With CPU performance in mind, we switch to the Cinebench R23 benchmark, a multi-core test meant to exercise all of a processor's cores and threads. Outside of the OS choice, there are no customization options for this iteration of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14. Overall, the six-core, 12-thread processor has more than enough fuel in the tank for basic internet and word processor needs, as well as moderately complex tasks, without any noticeable lag. This makes watching boxsets and movies that much more enjoyable, and documents and presentations will look extra impressive too.

Yes you can pay more for a laptop with a sharper, brighter screen, longer battery life and more powerful components, but when it comes to value for money and bang for your buck the IdeaPad 3 is difficult to better – that's why we've been happy to name it as a budget choice in our best laptops list.It's available with a better IPS display, as it gets brighter to combat glare, and its wider viewing angle makes it easier to share the screen with someone else.

The image looks noticeably darker from the sides, so you have to be close or directly in front of the screen to get the best accuracy. Converting video files is a CPU-heavy task, so we don't expect much from budget laptops on this score, as they normally use weaker processors with fewer cores. To access the internals, you have to remove ten Philips screws and pry open the panel with a pick or prying tool. However, the IdeaPad 3 has a wider port selection, longer battery life, and its AMD Ryzen 5000 CPUs perform significantly better than the AMD Ryzen 3000 processors on the Surface Laptop 3.Use Google's productivity suite of powerful collaboration tools, like Google Docs and Google Sheets. mm headphone jack and an SD card slot mean that you're pretty well covered in terms of attaching peripherals and other gadgets up to your laptop too.
