Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (14 AMD, Gen 8) review – good budget daily driver with some downsides

Budget laptops are very important for every manufacturer because occasionally they are the backbone of some companies when it comes to profit. Today we are going to show you the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (14″ AMD, Gen 8) – an inexpensive machine that can be configured with efficient (and refreshed) AMD Barcelo-U chips from the 7000 series.

We have a dedicated article about the more premium sibling of this laptop – the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5 (14″ AMD, Gen 8) and we also reviewed the 16-inch iteration of the device that is sitting in front of us – the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (16″, 2023). The Slim 5 machine has a metal chassis and a bit more potent cooling while the bigger Slim 3 16″ boasts a larger body. So our not-so-pricey 14″ notebook has to prove to us that it can deal with the competition from the same brand and that it can handle the AMD Zen 3+ chips regardless of its low price.

The device can be configured with a good amount of optional features such as Wi-Fi 6, a backlit keyboard, a fingerprint reader, and a 1080p Web camera. Ergo, if you want to supercharge the laptop in terms of extras, you have to pay a bit more. Specs-wise, this gadget looks like a good deal but we’ll torture it for a few hours before making a final conclusion.

What’s in the box?

A unique phenomenon occurs in this site’s CPU tests.
Lately the same processors have achieved exactly same results in the multicore benchmarks.
Impressive!
