Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 laptop, AMD Ryzen 5 8540U, 32 GB RAM, 1 TB SSD, 15.3" WUXGA touch, Luna Grey

A 15.3-inch touch laptop for daily work

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 ships new in Luna Grey with Windows 11 Home. An AMD Ryzen 5 8540U processor runs at 3.20 GHz up to 4.90 GHz alongside 32 GB DDR5 RAM and a 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSD. The 1920 x 1200 IPS panel covers 45% NTSC at 300 nits and 60 Hz, adding touch input for direct control.

Practical limits of Wi-Fi 6 and HDMI 1.4

Wireless uses Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 for local connectivity. The single HDMI 1.4 port outputs 4K at 30 Hz maximum, so external monitors above that refresh rate need a different link. Two USB-A and one USB-C port all operate at 5 Gbps; the USB-C adds power delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.2 for video or charging. A micro SD reader handles card transfers.

Straightforward setup with sealed memory

The laptop arrives fully assembled; open the lid, sign into Windows 11 Home and begin working. RAM is soldered to 32 GB so capacity cannot be increased later. Storage uses a single NVMe slot already filled by the 1 TB drive — adding space means cloning or swapping that module. The 60 Wh battery and 13.52 x 9.43 x .70 in chassis keep weight to 3.59 lbs for mobile use.
