Is the Lenovo V15 G4 good for students?

Yes for essays, research and online classes. It is not the pick for design work or gaming, where the dim screen and integrated graphics hold it back.

Can the RAM and storage be upgraded?

The SSD can be swapped for a larger drive, and memory is expandable on models with a free slot. Check the specific configuration before buying.

Does it have a backlit keyboard?

Most V15 G4 configurations do not. Plan on touch typing in dim rooms or add a small USB light.

How does it compare with the IdeaPad 3?

The V15 G4 is the plainer business line: similar internals, more ports and a lower-grade screen. The IdeaPad 3 generally has a better display and slightly nicer finish.

Is the webcam good enough for meetings?

It is adequate in good light and has a physical shutter. For regular calls, an external webcam gives sharper video.

What ports does it have?

It offers USB-C, USB-A, HDMI and a headphone jack, plus an SD card reader on some models, so most accessories connect without an adapter.

What reviewers say

Owners treat the V15 G4 as a solid value office laptop: fast enough for everyday tasks, easy to set up and roomy on storage. Complaints center on the dull screen, short battery life and the plasticky feel.

What people mention

PerformancePraisedOwners say the Core i3 with 16GB RAM handles browsing, Office files and video calls without stutter.
DisplayCriticisedReviewers call the panel dim with narrow viewing angles, fine for documents but poor for photos and video.
BatteryCriticisedUsers report it needs a charge during a working day, well short of all-day claims.
BuildMixedThe plastic body is light and fine on a desk, but owners notice flex and creaks when carried.
StoragePraisedThe 512GB SSD is seen as generous at this level, with fast startup and room for files.
SoundCriticisedSpeakers are described as thin and quiet, so headphones are needed for music and films.
