[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Earlier this year, Lenovo refreshed its IdeaPad lineup of laptops with the latest processors from Intel and AMD. In this review, I’ll be discussing the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 (2021) powered by AMD Ryzen 5 5500U CPU.
Pros and Cons of Lenovo Ideapad 3 2021
| Pros | Cons |

Style and Design
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 is a basic-looking laptop that shouldn’t stick out in a professional environment. As it’s a 15.6-inch device, it has enough room on the deck for a full-size keyboard with a Numpad on the right side. The exhaust vents are on the bottom near the back, while the speakers are near the front. Moving on, I’m in love with this Abyss Blue finish that Lenovo has used in this laptop. Not only does it help the IdeaPad 3 stand out from the generic look of most laptops in its price range, but the reflective decal also gives a certain character to the device.
Thanks to the Flip-to-Open feature, you only need to flip the lid to get the laptop running. You can then sign in using the fingerprint scanner (supports Windows Hello login) integrated into the power button.
Display of Lenovo Ideapad
You can configure the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 with a 1080p TN or a 1080p IPS panel, with or without support for touch input. Text and images look decently sharp, but some people may find the 16:9 aspect ratio a little too short for productivity. We recommend getting a model with the IPS panel because TN panels usually have worse viewing angles and color reproduction.
CPU Performance
Performance Over Time
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3’s performance over time is outstanding. Neither the CPU nor GPU gets hot under load, and although there’s a little bit of throttling on the CPU, the average amount of performance loss is extremely minimal and isn’t noticeable.
