How are the viewing angles on this? I have a 7th gen i series and it is terrible to the point that the color is shifted when on my lap and other people can't see the screen when off to the side but my wife has a 8th gen and it looks a lot more clear and has way better viewing angles
We bought one to send to an employee in Kenya. It was fine editing Adobe Premiere 4k video. Very pleased with the price from B7H, $300 US. I wish I'd loaded Resolve on here too.
Thanks for this review. This device was on sale and I was considering a purchase. Your review shed light on the gen 1 USB C ports and the poor display colours and brightness, and its important for a machine to get this right for me so I'm passing on this one. Thank you!
On my old Lenovo G50-30 (2013) you just have to remove 3 screws so you can remove the back plastic and acces the RAM and HDD/SSD. Battery can also be easily removed without removing the back plastic. I don't know why they don't make them like that (user-friendly) anymore.
Here ram is soldered to motherboard and only one ram you can change normal. This is not for gaming then i dont care. Media works only one i can change is better speakers.
@@tirklus So for mine, I have the i5 version, it’s good for Roblox yes, but expect a few web download issues (that may be for all laptops, don’t know.) It works quite well, a bit of minor lag and you’ll need to crank your graphics…DOWN. I used the Xbox version for a good bit, but there isn’t a shift lock on that one or the Microsoft store version. Anymore questions and I’ll help!
@@kzilla3 gosh I wish I could weigh in but I am the furthest thing from a gamer. Maybe post your question in the main chat, so the channel and other folks can see it! I’m sure you’ll get the answer you need.
I just got one exactly like that except 512 GB, instead of a TB. I think it's exactly like the one reviewed here, except with a better onboard graphics processor. I was hoping to get one with a Radeon 760m but the guy at the computer shop was adamant about the CPU with this one being better, so I thought of future-proofing, even with this "budget" laptop
Your videos are very well made, they helped a lot, thanks! PS: Which would you suggest Lenovo IdeaPad i5 12th gen OR Dell Inspiron 5430 i5 13th gen, for lawyers?
Honestly I would pick the IdeaPad 5i if typing is something you do a lot (assuming you do as a lawyer). The keyboards on the Lenovo are just in a league of their own. Though I do find the general build quality of the 5430 to be better plus you get 13th gen hardware.
3:35 BTW fortunately officially that USB type C port has Power Delivery feature (starting even from previous Gen 7 version of this model) and that's what I really need from every contemporary budget 14-inch laptop. (I prefer smaller 14-inch version of this model over 15-inch version)
Hello, which one's better? This or Acer Aspire 5 or Hp i5? I don't know much about laptops since I haven't got a laptop ever since but I'm looking for a laptop that could LAST for a very long time as we only have a very limited budget and we won't be able to replace it in the following years. I'm also into gaming so which one is better and can handle casual gaming and light video editing? I hope someone can answer me. Thank u so much!
This is the reason why i still keep buying older and refurbished ThinkPads. Consumer Notebooks are such a low quality over the last 5-8 years its so frustrating to watch.
is the RAM in this laptop upgradable? i just ordered one with 8gb soldered and wanted to know if theres another slot that i could upgrade further down the line
Hi! Question. I have the Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3 and it has a backlight keyboard but for some reason I cannot adjust its brightness, it only has on and off (dim and off) options. Is this normal? But the laptop im using from our company office (same unit and brand) you can adjust its brightness (dim, high and off).
the same problem. I have ideapad slim 3 with i3 N305 processor. Even in this video, you can see that the keyboard has only one level of brightness. On the other hand, when turning on the laptop, the keyboard shines with stronger lighting, which means that the hardware itself supports stronger lighting, but the problem is in the software. I hope that Lenovo will solve this problem.
@@МаркоМатић I so agree with you! I actually tried calling the Lenovo Premium Support here in the Philippines about this issue but all they said was it only supports one type of keyboard light (it cannot be adjusted because it was according to the "specs" of the laptop) but honestly I doubt it because if it only supports one type of light, then how come whenever we reboot it or turn it on, its showing us maximum brightness. Really frustrating.

Hi @SoulOfTech, The company website shows that it has 1 x Type-C 3.2 Gen 1 (full function) port. I suppose this means that it can charge and give display connectivity through it. I have a Dell docking station with Type-C wire, it would be really helpful if you could please confirm if this laptop will work with my docking station? Thanks.
It depends on the price to specs you get honestly. None of them are bad. But if I had to pick blindly off the model I personally would get the Dell Inspiron 15.
