Ryzen 3 outperforming Core i3: Lenovo IdeaPad 3 15ALC6 laptop review

[Redaktion]

The IdeaPad 3 15 is a budget system that doesn't skimp on performance even when compared to a Core i7 in certain conditions. Though it feels fast for the price, the limited color space of the display and lack of some USB-C features can be disappointing.

Hello, first of all thanks for the excellent review, what I would like to ask you is if you would recommend this same laptop but with a Ryzen 7 5700U or an i5 1135g7. I found both at a very good price here in Argentina. I am concerned that the R7's performance is wasted by having a 15W TDP.

The 5700U is much faster than the outdated 1135G7 (typical x2 vs 1135G7 on 15W PL1), but the Zen2 doesn't have an AV1 decoder for YouTube if that matters to you.
