Chassis, connections, screen of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 16IRH10 (83K2005XFR)
Its fine and lightweight Luna Gray silver design is robust due to its compliance with the American military resistance standard MIL-STD-810H and has an elegant and discreet appearance.
In terms of connectivity, this laptop PC is well equipped with its SD card reader, its 3 USBs including 1 USB-C practical for connecting peripherals, its audio port, its Wi-Fi 6 ax and Bluetooth 5.2 wireless modules for remote connections and communications but also its HDMI video thanks to which it can easily be connected to a TV or a monitor in particular.
The Camera Privacy Shutter device is present, reassuring that privacy is respected when not using the webcam.
Thanks to its 16/10th format, higher than the classic 16/9th, the Full HD screen displays more information vertically.
In addition, it benefits from significant viewing angles, both horizontally and vertically, thanks to its IPS technology. Logically, however, at this price level, the colorimetry is average, below that provided by high-end IPS panels.
Due to its anti-reflective treatment, the screen ensures better visibility than a shiny panel in a bright environment (eg near a window).
Performance, autonomy of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 16IRH10 (83K2005XFR)
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 16IRH10 (83K2005XFR) is a thin and light laptop PC equipped with a numeric keypad and efficient in terms of processor.
Because it is driven by a Core i7-13620H, a processor which houses 10 hybrid cores as well as the Iris Xe graphics solution thanks to which you can watch HD photos and videos but also play light games.
Certainly, the Core i7-13620H adopts the old Intel architecture Raptor Lake but still proves relevant combined with 16 GB of RAM to provide very good general performance which will delight many users.
Creators in particular will appreciate that their processing runs faster with Core i7-13620H than with a classic Quad/Hexa Core, the difference being particularly notable in areas that are intensive in processor resources using multi-core (e.g. photo editing, video editing).
Precisely thanks to its great speed, the silent, energy-efficient SSD contributes to fluid and responsive processing, such as starts/stops, software launches or even arrival on online game cards, tasks that are carried out quickly.
A 512 GB SSD is integrated here, enough to install a lot of applications and files. This is a standard capacity which is also fitted to many models, including – many – more expensive ones.
However, if you need more space, you can expand it by directly integrating a second SSD into the free M.2 slot.
Or more simply by connecting an external storage device, preferably USB 3.0/USB-C type so that transfers are faster than USB 2.0.
As for the autonomy of this Ultrabook whose thinness and controlled weight make transport easier, expect around 6 hours of battery operation in light use, which may interest some looking to equip themselves with a student laptop efficient in terms of processor not requiring high autonomy.
In any case, when pushed hard (e.g. treatments), expect this laptop to heat up and make itself heard.
To contain its temperatures, we can add a ventilated support (remember to check the dimensions carefully!).
