The first Lenovo IdeaPads, released in 2008, were groundbreaking laptops which quickly became popular for their wide frameless screens, facial recognition security, touch controls, and great speaker systems. They weren’t however, necessarily all that slender.
Fast-forward 17 years to the ldeaPad Slim 3, and as the name suggests, this is a seriously skinny laptop, just 0.7 inches thick. That makes it incredibly portable without sacrificing any technological heft, and Best Buy has also put the price of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Full HD Touchscreen laptop on a diet by cutting away $220, making this a great buy at just $530.
Made for Motion
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is made for working or playing on the go. The razor-thin body makes it a natural fit for any backpack or bag, and at just 3.5 pounds you’ll barely notice it’s even in there. When “on the go” means long stretches without access to a power source, the 10-hour battery life will you covered, and even a 15-minute pit stop at a charger will earn you two more hours of battery life.
Just because the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is so slender doesn’t mean it’s fragile — the Arctic Grey outer shell is military-grade rugged, so the inevitable bounces and jostling of commuting or travel won’t leave you with a bricked-out dead laptop.
And that newly micro-thin body did not require sacrificing any of the features that make the IdeaPad Slim 3 such a highly regarded laptop. That big beautiful screen that drew attention to the earliest IdeaPads is still there, except now it’s a super-responsive Full HD touchscreen. The AMD Ryzen 7 processor runs at a base speed of 2GHz and can run as high as 4.5GHz in boost mode. A healthy 512GB of built-in storage can be expanded via an SD card reader or the full-function USB-C 3.2 port. There are also two USB-A ports and an HDMI 1.4 port as well for connecting to external monitors or other parallel devices.
Work or Play Every Day
As a productivity machine, the IdeaPad Slim 3’s quick processor will let you multitask all day long, and the HD 720p camera and 2 noise-cancelling microphones make teleconferencing easy, especially when you’re connected via WiFi 6. If you’d rather play or stream, the integrated AMD Radeon Graphics card is your get out of lag jail free card.
The skinny body of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is a great selling point, but Best Buy’s deal that brings the price down from $750 to just $530 is the slimming down that interests us the most. Take all of your daily computing on the go without weighing yourself down — head to Best Buy now and check out the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 while it’s $220 off.
