Lenovo Ideapad 3 15 laptop, 15.6" HD touchscreen, Core i3-1115G4, 36GB DDR4, 2TB PCIe SSD

Purpose-built daily driver

This Lenovo Ideapad 3 15 serves students and office workers who need a responsive Windows 11 Pro machine for web browsing, document editing and video calls. The 11th Gen Intel Core i3-1115G4 dual-core processor reaches 4.10GHz turbo frequency for snappy application launches. A 15.6 inch HD touchscreen with 1366 x 768 resolution adds direct interaction for note-taking and quick navigation. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics handles standard display output without a discrete GPU.

Sustained workload behaviour

The dual-core CPU maintains its 3.00GHz base clock during extended typing sessions, spreadsheet work or streaming playback. Intel UHD Graphics shares the 36GB DDR4 memory pool, so heavy multitasking with many browser tabs remains fluid within the integrated graphics envelope. Thermal design keeps the chassis at 16.3 x 11.2 x 1 inches dimensions without a backlit keyboard or fingerprint reader adding extra heat sources. Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth provide stable wireless connectivity for long meetings.

Deciding specification

The 2TB PCIe SSD is the single figure that determines suitability: it stores large project libraries, offline media collections and full system images without external drives. Buyers who need more storage than two terabytes or who require a discrete graphics card for rendering or gaming should consider other configurations. The 36GB DDR4 capacity supports the integrated graphics and heavy multitasking, but the storage ceiling is fixed at 2TB.
