Από: Severin Kolakov 01 Μάρτιος 2023 / 19:52 0

The Lenovo V-series produces some very affordable notebooks that also manage to bring powerful hardware, so if it’s performance per dollar you’re after, you’ll rarely find a better deal. It’s got both AMD and Intel hardware, so regardless of where your allegiances lie, you can have new hardware with performance and efficiency. We found ourselves with an Intel model, sporting the Alder Lake U-series. Still, even if you’ve decided to pick an AMD model, which brings its own benefits, you can still go through the review to find out how the laptop’s other characteristics do, like the build quality, audio, and display, which remain the same.

Today we’re presenting you with LaptopMedia’s top 5 picks about the Lenovo V15 Gen 3.

4 reasons to BUY the Lenovo V15 Gen 3

1. Input devices

The keyboard comes with a full-sized layout that includes a NumPad. It lacks a backlight but offers spill resistance, so slight liquids aren’t an issue. Just keep the sugary stuff away because you don’t want to clean a sticky mess. It feels good to type on, with long key travel and clicky feedback. There is a slight problem with the latter, however, it’s rather non-uniform, as some keys feel softer than others. The touchpad is responsive and accurate, while the Mylar surface keeps it smooth and almost Glass-like.

2. Performance

We decided to splurge for the most powerful configuration available, with the Core i7-1255U, which has 10 cores and 12 threads. It generates good results in both Cinebench R23 and Photoshop, so you can do even heavier work on it.

3. Cooling

The way the V15 achieves such results is with a simple cooling setup that offers one heat pipe and one fan.

Max CPU load

Intel Core i7-1255U (15W TDP)	0:02 – 0:10 sec	0:15 – 0:30 sec	10:00 – 15:00 min
Lenovo V15 Gen 3	3.75 GHz @ 2.84 GHz @ 82°C @ 51W	2.69 GHz @ 2.02 GHz @ 76°C @ 31W	2.18 GHz @ 1.69 GHz @ 61°C @ 19W
Acer Aspire 3 (A317-54)	3.58 GHz @ 2.68 GHz @ 70°C @ 43W	3.53 GHz @ 2.47 GHz @ 74°C @ 37W	2.92 GHz @ 2.26 GHz @ 69°C @ 28W
HP EliteBook 860 G9	3.23 GHz @ 2.57 GHz @ 85°C @ 41W	3.09 GHz @ 2.46 GHz @ 86°C @ 38W	1.82 GHz @ 1.58 GHz @ 57°C @ 16W
HP 15 (15-dw4000)	3.19 GHz @ 2.42 GHz @ 69°C @ 40W	1.90 GHz @ 1.49 GHz @ 57°C @ 17W	1.91 GHz @ 1.49 GHz @ 56°C @ 17W
Lenovo ThinkPad E15 Gen 4	3.44 GHz @ 2.63 GHz @ 78°C @ 43W	2.98 GHz @ 2.24 GHz @ 75°C @ 36W	2.15 GHz @ 1.57 GHz @ 70°C @ 23W
MSI Modern 15 (B12M)	3.63 GHz @ 2.68 GHz @ 78°C @ 44W	3.63 GHz @ 2.65 GHz @ 86°C @ 44W	3.26 GHz @ 2.40 GHz @ 85°C @ 35W

In short loads, the Core i7-1255U reaches the highest clock speeds that we’ve seen from the chip. In medium and long loads, it has a more subdued approach.

Comfort during full load

This also helps it remain cool and quiet on the outside, as there’s no excessive noise coming from the fan, and the base heats up just to 42°C.

4. Upgradeability

The Lenovo V15 offers up to 8GB of soldered DDR4 memory, as well as one SODIMM slot. For storage, there’s one M.2 slot as well as a 2.5-inch drive bay for a SATA SSD.

Here is our detailed teardown video, which shows how to upgrade the laptop.

1 reason NOT to buy the Lenovo V15 Gen 3

1. Display quality

The V-series traditionally doesn’t offer very good displays, with the V15 offering either a 1080p TN panel or a 1080p IPS panel. We had the TN option, which we wouldn’t recommend to anyone. The viewing angles are narrow, while the panel only gets as high as 270 nits and has a low contrast ratio of 230:1. It also covers about 50% of the sRGB and 39% of the DCI-P3 gamut.

The color accuracy with the factory settings was horrendous, with a dE value of 12. Applying our Design and Gaming profile lowers it to 3.5, which still isn’t as low as 2.0. Here you can compare the results of the test with the stock settings (left) and with our profile applied (right).

Buy our profiles

Since our profiles are tailored for each individual display model, this article and its respective profile package are meant for Lenovo V15 Gen 3 configurations with 15.6″ BOE NT156FHM-N43 (BOE08D5) (1920 x 1080) TN.
