Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 Laptop

The Ideapad series from Lenovo is renowned for creating laptops that offer an exceptional price-to-performance ratio, specifically designed to fulfill all your fundamental computing tasks. With the introduction of Intel's newest 13th Generation Raptor Lake processors, Lenovo has elevated the Ideapad Slim 3 to new heights, focusing on achieving remarkable efficiency in every aspect.

The computing capability of the notebook is driven by the Intel Core i3 1305u 13th Generation Raptor Lake Processor, featuring an Intel Smart Cache of approximately 10MB. This processor comprises a configuration of five cores and six threads, wherein the cores are divided into a single performance core, and the remaining four cores are focused on efficiency. Operating at a base frequency of 1.6GHz as the standard setting, it can achieve a boost of up to 4.50GHz for maximum clock frequency.

The CPU supports memory up to LPDDR5/x at 5200 MT/s or up to LPDDR4x at 4267 MT/s, ensuring swift data access. For minor graphical processing tasks, it is equipped with integrated Intel Ultra HD Graphics, boasting a maximum dynamic frequency of 1.25GHz and around 64 execution units. Combining all this power allows it to effortlessly output 4k content at a refresh rate of 60Hz through HDMI.

Remarkably, the processor operates at a consumption of merely about 15 watts at its base clock, and when pushed to its maximum, it consumes approximately 55 watts of power. This is a result of effective power management, aided by the efficiency cores.

Supporting the central processing unit from its vicinity is the ultra-fast 8GB of onboard soldered LPDDR5 memory, operating at a speed of 4800MT/s. Its purpose is to ensure that files, software, and applications are written and read swiftly, which proves beneficial when multitasking among multiple windows.

This enhancement aids you in multitasking. Handling the storage and management of these files is the 256GB PCIe Gen 4 NVME Solid State Drive. In the event of insufficient storage, this drive can be conveniently upgraded in the future to align with your needs.

The pixels illuminate a 15.6-inch Full HD 1080p panel, which features an anti-glare coating to minimize light distortions and enhance privacy by reducing wide viewing angles. This TN panel achieves a maximum brightness of 250 nits, ensuring usability in various environments. Additionally, the screen's color accuracy is nearly flawless, especially considering the price at which it is offered.

While on the go, the power is provided and managed by an integrated 47Wh battery, offering approximately one to two hours of usage depending on your activities. To recharge this battery, a three-pin round-tip AC power adapter is included in the standard package. This adapter efficiently replenishes the device's battery.

The chassis is assembled using plastic components, resulting in a lightweight device (approximately 1.62 Kg). This design enhances its portability and mobility. Coupled with its excellent build quality, the notebook boasts Lenovo's signature high-quality keyboard, ensuring a superior typing experience. This is attributed to well-crafted cushioning, optimal travel time, and other refined tuning aspects.

The brand is renowned for crafting top-notch trackpads within the Windows laptop industry, and fortunately, the device features one of its exceptional trackpads. It offers an ideal size and delivers precise touch-and-click feedback for seamless inputs.

It also includes an HD 720p webcam equipped with a mechanical Privacy Shutter, along with two microphone arrays and two front-facing 1.5-watt speakers enhanced with Dolby Atmos technology.

To provide versatile connectivity options, the Ideapad Slim 3 is equipped with a USB-C® 3.2 Gen 1 port that supports data transfer, Power Delivery, and DisplayPort™ 1.2. It also features two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, an HDMI 1.4 port for display output, an SD Card Reader, an auxiliary jack, and a power adapter port.
