Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 (82K2003XFR) Specs and Details

It sports a resolutely gamer design with its black chassis with angular lines Shadow Black cooled by 2 fans, heat pipes and air outlets.

The connectivity, positioned mainly on the left, is good, composed of 1 USB-C, Wi-Fi ax modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) and Bluetooth 5.0 for wireless remote connections and communications, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect this computer to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports or 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers made up to 10 times more fast than in USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices to it.

It is possible to backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard of course which is convenient to better distinguish them in case of limited ambient light.

Thanks to its 120Hz frequency higher than the standard 60Hz, the screen enhances fluidity in games. It also lends itself very well to the display of videos and more generally of High Definition content such as videos due to its 16/9th format and its precise Full HD definition. In addition, as it adopts IPS technology, the screen has significant viewing angles, both horizontal and vertical, while its colorimetry is average, lower than that of high-end IPS panels. In any case because of its anti-reflective treatment, the screen is also more readable than a shiny slab in bright environments (eg outside).

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ACH6 (82K2003XFR) is a versatile 15-inch high-performance laptop focused on creation and gaming.

A maximum of users will be satisfied by the general performance delivered by this creator gaming laptop because it is built around a good amount of RAM of 16 GB coupled with an AMD APU (Accelerated Processing Unit) Hexa Core Cezanne processor.

Creatives will particularly appreciate this core as it guarantees faster multimedia processing than 8GB DDR4 and a Quad Core processor. The difference is particularly noticeable in RAM- and CPU-intensive areas that take advantage of multi-core, such as photo editing, video editing or 3D rendering.

Creators will also appreciate that the GeForce RTX 3050 dedicated graphics card is embedded because it accelerates processing under software exploiting GPU computing power, such as Sony Vegas or Adobe Photoshop/Premiere.

The GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing with NVIDIA Ampere architecture will also interest gamers since it is able to support many games for concessions under opus demanding graphics resources to get good gameplay.

As it happens, the GeForce RTX 3050 is automatically turned on/off in real time by NVIDIA Optimus technology, depending on the tasks performed.
Optimus prefers the Radeon Vega 7, a graphics solution integrated into the Ryzen 5 and yet much more modest because its lower power consumption promotes autonomy.
In this regard, count on about 5 hours on battery in light use.

SSD storage is silent but also less energy-consuming than a hard drive, more robust and much faster.
Concretely, the SSD ensures a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard disk, which implies in particular much faster starts/stops, processing and launches of games/software, or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.

Here we find a 512 GB SSD, capacity in line with what hard drives offer as standard. What if we need more space? One can add a second SSD or a hard drive via the free 2.5-inch slot. Or use an external storage unit. Favoring a USB-C/USB 3.0 device is then an interesting option to benefit from fast transfers.

Finally, in case of strong demands (e.g. treatments, gaming, etc.), expect a creator-oriented gaming laptop to heat up and be heard.
