Additionally, this is the t5-inch non-touch display, however, depending on which region you're located in, D which ream killer do you buy from it? Also has a touchscreen variant as well. In today's video, we're going to do a detailed breakdown to see if the Lenovo IdeaPad 3i and keeping its own is one of the best values for productivity laptops or if they're getting a little rusty at their gathered might mig better options.

 It's always if you enjoyed your view, make sure you hit that like button and sub to our Channel. Let's get started. As far as the unboxing goes. The Nova ring doesn't care much about their packaging experience with physically me. 

You get a staggered. Looking la ate cardboard box with the word novel, literally written on it. Now, once you open the box inside, of course, the first item you will find is the IdeaPad 3i itself, which one first impression looks very similar to last year's model, but more on that in a quick minute. You also have a standard, 660-55charging adapter. 

Unfortunately, it's still using that proprietary pin so no USBC charging on the box. But if ashamed are you also finally having the Standard wall outlet charging cable piece.?And that's pretty much everything of relevance. As I mentioned earlier, the idea of having three eyes looks very similar to its 2021 predecessor. In terms of design, you have a majority plastic build with some premium metallic finishes but overall this is still very much a reserved and conservative design. We've seen from Noble traditionally speaking. Now, this laptop does have a relatively healthy weight of three point eight pounds, making it slightly heavier than the average, 115-inch laptop. But in all fairness, it's the bulky body. 

This ministry, look bad in my commission, how they professional appeal to it. Now, starting with the top side of the device, like I mentioned you have this rice premium metallic finish. That doesn't have any particular texture to it. It just looks nice and subtle. You'll also notice you have the classic Lenovo badging towards the bottom, right?

 All of this time, you have a more chrome reflective surface rather than plain old marijuana. As you make your way to the side of the laptop. You're going to be quite disappointed by the fact that I hope. Poor quality and standards. Haven't improved on this latest generation of the laptop. So you have the DC charging port past that you have a USB, a superspeed port. You have an HDMI 1.4 bort. You have a USB C Port. Unfortunately, it's not done durable for just plain the whole USBC Port, quite disappointing. You also have a good old headphone jack. Now, on the other side, you have one more USB portioned you do have interest in me enough a 

Sighs SD card reader. While there are enough ports that these diners are quite dated and would be usually found on laptops that are often two or even three years old, at this point  The bottom of the laptop is pretty standard stuff. So you do have a hard plastic finish. You'll also notice you have nice long hair and take fat from cold air to enter. And on either bottom corner, you do have a speaker Grill, indicating, this is a bottom-firing dual speaker setup. As soon as you unfold his laptop you didn't immediately appreciate your sharing. Mount upon rest area, a little over eyes for you to comfortably, rest your hands but you're also mine baffled at the fact that for some reason Lenovo is unable to tell where the center of the devices because that trackpad is way too elect good, which continues to be a problem with so many devices. Now, the good news, of course, is that the trackpad itself is quite different in terms of its quality. So basically you do have a plastic surface finish 

The clicks are surprisingly tactile. It's very responsive. Miles better than what a lot of the competition offers in this price range, the keyboard on the IdeaPad three, I could continue to be a class act on the surface area on each key. For the most part, you'll also appreciate the fact that the typing experience here is an absolute joy. Every keystroke feels tactile yet nibbles the home time. It's one of the few kkeybokeyboardsforg is aun. On top of that y, you do have does inclusion of a full-sized keypad for you. 

You folks out there and of course this is a fully backlit keyboard and it does include a built-in fingerprint scanner which doubles as the power button. The image quality is decent on this device but you still do have a fair bit of wobble. When you're a key is the device thankfully. The hinge mechanism is quite secure, which means it should last for many years to come. Now, display fitting is pretty standard. You have a rerelativettention at the bottom. You'll also notice, you have nice and thin bezels, Are narrow and you look more or less in line with 20the 22 standards you have a pretty thin forehead at the top which does u, unfortunatincludelude now, severely outdated. 720p webcam all the competition has moved out of noble contagious. Chief out here a little bit and let's just be honest, it looks less than ideal for anything other than some meetings in terms of display, a little went down to standard budget, laptop route, basically meeting, you get a standard full HD or 1920 by 1080p display. 

Are a 1515-inch screen thanks than panel and a  hertzthehe refresh rate,  and viewing angles are pretty decent as well. Now one thing I will tell you is that because it's a non-touch bearing, you have a screen. If you got the touch screen, it would have a glossy finish.

Dx11 enabled, of course, is not a gaming machine by any standard, so you're not going to run cyberpunk on here in The Thermals department at the 3i is pretty impressive. So under unrealistic Peak loads, it can hit an average surface temperature of just about 44 degrees Celsius, but more realistic sustain, those will yield you about 38 degrees.
