Qualcomm introduced Snapdragon X to be the new budget tier of laptops. So far, we’ve had the Asus Zenbook A14, which hasn’t necessarily delivered on this. But the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3x isn’t just a great cheap system — it could be one of the best laptops, period.
For $649 (launching this month), you’re getting a sleek system with plenty of ports, a chip that’s capable of keeping up with your day-to-day productivity, a decent battery capacity (to be tested fully), and a generously spacious keyboard and touchpad.
