Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i Review

 

Sturdy build with restrained design ; Snappy CPU performance ; Comfortable keyboard ; Good battery life ; 120Hz display ; Nice assortment of ports including Ethernet

Graphics capability below par for price ; Only 8GB of memory

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i is a solidly built, fully featured budget gaming laptop, but its price is a bit too high for its graphics performance.
