Good little field laptop. Definitely rugged and I need that when I am in network closet. Not always safe for a laptop and I am pretty hard on them.

It takes a lickin

Had this for a while, it got what it needed to do done,

It's alright

Very nice, handles most games, lots of storage, not problems with most large games.

Affordable gaming laptop

The specs are not good enough to be a gaming computer and the keyboard is bad. The battery can barely last 3 hour on battery saver. Overall it is fine but not worth the price

Bad Keyboard and Battery

I really like how the keyboard is set up. The screen is a little wobbly though... not too bad...customer service is really good. ??

Love their customer service ??

Amazing laptop! Great mix of work and gaming features. Although, a better graphics card with more RAM would be nice.

Nice Laptop

Compre esta laptop para usarla en mi trabajo y me ha dado buenos resultados, le adicione una memoria de 8GB mas y un m.2 de 1TB sin problema y ahora tiene mucha mas fluidez. Definitivamente es un equipo que recomendaria que lo compren si piensan utilizarlo para trabajar con programas de diseño. Conforme con la compra.

Excelente Laptop por poco precio

This laptop has a great CPU and very good video card. I am most satisfied with its cooling performance, which is efficient and quiet. I upgraded its memory, SSD and OS myself. So far, very satisfied.

Satisfied

First one crashed within 10 minutes, was able to have a new one sent out and have not had any issues with this one so far.

second time was the charm

There was a lot to like about the machine itself. The specs and price point were awesome. However, there has been an issue with the screen blacking out intermittently. The customer service has been lack luster from that point on. After opening a case, and several unsuccessful calls, I am finally going to ship it back for repair. Customer service sneakily tried to charge me for an upgraded warranty.

Could be great, if they fix it...

Very slick system at an affordable price. Shipment was prompt.

Affordable high quality laptop

overall very good! I added 16 G ram and 1T M.2 ssd immediately. Now its very fast and can do everything.

Great potential!

Very happy with my purchase, a great budget gaming laptop!

Excellent budget gaming laptop!

This laptop is very nice and handy for me. I love it

Awesome laptop

Specs on the site did not match what I got.  According to the website, the laptop was compatible with a docking station.  When I got both, found out it was incompatible, even though it was advertised to be.  Returned both, and purchased a different brand of laptop.  Between the docking station issue, and the lack of customer service, I will never purchase a Lenovo product again.

Unhappy

This laptop was exactly what our Special Ed. teachers needed. Lot's of power. Great graphics and fast service from Lenovo!

Fantastic laptop!

Have been enjoying using this laptop. the 256Gb SSD was quick, but I quickly ran out of storage. No big deal to get a 1TB M.2 SSD installed in the secondary slot though. Will be upgrading RAM soon. 
Most games I play on it run anywhere from 60 (AC Syndicate) to 120+ FPS (R6S, Warframe, NFS:Heat) on high settings. 
The 3050Ti works well enough, despite the 4GB of VRAM. The GPU rarely tops 60c even under heavy usage. 
CPU cores rarely top 60c. The fans cool everything very well and look good doing it. 

4 stars because:
RAM limited to 16Gb maximum. 16 is enough for me, but the option for 32 would be nice.
could use some more side USB ports.
Would be nice to have some aluminum casing, but the plastic is sturdy, and keeps the cost down.
Keyboard backlight sometimes flickers when asleep with lid open.

Solid, Fast Laptop - Easy to upgrade

Entry Level Gaming Laptop. We use it for Office Application and Browsing.

Entry Level Gaming Laptop

The battery life is terrible. Even with light browsing, the battery doesn't last more than 2 hrs.

Battery

GREAT i love this laptop and it is very powerful my only complaint is the battery life

Great product with little cons

Trying to find a quality gaming laptop for under $1000 can be quiet a challenge but I have to say the IdeaPad Gaming 3i does a great job. I haven?t had any issues playing highly taxing games like Overwatch, Skyrim, GTA 5, and Valorant.

Great Cost Effective Gaming Laptop

Excelente desempeño  ,relación precio calidad.      Liviana

I bought two, one for my wife and one for me. Great price and very powerful laptop. Has options to upgrade internal parts which is a plus. Runs games on ultra with no problem at all. Ordered from the Lenovo website and it arrived the very next day! Would definitely recommend again.

IdeaPad Gaming 3i

i was looking for a decently priced laptop with dedicated graphic card. this laptop certainly met my criteria and i am loving it !

good laptop for the price

The laptops are absolutely wonderful! Great gaming laptops!

Great purchase!

My daughter loves it! Now all three of my children have Lenovo gaming laptops??

Lenovo gaming laptops!

I really like the laptop itself but it's lack of adequate storage is a problem. If you purchase this laptop, you WILL HAVE TO PURCHASE A LARGER SSD to have the capacity you'll need.

SSD capacity is horribly insufficient

Very solid hardware, can run games well, does not overheat. Downsides are that the screen's maximum brightness is not as high which can be a bit dim, and as you would imagine due to being a gaming laptop the battery life isn't super long. However, for its compact size it's a great device.

Great First Gaming Laptop

Great laptop, fast and stable,use it for work and browsing

Nice laptop

The idea pad is faster than my other previous Lenovo products. I like the way it loads my programs. I like the design of the keyboard. Windows 11 took a few days to get used to it. As an example, it was not obvious how to turn the product off.
