The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 ultrabook, with an i7 13th gen, is €200 cheaper on Amazon

What is a good ultrabook? A light, compact and durable laptop PC, which must therefore be able to accompany a nomadic worker or a student wherever they travel. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 precisely meets all these criteria, which places it among the references that we recommend, especially since it offers the added bonus of great power with its 13th gen i7. And the good news is that it currently benefits from a reduction of 200 euros.

The strong points of the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3

• A 1.37 kg laptop
• A 14-inch Full HD panel
• A 13e gen i7 combo + 16 Go of RAM + a 512 Go SSD

Initially priced at 899.99 euros, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is now offered at 699.99 euros on Amazon.

A lightweight laptop that can be forgotten in the bag

Like any good self-respecting ultraportable, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 is a very light laptop, weighing only 1.37 kg. Suffice to say that it can quickly be forgotten in your bag while you travel. Nomadic workers and students should appreciate it. And if you’re thinking that this lightness is synonymous with fragility, think again: the brand announces that its laptop is MIL-STD-810H certified, a military standard used to evaluate equipment used by the American army; a standard that ensures strong resistance to extreme conditions. The laptop should therefore resist shocks well.

And even if this IdeaPad Slim 3 is light and thin, that does not prevent it from integrating quite extensive connectivity. There are two USB-A 3.2 Gen 1 ports, a USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port, an HDMI 1.4 port, an SD card reader and a 3.5 mm jack port. Enough to add several devices if necessary.

Great power

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 also has a 14-inch Full HD screen; this ultrabook being by definition compact, we couldn’t really hope for a larger panel, but this diagonal is quite sufficient to work comfortably. In terms of performance, we can count on a ten-core Intel Core i7-13620H processor with a boost of up to 4.90 GHz and supported by 16 GB of RAM; the laptop is therefore capable of executing a large number of tasks simultaneously without losing pace. It is above all ideal for common office tasks. Due to the absence of a dedicated graphics card, we will avoid running demanding games on it.

Finally, in terms of autonomy, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 has a 47 Wh battery, which should allow it to operate for a working day before running out of power. The brand places particular emphasis on fast charging, which would allow you to gain 2 hours of battery life in 15 minutes of charging.
