As we saw in this review, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15″, 2022) is a well-engineered laptop. To be honest, Lenovo hasn’t done anything revolutionary. It just got everything learned from the Legion series, plus some proven technologies seen elsewhere, and combined it inside an inexpensive offering for the low-to-medium-budget gamer. Not to mention the hotspot location, corresponding to the battery connector. This means that the connector is under stress at all times during gameplay, and we don’t really know what this would mean for the longevity of the device. Here, we have to say that the RTX 3060 model should not suffer from this issue, as it is supplied with a 170W charger by default. The main benchmark of UL's PCMark 10 simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks, such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and video conferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage. All battery life claims are approximate and based on results using the MobileMark ® 2018 battery-life benchmark test. Actual battery life will vary and depends on many factors such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use.
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15″, 2021)’s display doesn’t use PWM at any brightness level. This makes it comfortable and safe in this aspect. Thankfully, the upgrade options are decent, as you get two SODIMM slots for memory expansion, two M.2 PCIe x4 slots, as well as a 2.5-inch SATA drive bay with the mounting and connecting accessories included inside the box. Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15, 2022) in the configuration we tested has a Full HD 120Hz IPS panel with a model number LEN156FHD (BOE NV156FHM-NX1, BOE0A81). Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.62 cm), and the resolution is 1920 х 1080 pixels. The screen ratio is 16:9, and we are looking at a pixel density of – 142 ppi, and a pitch of 0.18 х 0.18 mm. The screen turns into Retina when viewed at distance equal to or greater than 60cm (24″) (from this distance one’s eye stops differentiating the separate pixels, and it is normal for looking at a laptop).Installing our Health-Guard profile not only eliminates PWM but also reduces the harmful Blue Light emissions while keeping the colors of the screen perceptually accurate. If you’re not familiar with the Blue light, the TL;DR version is – emissions that negatively affect your eyes, skin, and your whole body. You can find more information about that in our dedicated article on Blue Light. Gloss level measurement Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode. The situation on the graphics front is significantly calmer. The temperatures barely exceed 70°C, while the GPU is able to run at about 2 GHz for more than 30 minutes. This will bring a huge fight to the Acer Nitro 5 (AN515-58). Gaming comfort Unsurprisingly, this laptop is made entirely out of plastic. There are two colors you can choose from, with the White version being really fresh, while the Grey one looks rather stylish.
Remove the metal shroud to access the two SODIMM slots. They work with DDR5 modules and we are pretty confident that you can fit up to 64GB in total. Storage-wise, there are two M.2 PCIe x4 slots. The 42mm one supports Gen 4 drives, while the 80mm one is limited to Gen 3 SSDs. After that, we test the reaction time of the pixels with the usual “Gray-to-Gray” method from 50% White to 80% White and vice versa between 10% and 90% of the amplitude. Now you know that the IdeaPad Gaming 3 (15″, 2022) features AMD CPUs, but what kind of processors can you choose from? You shouldn’t be too confused, as there are only two versions – one with the Ryzen 5 6600H, and one with the Ryzen 7 6800H. Yes, Lenovo opted for the 45W Zen 3+ family. While it proved to be a mere refresh of the Ryzen 5000H series, it is still a very efficient CPU.
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15
Innovative 2-in-1s– part laptop, part tablet, part nothing you’ve seen before – for those who want to tap the untested power of the new. The IdeaPad Gaming 3 is the AMD-powered sibling of the Intel-based IdeaPad Gaming 3i, which we reviewed here in July 2020. Both are 15.6-inch systems with Full HD (1,920-by-1,080-pixel) screens with a 120Hz refresh rate. All battery life claims are approximate and based on results using the MobileMark ® 2018 battery-life benchmark test. Actual battery life will vary and depend on many factors, such as product configuration and usage, software use, wireless functionality, power management settings, and screen brightness. The maximum capacity of the battery will decrease with time and use.
