The display is a full high-definition 15.6" screen with a 120Hz refresh rate; it has an AMD Ryzen 5 6600H processor; and it has the mobile Nvidia GeForce RTX 3050 graphics chipset. What this means is that it'll easily be able to play the latest indie games on the market, and it still has plenty of performance horsepower to play newer games. At 1080p resolution and with the newest Nvidia drivers, you can still get a terrific visual presentation in your games without having to worry about dialing back the graphical settings too much.

Beyond the gaming hardware, the IdeaPad 3 has everything else you'll need to set it up quickly. It has built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, several USB ports, HDMI, and an audio jack, making it ideal for entertainment and content creation. The battery life should last you the standard two hours, but you can easily top this unit up in under an hour using the Rapid Charge technology within it.
