Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 (82K1012TFR) Specs and Details

With its black design with angular Shadow Black lines, it sports a gamer appearance.

This versatile laptop oriented player and creative is equipped with a good connectivity including 1 USB-C, Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi ax modules (newer and more powerful than Wi-Fi ac) to communicate and connect remotely wirelessly, a convenient HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, Ethernet and audio ports as well as 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you plug in USB 3.0 devices.

We can obviously backlight the keys of the chiclet keyboard to better discern them in low light atmosphere.

The screen has significant vertical and horizontal viewing angles thanks to its IPS technology, however not high-end since here the colorimetry is classic. In any case with its Full HD definition and its 16/9th format, the screen lends itself well to the display of High Definition content such as videos. In addition, the screen is anti-reflective and thus offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outside) than a shiny slab.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15IHU6 (82K1012TFR) is a versatile 15-inch performance laptop focused on creation and gaming.

Whether with the Iris Xe graphics solution integrated into the processor or the dedicated GeForce RTX 3050 card, you can watch photos and videos but also play modest titles on this laptop designed to play and create with NVIDIA Optimus technology.

In practice, Optimus automatically switches between the Iris Xe and geForce RTX 3050 in real time, as needed.
The Iris Xe is preferred as much as possible by Optimus despite its much more modest performance because it consumes little energy which promotes autonomy compared to the GeForce RTX 3050, more powerful and greedy.

Thanks to the GeForce RTX 3050 ray tracing NVIDIA Ampere, you can indulge in many games for concessions under the opus greedy graphics resources to enjoy a good gameplay.

In addition, the embedded GeForce RTX 3050 accelerates processing under software that takes advantage of GPU computing power, such as Adobe Photoshop/Premiere or Sony Vegas, which will interest creatives.

The Iris Xe is directly integrated into the Quad Core i5-11300H, an Intel Tiger Lake-H processor that delivers solid overall performance and ensures faster processing than a low-power Quad Core under CPU-intensive work using multi-core (e.g. video conversion, photo editing).
It is here paired with a standard 8GB amount of RAM at this price point.

Good news, scalability is required since you can add a strip of RAM on the free slot to be more comfortable in multitasking in particular, or insert a hard disk or SSD via the free 2.5-inch slot. In the latter case if you lack space, you can obviously rely on an external storage unit such as a USB-C/ USB 3.0 device to get fast transfers.

Basic a 512 GB SSD is integrated, capacity in line with the standard of hard drives. Compared to the latter, however, an SSD offers several advantages: greater robustness, lower power consumption, silence of operation or even greater velocity.

Concretely, the SSD guarantees a much better responsiveness and fluidity on a daily basis than a simple hard disk. Thanks to the SSD, starts/stops are much faster, especially as are the processing and launches of software/games, and we reach the maps of online games faster.

As for the autonomy, bet on about 7 hours of operation on battery in light use for this versatile laptop designed to create and play that heats up and is heard when it is strongly pushed (eg games, treatments).
