Available with the same design and AMD Ryzen processors as the IdeaPad Gaming 3, Lenovo’s IdeaPad Gaming 3i is one of the most attractive notebooks for budget gamers. The Core i7-12700H and RTX 3050 Ti configuration with 8/512 GB is now 27% off on Amazon, so its US$1,099.99 list price is down to US$799.99.
While it only features 8 GB DDR4-3200 MHz memory and 512 GB of storage space, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i is a very tempting deal when taking into account the US$799.99 price tag. With a list price of US$1,099.99, this budget gaming notebook features the Intel Core i7-12700H processor and NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti graphics.
In addition to the above, it should be mentioned that the IdeaPad Gaming 3i comes with a FHD 15.6-inch display and features WiFi 802.11 ax and Bluetooth connectivity. Thankfully, there is a free memory slot that allows an upgrade to 16 GB and provides the benefits of a dual-channel setup. The pre-installed operating system is Windows 11 Home.
After 952 user reviews (awarded to no less than 7 configurations/bundles available on Amazon), the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3/3i has a 4.4/5 rating. This rating is the result of 72% perfect scores and 15% 4/5 ones. The breakdown by features starts with a rather low 3.4 score for battery life and continues with the following: 3.9 for brightness, 4.2 for gaming performance, 4.3 for screen quality, 4.4 for quality of materials used, and a 4.6 for the notebook’s “value for money” factor.

In my early school days, I hated writing and having to make up stories. A decade later, I started to enjoy it. Since then, I published a few offline articles and then I moved to the online space, where I contributed to major websites that are still present online as of 2021 such as Softpedia, Brothersoft, Download3000, but I also wrote for multiple blogs that have disappeared over the years. I’ve been riding with the Notebookcheck crew since 2013 and I am not planning to leave it anytime soon. In love with good mechanical keyboards, vinyl and tape sound, but also smartphones, streaming services, and digital art.
