I like the overall design of the machine, which has a glossy, brushed-metal look on top and smooth, textured plastic underneath. Alas, it's not backlit, but that would be a rare find at this price point. The 15.6-inch screen is accompanied by a full-width keyboard, one that includes a dedicated numeric keypad for spreadsheets and the like. It's spacious and comfortable to use and suitable for mainstream computing tasks: web browsing, word processing, Zoom meetings and so on. The 4-pound Ideapad 3 should appeal to a wide range of users, everyone from students to seniors. It's not perfect, but many users won't mind the issue I have with it. On the tech front, it's this: "What laptop should I buy?" If your budget is around $400, the answer is easy: Buy the Lenovo Ideapad 3, a well-equipped workstation for the money. I've been in the tech biz for a long time (I started when there was this hot new TV show called Seinfeld), and if there's one question I'm asked more than any other, it's this: "Rick, how'd you get to be so handsome and clever?" Wait, no, that's what my wife keeps asking.
