Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i

Strengths

You always get one nice thing on the laptop but not all the nice things that you get on a more expensive one so for this one the nice thing is the touch panel here it looks very very nice for a lowcost device
The performance isn't bad here either although again we're struggling a bit with only 8 gabt of ram when we've got higher end tasks that we might want to do on it
It's one of those typical trade-offs you have to consider when you are shopping for a lowcost laptop
If you were looking to run an alternative operating system this might be something to consider for that especially given its price point
