The Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 82K20015US 15.6-inch laptop is an Amazon best seller that has received positive reviews for its incredible price tag, its snappy 120Hz display and the overall responsiveness of the machine thanks to its powerful AMD Ryzen 5600, 8GB of DDR4 RAM and 256GB M.2 PCIe SSD. Users were happy with the keyboard, its sturdy all-plastic design, and its decent selection of ports. Some were critical of its 256 GB of storage space and 8GB of RAM however, finding that both are somewhat limiting for gamers. When paired with the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 GPU, the machine delivers a somewhat under powered gaming experience. The price tag is still incredibly attractive for the given components, making this machine an absolute steal for not only gamers, but for those looking for a decently powerful machine to carry out day-to-day tasks in the office or at home.
