If you want something cheap, get the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (2021). Like our budget pick, it's also a 15.6-inch laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, and GPU options range from an NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 to an RTX 3060. The GTX 1650 can only push around 60 fps at 1080p, so if you want to keep the laptop for a while, it's best to get a better configuration with an RTX 3050 or 3060, as the GTX 1650 might not be able to handle newer AAA titles. There are only 1080p display options; we recommend getting the 120Hz or 165Hz panel. Again, the important thing is to spend as much of your budget on the best GPU and display as possible since you can upgrade the memory and storage yourself later on.

Though entirely plastic, this laptop feels surprisingly sturdy, especially for a model in its price range. It has a comfortable and tactile keyboard, and the webcam is pretty good if you want to stream. Its port selection includes three USBs, an HDMI, and an Ethernet port. Unfortunately, you can't charge the laptop via USB-C, so you'll have to use its proprietary charger. The fans are very loud under load, but the noise isn't annoying as it just sounds like heavy airflow.

If you're looking for a cheap gaming laptop, we recommend the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (2021). It's a 15.6-inch laptop available with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, both of which are powerful enough for AAA gaming. There are various NVIDIA dedicated GPU options, ranging from an entry-level GTX 1650 to a mid-range RTX 3060 with ray-tracing and DLSS support. The memory and storage drive are both user-upgradeable, meaning you can potentially save some money by getting a cheaper configuration first and upgrading it yourself later on. The important thing is to spend as much of your budget on a better GPU and display. Speaking of the display, you can choose between a 60Hz, 120Hz, or 165Hz panel. We recommend the 120Hz or the 165Hz option, as they'll provide a smoother and more responsive gaming experience with less screen tearing.

Although this laptop is entirely plastic, the build feels surprisingly sturdy, especially for a gaming laptop in this price range. The keyboard feels great to type on, and there's a pretty good webcam if you want to stream. Unfortunately, you'll need to carry the power adapter if you want to game on the go, as the battery lasts less than an hour when gaming. Also, it gets hot and loud under load. There's an Intel version of this laptop if you prefer to go with team blue, the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i (2021), although it doesn't have as many GPU options.

If you need something cheap to get the job done, consider the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (2021). You can configure this 15.6-inch laptop with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H or Ryzen 7 5800H CPU, both of which have enough processing power to handle video editing. There are various NVIDIA dedicated GPU options, from an entry-level GeForce GTX 1650 to a mid-range RTX 3060. You can only get up to 16GB of memory, but the RAM is user-upgradeable, meaning you can add more later on.

Again, the downside is that all the display options are only suitable for sRGB content. It also gets hot and loud under load, and the battery lasts less than an hour when performing demanding tasks, so you'll need to carry the power adapter if you want to work on the go. Overall, it isn't a particularly premium-feeling laptop, but it'll get the job done, and it's wallet-friendly.

 This is another less demanding esports title, so ultra settings is still able to hit average FPS above the screens refresh rate. While high settings was near that 120 point for the 1 % low. Rainbow. Six Siege was tested with the built in benchmark using Vulkan there’s

. I don’t think this one needs a super high frame rate to play, but the low setting preset was needed if you want an above 60 FPS experience. Shadow of the Tomb Raider was tested with the built in benchmark. Medium settings were needed to hit 60 FPS in this test, but we could surpass this by a fair bit if you’re willing to run at lower levels

 Let’s jump straight into the results from those 22 titles. Then the comparisons after. Microsoft, flight, simulator, wasn’t, great at high settings and ultra was a no go. Medium was alright, but there were less noticeable dips

 In the Nitro 5, I recently tested. Battlefield 5 was tested in campaign mode. High settings was just able to get us 60 FPS, though the 1 % low received a nice 52 % boost here. When compared to the highest ultra preset

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 (Ryzen 4600H/1650 Ti) 22 Game Test!

Bought my dream beast - Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, 120Hz , Ryzen 5 4600h, Gtx1650 for $820. Just wanted to ask you guys, how's it for the money? (couldn't get an RTX because of my location and price) How can I tune him up?

The synthetic tests above are helpful for measuring general 3D aptitude, but it's hard to beat full retail video games for judging gaming performance. Far Cry 5 and Rise of the Tomb Raider are both modern, high-fidelity titles with built-in benchmarks that illustrate how a system handles real-world gameplay at various settings. We run them at 1080p resolution at the games' medium and best image-quality settings (Normal and Ultra for Far Cry 5 under DirectX 11, Medium and Very High for Rise of the Tomb Raider under DirectX 12).

6 pounds) or the Asus ROG Zephyrus G14 (a 14-inch laptop that weighs just 3.52 pounds). Compared to other budget machines like the Dell G5 15 SE (5.5 pounds) and Acer Predator Helios 300 (5

The MSI Bravo 15, for example, is about the same price and delivers between 15fps and 19fps more in these in-game benchmarks. The MSI GL65 is about $300 less and matches the IdeaPad's performance (though I'd call the Lenovo's build superior). That makes it hard to recommend the 3i if you're primarily concerned with in-game frame rates.&nbsp;

Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3i Review

 Now Lenovo's Legion Gaming line is where you'll find all of the highest performance components and best features, but they can also top three thousand dollars with the Ideapad Gaming 3. The starting prices are more reasonable at below a thousand dollars. Past versions of this laptop line looked sort of generic gaming laptop, but you could get good components inside for the money. The display, the design, and the extra features are where things typically get knocked down to save costs, but Lenovo keeps a lot intact here

Lenovo's entry-level IdeaPad Gaming 3 laptop

 What’s more, getting to enjoy the glory of this laptop’s 120Hz refresh rate display was something I rarely got to do — and only after I made big sacrifices to visual features that I usually enjoy cranking to the max, like shadows, anti-aliasing, and post-processing. Plus, I’m not so confident about how it’ll hold up for games coming later this year, like Cyberpunk 2077 and PC versions of games made for the PS5 and Xbox Series X consoles launching later in 2020.

It’s easy to dismiss the IdeaPad Gaming 3’s faults when you consider its price, but the reality is Lenovo could have done a better job here. It’s great that it includes a powerful processor and high refresh rate display, but without a better graphics card, those benefits go to waste. Just being able to run games isn’t quite enough to recommend this as the gaming laptop to buy — even if it’s aimed at people on a strict budget. I’d either hold out for a deal on a more expensive option or consider Dell’s new $880 G5 15 SE, which features AMD’s comparable 7nm Ryzen 5 4600H processor and superior RX 5600M graphic chip

The IdeaPad Gaming 3 didn’t raise much of a stutter while running my loadout of work applications, which includes running Spotify, Affinity Photo, Slack, and anywhere from 10-20 Google Chrome tabs in perpetuity. In terms of performance, the laptop started to chug when I pushed its 8GB of RAM to the limits with too many Chrome tabs and Affinity Photo projects. Lenovo confirmed to me that both the RAM and M.2 SSD storage can be upgraded by unscrewing the bottom shell of the laptop, so at least you can remedy this issue yourself if you choose

Despite this, it can run everything I currently want to play at a playable frame rate, so long as I’m willing to turn down the eye candy to maintain 60fps at 1080p. This includes Persona 4 Golden, Risk of Rain 2, more demanding games like Control, Hunt: Showdown, and the particle effect-laden Tetris Effect.

A strong processor and fast SSD don’t make up for a weak GPU

 With the same hardware., I’ve also tested SPECviewperf, which tests out various professional 3D workloads. I’ve used Crystal disk mark to test the 256gb NVMe M.2 SSD

. Davinci Resolve is more GPU heavy, but, despite the apparent benefit of the Ti being a higher spec it’s scoring the same as the lower Nitro 5, and only just 5 points behind the TUF. With the same hardware., I’ve also tested SPECviewperf, which tests out various professional 3D workloads

 The right just has a USB 3.2 Gen1 Type-A port and air exhaust vent, so no cables getting in the way. If you’re a right handed mouse user. This tends to be more of a CPU focussed test, but it’s now a fair bit behind the TUF A15 with same specs, while the Nitro is even higher

 For updated prices check the links in the description, as prices will change over time. At the time of recording in the US, it’s actually sold out too much demand for Ryzen. I guess. Here in Australia we’re looking at $ 1400 AUD, though I picked mine up on sale for under $ 1150 AUD, which, without our taxes, is around $ 750 USD for my international friends

Would this be worth getting as an entry level gaming laptop for someone on a budget? $450 for an open-box excellent.
