Lenovo IdeaPad 3 laptop 15.6" Touch 220 nits Ryzen 3 3250U 8GB 512GB SSD Almond

Everyday touchscreen laptop

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is a 15.6 inch HD touchscreen laptop built for daily home and office use. An AMD Ryzen 3 3250U dual-core processor runs at 2.60 GHz and handles web browsing, document editing and video calls. Integrated AMD Radeon graphics drive the 1366 x 768 display at 220 nits brightness. Windows 10 Home is pre-installed with a Windows 11 Pro upgrade path available.

Capacity and headroom

8 GB of DDR4 2400 memory splits between 4 GB soldered and a 4 GB DIMM, giving enough headroom for multiple browser tabs and office apps simultaneously. The 512 GB PCIe solid-state drive stores the operating system, programmes and personal files with fast boot and load times. Heavy multitasking or large creative projects will exceed the memory limit since the soldered portion cannot be expanded. Demanding 3D workloads exceed the integrated graphics capability.

Build, connectors and daily use

The Almond chassis weighs 3.70 lbs and includes a physical webcam shutter for privacy. A full-size numeric keypad speeds up spreadsheet work. Dual speakers feature Dolby Audio enhancement for clearer sound. Bluetooth 5.0 connects wireless peripherals without cables. The anti-glare touchscreen supports direct input for navigation and annotation. No backlit keyboard is fitted, so low-light typing relies on ambient light.
