I am spoiled with expensive laptops to review most weeks, but that doesn’t mean I don’t love a good budget laptop when one comes along. I was hoping that it would be the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i. It’s not.
At a reasonable $699, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i offers cool thermals and a lovely blue shade on its chassis. Unfortunately, it doesn’t provide a good display or good performance. I might be a little harder on it than you would be, but no one should forgive its poor battery life. If a laptop can’t last an entire workday, it doesn’t belong in your shopping cart.
