Lenovo - IdeaPad Gaming 3 15.6" FHD 120Hz Laptop - AMD Ryzen 5 5600H - NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 - 8GB Memory - 256GB SSD - Shadow Black

This is my first gaming laptop. It's very versatile as far as adding additional memory and has two usb-b and one usb-c port, perfect for an external SSD. I only have 6GB of RAM but have no issues playing games requiring up to 8GB, the graphics card is A+ but the screen resolution doesn't do it justice, good color though. This laptop is the perfect size to fit on a small table with a mouse but large enough to provide immersive game play. The best part, it's affordable while still using high quality components.

550 bucks for this laptop is beyond crazy! 6\12 CPU GTX 1060 maxq like performance upgradable ram and SSD [it's sad how that's becoming so rare thanks apple] extremely fast storage extremely fast machine, like you have no idea how fast and snappy a Ryzen 5000 make a PC feel this can basically be most people only PC the only bad things I can say about this laptop is: average screen but for 550 bucks I won't complain it's still 120hz and full hd the plastic construction doesn't feel that great but yet again it's just $550 Remember only 4 years ago we could only buy quad cores for laptops up to $5000, now for only 550 bucks you get this monster computer, I know faster things exist out there, but this laptop is more than enough for everyone except people who want to play at 4k with Max grafs, but we'll they gotta pay for that

If you are looking for a budget friendly laptop, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 is definitely the one to get. The GTX 1650 is decent for medium setting's in most modern games. I can easily get 60 FPS in Halo Infinite by adjusting the settings. The only thing I do not like about the laptop is the battery. I know this laptop has a little more power under the hood compared to more basic laptops, but the battery could be better. If i use the 'Power Saver' option in Windows, I can get about an hour and a half to maybe two hours. Overall, it is a good budget friendly gaming laptop. My two recommendations would be to upgrade the ram to a 16GB kit, and adding an second NvME for more storage.

Best Gaming laptop for the price. I could play games at a higher graphics.

This is the computer to get, especially now at the discounted price of $549 (regular price $849). It runs fast, quiet and stays cool (maybe very slightly warm) even while gaming with the graphics set to high. Other more intensive games may put more strain on the CPU, which we haven't tested yet, but this thing stays at a very reasonable temperature as compared to other Ryzen 5 laptops from other manufacturers. I tested a 14 inch laptop that was a different brand not long ago at Best Buy, and the underside was HOT to the touch while sitting idle. And yet another brand gaming laptop was also running very warm to the touch while at idle. The reason this matters to me is that AMD Ryzen CPUs tend to run warmer than Intel ones and you don't want to have to worry about the laptop running hot. You know you got a good laptop if the manufacturer figured out a way to make the laptop dissipate heat from the Ryzen CPU well, which Lenovo did with this machine. This 6-core workhorse is a steal at this price. Get it now!

Works as it should. I'd do a ram and ssd upgrade just for a little better performance. Have to keep it plugged in to plays games is the only downside

Performs like a chance to play Fortnite and other games. Only wish the battery would last longer without being plugged in. Seems to last 1 hour at best.

It was a good first gaming laptop to buy and it has a good price for a student.
