The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is a 15.3-inch cheap laptop that ships with just 8GB of RAM in the configuration we evaluated. There are always trade-offs associated with low-cost laptops, but Lenovo made the incorrect ones in this case. Neither pricing makes sense at a “estimated value” of $699—$479 was on sale as I was finishing this evaluation. This device has a poor display, a plastic chassis, and an outdated CPU. Those are standard drawbacks on a budget laptop. But…

At least that is the marketing for the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i 2-in-1, a 16-inch 2-in-1 PC with a focus on affordability. You can read on it like a tablet, watch Netflix in bed, and perform other tablet-like functions thanks to its touchscreen and 360-degree hinge. If it’s on sale, the price is comparable to that of a typical clamshell laptop. The price narrative is disorganized. At the current sale price of $649, this laptop is OK; nevertheless, Lenovo’s suggested retail…

Despite only $800, this laptop was something of a low-end model in 2023. However, with a roughly $300 reduction, it appears to be a far better…

The Acer Predator X34 X0 is a new, reasonably priced Mini-LED choice for anyone who wants a very brilliant HDR and a low-glare display on a budget, yet Mini-LED still offers advantages. Specs and Features The dimensions and resolution…
