It's worth mentioning the typing experience on the Lenovo IdeaPad 3. If the kids manage to get hold of it, for example, you won't have to worry about it snapping in half. The screen hinge feels robust, the outer plastic casing feels durable, and you get the impression that this is a laptop that's going to last and last. Lenovo has been in the laptop game for a long time now of course, and that's reflected in the solid build quality and reassuring feel of the IdeaPad 3. While the 16:9 aspect ratio isn't as good as 16:10 for documents and webpages, it does work very well for video content, as we found from a quick YouTube binge. It's not available as a touchscreen, but then you wouldn't really expect it to be at this price. Whether you're browsing the web, writing up an essay, or sitting back and watching some movies from your favourite video streaming platform, the display of the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 holds up. The bezels around the display are thicker than you'll find on the very best laptops out there, and the viewing angles and maximum brightness aren't particularly top-notch, but this is a laptop that you need to judge in relation to its price – and for the money it costs we were very satisfied. The IdeaPad 3 comes with a compact 14-inch display running at a resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels, and it's a reasonably bright and crisp screen.
