Three further benchmarks focus on the CPU, using all available cores and threads, to rate a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. Maxon's Cinebench R23 uses that company's Cinema 4D engine to render a complex scene, while Primate Labs' Geekbench 5.4 Pro simulates popular apps ranging from PDF rendering and speech recognition to machine learning. Finally, we use the open-source video transcoder HandBrake 1.4 to convert a 12-minute video clip from 4K to 1080p resolution (lower times are better). Battery:These systems do not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorized. Systems will continue to boot, but may not charge unauthorized batteries. Attention: Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorized batteries, and provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use. Battery life (and recharge times) will vary based on many factors, including system settings and usage.

Then I shrunk the windows partition to make room to install Linux. I use Fedora, but any modern Linux should work. No surprises. Hardware drivers were all in the default repos. (The machine has an Intel WiFi 6 card and Realtek audio.) Limits:Limit 5 per customer. Offers valid from Lenovo in the US only. Lenovo may increase or decrease these limits, from time to time, for certain offerings.UL's PCMark 10 is our main benchmark, which simulates a variety of real-world productivity and content-creation workflows to measure overall performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheeting, web browsing, and videoconferencing. We also run PCMark 10's Full System Drive test to assess the load time and throughput of a laptop's storage. Mine has Windows 11 Home in it in S-Mode. In the box are instructions to get it into normal Windows mode. There is a setting in the bios to make them function keys work normally (out of the box you need to press FN-F1 to get F1, etc. Otherwise you get the multimedia shortcut (volume mute in this example). Lenovo has launched a new budget notebook in the Nepali market – the IdeaPad 3 15 2021. So, let’s walk through the specs, features, availability, and official price of Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 2021 in Nepal. Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 2021 Overview: Design and Display

Our IdeaPad 3 review unit came running a 10th-gen Intel Core i3-1005G1 processor – by no means the latest or greatest Intel chipset, but definitely enough to get you through some everyday computing tasks. The integrated Intel UHD Graphics G1 setup means that gaming and other graphically intense tasks are beyond the laptop (think high-end image and video editing), but for most tasks that most of us do with a computer it's perfectly fine. Next is Maxon's CPU-crunching Cinebench R15 test, which is fully threaded to make use of all available processor cores and threads. Cinebench stresses the CPU rather than the GPU to render a complex image. The result is a proprietary score indicating a PC's suitability for processor-intensive workloads. We test Windows PCs' graphics with two DirectX 12 gaming simulations from UL's 3DMark, Night Raid (more modest, suitable for laptops with integrated graphics) and Time Spy (more demanding, suitable for gaming rigs with discrete GPUs). Faulty/defective products after 14 days. (excluding all plasma LCD & LED televisions larger than 32-inch as well as all large appliances) Over on the memory, it is available with 8GB DDR4-3200 RAM and 256GB M.2 NVMe SSD storage. Fueling the device is a 42Whr battery. Rest of the specsTo boot from a USB, hold F12 when booting and select your USB device from the text menu. To enter the bios, press F2 (or possibly DEL) when booting. Deliveries will generally be made within the timeframe of the selected delivery type after collection from point of dispatch and between major centers from Monday to Fridays. After initial setup and the million Windows updates to install, I used the Lenovo assistant app to update the system bios. For whatever reason, bios update aren't available through the normal Windows Update mechanism. I'm replacing a heavy, 9yr-old, flakey 17" HP, 900p. So I'm thrilled with how much lighter, cooler, and quieter this Lenovo is. PCMark 10 and 8 are holistic performance suites developed by the PC benchmark specialists at UL. The PCMark 10 test we run simulates different real-world productivity and content-creation workflows. We use it to assess overall system performance for office-centric tasks such as word processing, spreadsheet work, web browsing, and videoconferencing. PCMark 8, meanwhile, has a storage subtest that we use to assess the speed of the system's boot drive. Both yield a proprietary numeric score; higher numbers are better.
