As a mostly indoor laptop, however, these drawbacks should be tolerable for users on tight Holiday budgets. Though it's not a speed demon, the Core i3 is significantly faster when it comes to multi-tasking than any Celeron or Atom alternative while the 1080p resolution will be much crisper than the ghastly 768p.īased on our experiences with the 14-inch version of the IdeaPad 3, users can expect the 15.6-inch IdeaPad 3 to have a quiet fan but with average battery life, a dark screen, and no USB-C ports.

The deal is notable because the laptop comes with a 10th gen Intel Ice Lake Core i3-1005G1 CPU and a 1080p display whereas most other laptops in this price range usually come with much slower Celeron or Atom processors and 768p displays instead. Our Holiday highlight deal today is the 15.6-inch Lenovo IdeaPad 3 for $300 USD at Best Buy down from its original price of $450. For basic at-home activities like browsing, emailing, or web streaming, a simple Core i3 laptop will do the trick. Not everyone needs to spend a grand to be happy with a laptop.
