Our review model specs:
512GB NVMe (upgradable)
20GB DDR4 RAM (maxed)
10th gen - i7 CPU
Intel IRIS Plus
17.3" IPS LCD FHD Non-Touch Display
17 inch laptops are not that popular these days so finding a good one has become somewhat of a challenge. The IdeaPad 3 lineup is supposed to be Lenovo's entry level laptop series, and this one is maxed out as far as specs are concerned. But can a souped up RAM and CPU really save this machine from a lack of other features and design flaws? Let's find out...

    Best wishes for 2022 to you also! The new camera delivers a more crisp and sharper video then the previous one. I don't know if it was the previous camera or you changing the lighting, but this video doesn't look look so overly white lit. In other words, this camera was a good investment.

    the trackpad is the same exact piece used in the 14,15,17 inch versions, to save on production cost, so it's for the 15, looks huge and awesome on the 14, and looks small on 17

    As far as budget/performance 5500u is top tier. Can get some solid pickups in the $300 range (specially if you go used). I just got this one for $380 used on ebay with 12gigs on ram 250 ssd.

    Yeah it's a shame this thing is so "bare bones". If it wasn't so expensive I'd be less disappointed. Dell's Inspiron 2-1 17 has a numpad if you don't mind getting into the 800+ price range.

    It's a way better value nowadays. I bought mine for the equivalent of $540. It is somewhat bottlenecked by the 8gb of RAM (Which is upgradable anyways), has a 12th gen i3 that is almost on par with the 10th gen i7s (A very fast dual core with another 4 eco cores attached), so battery life should be better, and the build quality fits more into that price tier. The screen is quite nice for the price range. I remember few years ago when non full-hd, TN was still the norm. This is an IPS with 93%ish RGB coverage and good contrast.
