Our take on the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15IML05 81WR000BUS

The IdeaPad 3 15IML05 is a 15.6-inch budget laptop with a 10th-gen Intel Core i5-10210U, 256 GB SSD and a matte Full HD screen. It covers the basics well: full-size keyboard with numpad, USB-C, HDMI, a card reader and two RAM slots. It suits students and home users who want a plain work machine, but the plastic body, modest battery and older processor put it behind newer budget rivals.

Questions and answers

Is the IdeaPad 3 15IML05 good for everyday use?
Yes. The Core i5 and SSD handle browsing, Office work, video and light photo editing. It is not built for gaming or heavy video editing.
Can I upgrade the RAM and storage?
It has two RAM slots and supports up to 12 GB of DDR4, so you can add memory. The 256 GB SSD can be swapped for a larger drive.
Does it have a touchscreen?
The screen is a matte 15.6-inch Full HD panel. Treat it as a standard non-touch display unless the exact model you buy states otherwise.
How does it compare with newer budget laptops?
Newer budget models beat it on battery life and processor generation. The IdeaPad 3 still wins on price, the numpad and easy RAM upgrades.
What ports does it have?
USB-C, USB-A, HDMI, a headphone jack and a memory card reader. There is no optical drive and no SIM slot.
Is it heavy to carry?
It is a standard 15.6-inch laptop at about 0.8 inches thick, so it fits a backpack but is not an ultraportable.
