There is nothing more pleasant than the possibility of being able to play, study or work anywhere you are.
For this we will need a good laptop, a terminal that offers us a quick solution for the area in which we will use it.


In this case, we will obviously talk about the gaming world and for that, Lenovo has released its banner with the Lenovo Ideapad Gaming 3.

It's a budget-friendly 156-inch gaming laptop. Like many laptops, it has a powerful CPU and very capable GPU options; however, it compromises on other aspects to make it more affordable. This model has AMD Ryzen 5000 CPU and NVIDIA dedicated GPU options.


Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 has an AMD Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, a dedicated NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 GPU, 8 GB of memory and 1256 GB of storage in the form of a 256 GB PCIe NVMe SSD and a 1 TB hard drive


This terminal is good for gaming. Your AMD Ryzen CPU and NVIDIA dedicated GPU can deliver a smooth 1080p gaming experience, though you need to make sure you get 16GB of memory, thankfully, it's easy to access internal components for upgrades, so you can do it yourself later.


Its 120 Hz screen offers a relatively clear picture in fast-moving scenes


The advantages of this terminal are as follows.

120 Hz refresh rate with FreeSync support.
User-upgradeable memory and storage unit.
Minimal CPU acceleration.
GPU Doesn't Accelerate Under Load.


The Lenovo ideapad gaming 3 has a 165 Hz panel option available if you want even smoother gaming, though you'll need to upgrade to an RTX 3060 to get the most out of it.


Performance over time is outstanding, as there is only a small amount of thermal throttling on the CPU and none on the GPU, but the fans are quite noisy under load.


Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 AMD has mediocre port selection. Its USB-A ports only support USB 32 Gen 1 data transfer rate (up to 5 Gbps)


Conclusion.


This terminal is among the best budget gaming laptops on the market in terms of build quality, as well as the quality of its keyboard and touchpad. However, port selection is lacking, and single-rank x16 memory usage makes overall performance worse than expected, so you have to pay more to upgrade memory if you want to get the most out of your CPU and GPU.
