Lenovo IdeaPad 3 i5-1135G7 12GB 256GB 15.6" Touch FHD Arctic Grey laptop

Everyday laptop for home and office

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 pairs an 11th Gen Intel Core i5-1135G7 with 12GB of DDR4 memory and a 256GB NVMe SSD. A 15.6 inch touch-enabled IPS panel at 1920 x 1080 resolution supports direct input for navigation and annotation. Windows 10 Home in S mode ships installed, with a path to Windows 11 Pro available. Integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics drive the display and handle light creative tasks.

Step up from 8GB non-touch models

Moving from an 8GB configuration to 12GB adds headroom for multitasking across browser tabs, office suites and video calls. The touchscreen replaces a standard non-touch panel, which helps when marking up documents or navigating without a mouse. The jump is worth it if your current system feels sluggish with several apps open or if you want pen and finger input on a 15.6 inch screen.

Ready to use with minimal setup

The laptop arrives configured and tested, so first boot walks through Windows initial setup only. The 65W adapter charges the 3-cell 45 WHr battery through the USB Type-C port. Common issues include S-mode restricting app installs to the Microsoft Store until switched out, and the single HDMI output limiting external displays to one additional screen..memory and storage are not user-accessible without removing the base cover.
