Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook 15.6"

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook 15.6″ is classified as a Chromebook and carries a weight of 1,580 g with physical dimensions of 362 mm wide, 243 mm deep, and 18 mm thin, giving it a total volume of approximately 1,583 cm³. It does not feature a fanless design or a backlit keyboard, and it lacks weather sealing and a rugged build, meaning it is intended for standard indoor use. The device comes with a one-year warranty.

The display on this Chromebook measures 15.6″ and delivers a Full HD resolution of 1920 x 1080 pixels at a pixel density of 141 ppi, using an LCD, LED-backlit panel. It includes anti-reflection coating to reduce glare, though it does not support touch input. The GPU is capable of driving up to three displays simultaneously.

This Chromebook is powered by a quad-core processor running at 4 x 1.1 GHz with a turbo frequency of 3.3 GHz, supporting 4 threads and multithreading across a 10 nm architecture. It comes with 8GB of DDR4 RAM at 2,933 MHz, expandable up to 16GB, though it has no user-accessible memory slots. Storage is handled by 128GB of flash memory — not an NVMe SSD — connected via PCIe 3, while the integrated GPU runs at a base clock of 350 MHz and boosts up to 850 MHz with support for DirectX 12. The system is fully 64-bit compatible.

In benchmark testing, this Chromebook recorded a Geekbench 6 multi-core score of 1,109 and a single-core score of 483, reflecting its quad-core processing capacity under sustained and single-threaded workloads respectively. On the PassMark suite, it achieved an overall score of 3,049, with a single-core PassMark result of 1,404.

For wired connectivity, this Chromebook offers one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C port and two USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A ports, along with a single HDMI 1.4 output; there are no Thunderbolt, DisplayPort, mini DisplayPort, VGA, or RJ45 ports. Wireless connectivity is covered by Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) with backward compatibility for Wi-Fi 5 and Wi-Fi 4, paired with Bluetooth 5.2. The device also includes an external memory slot for expandable storage and supports AirPlay.

The Chromebook is equipped with a 47 Wh battery rated for up to 10 hours of use on a single charge. It does not include sleep-and-charge USB ports or a MagSafe power adapter.

On the audio and communication side, this Chromebook includes stereo speakers, a 3.5 mm headset jack, and two built-in microphones, along with a front-facing camera. It does not support Dolby Atmos, S/PDIF output, or voice commands. Security features such as a fingerprint scanner and 3D facial recognition are absent, and there is no stylus included. The device also lacks motion and location sensors — no gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, or GPS — and does not have an optical disc drive. Graphics-related capabilities like ray tracing and DLSS are not supported.

The integrated UHD Graphics 32EU handles all graphical output, featuring 32 execution units, 256 shading units, 16 texture mapping units, and 8 render output units, with support for OpenCL 1.2 and OpenGL 4.5. The CPU carries a clock multiplier of 11, a thermal design power of just 6W, and a maximum operating temperature of 105 °C, with support for SSE 4.1, SSE 4.2, and AES instruction sets; it does not use big.LITTLE technology. Cache configuration consists of 256 KB of L1, 1.5 MB of L2 (0.38 MB per core), and 4 MB of L3 cache (1 MB per core), while memory runs across two channels at up to 2,933 MHz with no ECC support. An overclocked PassMark result of 3,707 is also recorded for this configuration.
