Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15 with AMD Ryzen 5 3500U CPU, 8 GB of expdandable RAM, and 1080p display is now down to $379 USD

The budget Lenovo laptop is now even more affordable than before to make it a respectable deal for shallow pockets especially if you're willing to upgrade the RAM on your own.

This is not a great deal. The IdeaPad 5 at Staples is $500 for a 4500U, double the storage, and all-around much nicer laptop (way bigger battery, USB-C, backlit keyboard, nicer built with metal lid).

The 5 doesn't have expandable memory, but keep in mind that on this 3, you get 4GB soldered and 4GB in the slot, so only max of 8GB will operate as dual-channel, and any upgrade means tossing out 4GB.

I had a brain fart, the IdeaPad 5 I mentioned has an Intel Core i5-1135G7 (Tiger Lake) not Ryzen 4500U. Can't post links, but search Staples for 82FG000RUS.

Still, much better buy than this IdeaPad 3.

NOT AN IPS SCREEN! The Wamart listing says it's IPS, but Lenovo PSREF (which I trust more than Walmart's specs) says TN.
