About this laptop
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 is one of the most budget-friendly laptops available in Pakistan. Powered by the AMD Ryzen 3 3250U processor with 2 cores and 4 threads, it handles basic computing tasks like web browsing, Office applications, video streaming, and online classes without breaking the bank.
The 15.6-inch HD display (1366x768) provides a large screen for productivity and entertainment. While the resolution is entry-level, the anti-glare coating reduces reflections for comfortable use. The full-sized keyboard includes a numeric keypad for data entry.
With a 256GB SSD for storage, the IdeaPad 3 boots quickly and applications load responsively — a significant improvement over older laptops with mechanical hard drives. The 4GB DDR4 RAM is sufficient for basic multitasking, though upgrading to 8GB is recommended for smoother performance.
