Our take on the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i

The IdeaPad 3i is Lenovo's budget 15.6-inch Windows laptop, here built around an 11th-gen Core i3-1115G4 with 8GB of RAM and a 512GB NVMe SSD. The 15.6-inch FHD IPS panel is rated 300 nits with an anti-glare finish and touch support, which is brighter and more flexible than the dim 250-nit panels common on cheap 15-inch laptops. It covers the basics well: Wi-Fi 6, a USB-C port, HDMI, a card reader, a privacy shutter on the webcam and a 45Wh battery. It suits students, home office and light everyday use; the dual-core i3 and integrated UHD graphics keep it away from gaming and heavy creative work, where rivals with Ryzen 5 or Core i5 chips do better.
