Product Overview
Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 15ARH-05 is a 15.6-inch gaming laptop powered by powerful Ryzen 4000 H-series CPUs by AMD. Despite its entry-level positioning, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 is available with 120Hz FHD IPS display and NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1650 Ti graphics.
Equipped with Intelligent Cooling via Lenovo Q-Control 3.0 for performance mode switching and up to 7 hours of battery life with Rapid Charge, the stylish IdeaPad Gaming 3 features a blue backlit gaming keyboard with 1.5mm key travel and is available in two eye-catching colors, iridescent Chameleon Blue or reflective Onyx Black.
By not prioritizing portability, the IdeaPad Gaming 3 also comes with a 2.5" HDD drive bay, making it possible to have large storage space at low cost.
Alongside the AMD-powered 15ARH-5, Lenovo also introduced an Intel-powered variant of the IdeaPad Gaming 3.

Reviewer score 52% (normalized by Neofiliac), it can run everything I currently want to play at a playable frame rate, so long as I'm willing to turn down the eye candy to maintain 60fps at 1080p. The IdeaPad Gaming 3 didn't raise much of a stutter while running my loadout of work applications. The laptop started to chug when I pushed its 8GB of RAM to the limits with too many Chrome tabs and Affinity Photo projects.
Pros
- 120Hz refresh rate display
- Good battery life
- Compact design
Cons
- Poor graphics performance
- No Thunderbolt 3
