Lenovo is the leading computer manufacturer that produces various lines of desktop computers, laptops, and peripherals. The IdeaPad line of devices was designed to be the consumer front for the hugely successful ThinkPad line of professional laptops. IdeaPads are more portable, thanks to lighter chassis and slimmer construction, and offer more consumer-forward features. IdeaPads sit in Lenovo’s device hierarchy between the professional ThinkPad laptops and gaming-oriented Legion devices.
This specific 2021 model of the IdeaPad 3 offers a 14" Full HD display panel with narrow side bezels. The screen is protected with an anti-glare coating. On top of the display is a 720p HD webcam that offers a physical shutter for added privacy when it is not in use. The webcam is accompanied by dual microphones for recording clearer audio. Specifications include an Intel Core i3-1005G1 processor, 4 GB of RAM, and 128 GB of fast M.2 SSD storage.
Wireless connections on the IdeaPad 3 can be made with 2x2 WiFi with support for up to 820.11 ac networks and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless audio.
