Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 10th Gen Intel Core i3 15.6 inches Full HD Thin and Light Business Laptop (8GB/1TB HDD/Windows 10/Platinum Grey/1.85Kg), 81WE00Q5IN

It is a slim laptop with best features as given in product page. Lightweight, fast, premium finish. Best in class and value for money for the price. Review after around 4 weeks use. Genuine MS Home edition and MS office 2019 is the main reason I bought it and am satisfied with it.

Got this for a supposed "sale", but frankly don't know the actual MRP. The printed label price on the box is around Rs. 56K, which I don't believe for a moment. Anyways, let's not get carried away by the discounts. I paid Rs. 36,990 for this laptop, and for that price point, I see a lot of positives, the most important of which for me are the the full HD display and the 8 GB RAM. The downside is that this is an i3 powered laptop, whereas I was looking for an i5. In the 14-inch display category, this one has more features for the price point. Positives: * Lightweight * Camera privacy shutter * 8 GB RAM * Full HD display * Microsoft Office (Home and Student edition) Negatives: * 250 GB SSD: seriously who has only 256 GB, I would go with the model that has a 1 TB magnetic disk + a 256 GB SSD. For now, I will make do with an external disk. BTW, the actual usable free space comes to around 216 GB. * Plasticky build: I use an HP Elitebook at work, and the metallic feel of the premium laptops is way better than the plasticky build of this laptop * Got nothing other than the power adapter and the laptop. The power adapter is a bulky one. Not sure if I got conned there. * As noted by other reviewers, the webcam quality is very low (almost like they were during early 2000s). But, for the price point and the full HD, I am willing to live with this. As some other reviews mentioned, it is a good laptop for home use (especially for kids attending online classes or for kids interested in beginner programming use).

Performance - Booting up time- max 4 seconds. Excel , word opens completely in 2 seconds. Base speed is 1.19 GHz but it is extremely fast + 8GB RAM + 256 GB SSD . Visual Studio code opens up in 2 seconds . Pycharm opens up in 4-5 seconds. This configuration is good enough for programmers . Camera - Not even started . No need for camera for me . There is a slider which will keep the camera off . No need to use the brown tape for Camera. Battery - Decent , can last 3 to 4 hours once fully charged. Screen - Screen is bit different , white doesn't look white it's bit yellowish but it looks really cool. Speakers - Decent sound . Not that good and not that bad. Only one issue for me - USB slot is not given on right side .

pros : On time delivery, neat preinstalled OS and Office, thanks to cortana for step by step instructions and activation, no glitches, just have some patience Gen 10 + 8GB + 256GB SSD is a great combination for 36K boots up in <5secs, even ppt, excel, browser operations are fast enough for home use. Rich and premium look, i bought grey one light weight cons Camera could have been better, but remember this is for home use. Same with audio, manageable, not bad like others mentioned slippery surface, but thatz the feature which adds rich look, need some extra care. keyboard is very soft - pro or con ? better have external kb + mouse All ports are on the left side

Buying this device on prime day was the best deal with 1.5k additional card discount. Pros- light weight (1.6kg), fast booting time as the device is powered by i310 gen processor with 8GB RAM & 256 GB SSD... Display is average with FHD screen Cons- camera quality is poor, sound is below average and battery backup is about 4 hours Definitely a good device at its price and features Specially if you are looking for something for professional work or kids online classes (- gaming)

Update after 1 year: Further body deterioration. Hinge socket came out and screen frame damaged further agraved. Check attached pics. 100% regret buying Lenovo. Update after 8 months usages: Screen is coming out from its panel . Cheap plastic used in construction. Customer service not helpful saying it's an accident damage and stopped responding to my emails. Atttached pics. --------------- Best option for daily usage n if you r looking for something for kids online classes. 10th Gen i3+8GB Ram+256 GB SSD makes it real quick in operation. Build quality is average.Need to be handled carefully. Hinges n screen fitting seems fragile. Screen quality could have been better as it appears washed out. Speaker is ok.Camera is fine enough for classes n meeting. Bought it for 33k during prime days. Nothing can beat it at this price point.

Received the product yesterday, and here's a brief and honest review of the product. Positives: 1. As expected from a 10th gen i3 with 8GB and SSD combo, boot-up time and performance is a breeze. 2. Set-up is not painstaking, thank Cortana and Win10 for that. MS Office is bundled, and gets activated shortly after Windows activation (don't rush). 3. Sound quality was poor, but improved after updates and installation of Dolby software (yes, it will come along with the updates, and I have installed any custom app yet) 4. Keyboard is responsive with light touch keys. No backlit, but they didn't say it will have :-) 5. Thin and lightweight as advertised, and has a decent airbrush finish on top. Negatives: 1. The build quality left me highly unimpressed. Looks very fragile with plastic body that one can feel when you gently press the top or the body. 2. Next huge disappointment is the webcam quality (0.3 MP). Primary use for me is video-conf, so this is a severe let down (and sad that I cannot return it now) 3. Sound quality with the improvement due to updates still leaves me wanting for more. Final verdict: If you need the laptop for video calls, stay away! Other than that, value for money for the performance, but there are good alternates in slightly higher price bucket. Overall, for 35K an i3 with 8GB/ SSD combo is a good deal if you can live with the not so great webcam.

This should be the best deal I would have got at this price range. My need is connection to office network, internet surfing and basic domestic operations. The laptop is a perfect choice. It is extensively light weight. Even lighter than my other 14 inch laptop. Glad to have purchased it since over a month already.
