Lenovo IdeaPad 3 81WR000AUS Laptop Review

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 81WR000AUS has a 15.6-inch display with a resolution of 1366×768 pixels which is fairly bright and sharp. The bezels surrounding the display are larger than on the very finest laptops available, and the viewing angles and maximum brightness aren’t especially impressive, but this is a laptop that has to be judged in proportion to its budget – and for the money it costs, we were quite pleased.

Whether you’re surfing the web, writing an essay, or kicking back and watching movies from your favorite video streaming platform, the Lenovo IdeaPad 3’s display is up to the task.

Of course, Lenovo has been in the laptop business for a long time, and this is evident in the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 81WR000AUS strong build quality and comforting feel. The screen hinge is sturdy, and the exterior plastic shell is tough, giving the sense that this is a laptop that will last forever. You won’t have to worry about it breaking in two if the kids get a hold of it, for example.
