Product Information

So let’s carry on with our Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 15.6in Pentium 4GB 128GB Laptop review and explore the product’s pricing. Lenovo's IdeaPad 3i easily clears a 4,000-point score in PCMark 10, indicating smooth sailing for basic productivity office apps, like Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace. The laptop also does pretty well in our CPU tests, though no one will mistake it for a video-editing or dataset-crunching workstation. While this IdeaPad is also the fastest of the three entrants to complete our Photoshop exercise, it's clearly built more for everyday productivity than digital content creation. Graphics Tests Next up is material. Read through the product description for Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 15.6in Pentium 4GB 128GB Laptop to get an understanding of the materials the product is made from. Some materials will obviously be known for delivering better quality item than others. You might also have decided that you’ll only accept a product made from a particular material. As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it.

If you are here, you are probably in the search of an affordable everyday notebook. This means your expectations won’t be high, but you can definitely make use of some power, decent battery life, and a good display. Right? The next step was to try and narrow down our search even more. So we’ve already looked the prices of products in the Laptops and netbooks category. Then we’ve also looked at the prices of products from Lenovo. So this step combines the two and looks specifically at the price you’d expect to pay for Lenovo branded products in the Laptops and netbooks category. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. As we said at the beginning of the review, your expectations should have been low. Unfortunately, the IdeaPad 3i Gen 6 (15″) kind of proved this with its poor build quality. Interestingly, Lenovo has shown with a lot of ThinkPads that it can make good-quality plastic devices. However, this particular laptop falls short of that, as its chassis is super bendy, and the hinges are unstable. Given the fact that the build is what provides the first impression, we feel that they could have done a better job. Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Gen 6 (15″)’s IPS panel (LG LP156WFH-SPP1 (LGD069A)) has a Full HD resolution, comfortable viewing angles, and a good contrast ratio. Thankfully, it doesn’t utilize PWM for brightness adjustment, which makes it safe. Of course, since this is a budget panel, it covers only half of the sRGB color gamut. Moreover, the color representation is not accurate, whatsoever.

UL's PCMark 10 is our main benchmark, which 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 videoconferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage. Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Gen 6 (15″) comes with a Full HD IPS panel, model number LG LP156WFH-SPP1 (LGD069A). Its diagonal is 15.6″ (39.62 cm), and the resolution – 1920 х 1080p. Additionally, the screen ratio is 16:9, the pixel density – 142 ppi, their pitch – 0.18 x 0.18 mm. The screen can be considered Retina when viewed from at least 60 cm (from this distance, the average human eye can’t see the individual pixels). To take this laptop apart, you need to undo 10 Phillips-head screws. After that, pry the bottom panel with a plastic tool, and remove it from the chassis.2. Battery Our “Design and Gaming” profile delivers optimal color temperature (6500K) at 140 cd/m2 luminance and sRGB gamma mode.

Office Work should be used mostly by users who spend most of the time looking at pieces of text, tables or just surfing. This profile aims to deliver better distinctness and clarity by keeping a flat gamma curve (2.20), native color temperature and perceptually accurate colors. Officially listed as model 15IAU7 and product number 82RK0017US, our test unit combines a 12th Generation Core i5-1235U processor (two Performance cores, eight Efficient cores, 12 threads) with 8GB of DDR4 memory and a 512GB PCIe SSD. Interestingly, it comes with Windows 11 Pro instead of most consumer machines' Win 11 Home. Wi-Fi 6 (not Wi-Fi 6E) and Bluetooth handle wireless connections. 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. ConclusionsFeaturing 4GB of RAM, this computer has enough power for tasks like web browsing and word processing. You'll be able to run a couple of windows at once without any obvious lag or slowdown. The maximum measured brightness is 312 nits (cd/m2) in the middle of the screen and 288 nits (cd/m2) average across the surface with a maximum deviation of 15%. The Correlated Color Temperature on a white screen and at maximum brightness is 6200K (average) – slightly warmer than the 6500K optimum for sRGB. The brand of product you buy can vary in importance, from person to person. Some people will of course be much more particular about the brands they will use. Whilst others aren’t interested in the brand and are more interested in the overall quality or price of the product itself. Thankfully Lenovo is a brand that many customers have grown to love over the years and is very popular for items in the Laptops and netbooks category.

The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Laptops and netbooks category, of which we found 151 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. This profile is aimed at designers who work with colors professionally, and for games and movies as well. Design and Gaming takes display panels to their limits, making them as accurate as possible in the sRGB IEC61966-2-1 standard for Web and HDTV, at white point D65. More information on quality can be found in this old but still very helpful article from Harvard Business Review. The first is brand. Looking at the brand of the product is often a really good indicator for judging product quality. For example you’d expect a much higher quality product from a brand known for providing excellent quality than you would from an unknown or even a budget brand.The next step after looking at products in the same category, was to look at products from the same brand, Lenovo. In this test we use 100% on the CPU cores, monitoring their frequencies and chip temperature. The first column shows a computer’s reaction to a short load (2-10 seconds), the second column simulates a serious task (between 15 and 30 seconds), and the third column is a good indicator of how good the laptop is for long loads such as video rendering.

Health-Guard eliminates the harmful Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) and reduces the negative Blue Light which affects our eyes and body. Since it’s custom tailored for every panel, it manages to keep the colors perceptually accurate. Health-Guard simulates paper so the pressure on the eyes is greatly reduced. Like some costlier notebooks, the IdeaPad 3i turns on when you open its lid rather than waiting for you to press the power button. The webcam has predictably soft-focus 720p resolution, but it captures relatively well-lit and colorful images without too much static. Buy It Direct Ltd is a limited company registered in England. Registered number 04171412. Registered office: Unit A Trident Business Park, Leeds Road, Huddersfield, West Yorkshire, HD2 1UA. On the other hand, we were pleased with the performance it provides. Its cooling solution is capable of handling the ULV CPUs without a hassle, and the upgrade options are on point. Thankfully, its soldered memory can work in dual-channel mode, when paired with a SODIMM RAM module. Also, there is an M.2 PCIe x4 slot, and a 2.5-inch SATA slot for storage upgrades. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Lenovo IdeaPad 3i 15.6in Pentium 4GB 128GB Laptop vs other products in the Laptops and netbooks category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives.Still, we’ve included other color spaces like the famous DCI-P3 standard used by movie studios, as well as the digital UHD Rec.2020 standard. Rec.2020, however, is still a thing of the future and it’s difficult for today’s displays to cover that well. We’ve also included the so-called Michael Pointer gamut, or Pointer’s gamut, which represents the colors that naturally occur around us every day. We have to say that despite the budget nature of this notebook, Lenovo didn’t spare any resources and efforts in designing its cooling solution. As you can see, even under extreme workloads, the device can maintain a frequency higher than the 2.40 GHz base one for this processor. Comfort during full load The next figure shows how well the display is able to reproduce really dark parts of an image, which is essential when watching movies or playing games in low ambient light.
