Chassis, connectivity, screen of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17ALC6 (82KV00LNFR)
With its relatively thin and light Arctic Grey silver design despite its large 17-inch format, this laptop adopts an elegant and discreet look.
This affordable laptop offers connectivity that clearly has nothing to be ashamed of compared to many (much) more expensive models. It consists of 1 USB-C, a useful HDMI video output to easily connect it to a TV or monitor for example, Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless modules for remote connections and communications, an audio port and 2 USBs compatible with both USB 2.0 and USB 3.0, USB 3.0 ensuring transfers up to 5 times faster than USB 2.0 if you connect a USB 3.0 device.
The screen reproduces colors more faithfully than average, without of course reaching the colorimetric accuracy provided by high-end IPS or OLED.
Moreover, it will be appreciated by those who prefer the elements displayed on the screen to be large, more in any case than with a precise Full HD panel. It adopts in fact a definition of 1600×900, associated here with a 16/9 format adapted to videos.
The screen has an anti-reflective treatment making it more readable than a glossy panel in a bright environment (e.g. outdoors) and less tiring for the eyes over long periods.
Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17ALC6 (82KV00LNFR)
The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 17ALC6 (82KV00LNFR) is a relatively thin and light 17-inch laptop designed for everyday use on the go.
It benefits from a good amount of RAM of 12 GB above average. It therefore advantageously accompanies the old generation AMD Ryzen 5 5500U low-power Hexa Core Lucienne processor in which the Radeon Vega 7 graphics module is placed.
Concretely, this laptop delivers good performance in everyday use, such as office work and surfing the Internet or even for viewing photos and videos.
The heart of this laptop is well supported on a daily basis by the SSD storage which clearly reinforces the responsiveness and fluidity to ensure fast start-ups/shutdowns as well as application launches in particular.
Because an SSD is fast. It also offers other advantages: silent operation, robust design and low energy consumption.
Here we find a 512 GB SSD, as in many models (including much more expensive ones) on the market.
Good point though: Lenovo offers a free 2.5-inch slot to integrate a second SSD or hard drive if necessary, which makes the storage scalable.
Of course, if you need more space, you can also opt for an easier solution: connect the laptop to an external storage unit. You will preferably choose a USB 3.0/USB-C device to benefit from fast transfers.
As for autonomy, expect about 6 hours of battery life in light use. Certainly not the most portable due to its large size, this model nevertheless adopts a contained weight and a finesse allowing it to be transported regularly without too much difficulty. Some in search of a student laptop 17 inches that do not need a lot of battery life may therefore be of interest.
