ish way.
