Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IAH8 (83ER003LFR) chassis, connectors, display
With its thin Arctic Grey design and lightweight light silver rugged due to compliance with the US military resistance standard MIL-STD-810H, this versatile laptop sports a sleek and discreet look.
This Ultrabook offers good connectivity with its 2 USB-C, its Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.1 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, its practical HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, its audio port without forgetting its 2 USB 3.0 (USB 2.0 compatible) guaranteeing transfers up to 10 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect USB 3.0 devices.
The chiclet keyboard can not be backlit which some will undoubtedly regret as well as the fact that the screen is TN and not IPS which would have given it important viewing angles. In any case, thanks to 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, as it is anti-reflective, the screen offers better visibility in bright environments (e.g. outdoors) than a glossy slab.
Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IAH8 (83ER003LFR) performance, battery life
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IAH8 (83ER003LFR) is a versatile 15-inch laptop with processor performance.
It is based on a hybrid processor Intel Alder Lake-H Core i5-12450H hosting the Iris Xe and coupled with a good amount of RAM of 16 GB.
This core delivers solid overall performance to satisfy a wide range of users, including watching photos and videos or even playing modest games.
Or to perform modest multimedia processing using multi-core and RAM, such as photo editing or video editing.
On the storage side, there is an SSD that rivals the standard of hard drives in terms of capacity with its 512 GB while being more robust, quiet, less energy-consuming and much faster.
In practice thanks to the SSD we benefit from starts/stops, processing and launching of applications faster than with a hard disk or a faster arrival on the cards of online games.
In general, the SSD guarantees a much better fluidity and responsiveness on a daily basis than a simple hard drive.
Of course in case we need additional space we can call on an external storage unit. Choosing a USB 3.0/USB-C device is then an advantageous solution to obtain fast transfers.
We also have the possibility to add a second SSD via the free M.2 slot.
As for the autonomy of this versatile Ultrabook whose lightness and thinness facilitate transport, bet on about 6 hours of operation on battery in light use. In any case, expect this versatile mobile computer to heat up somewhat and be heard when it is strongly pushed (e.g. treatments).
