Lenovo IdeaPad 3 14ADA05

A laptop as unique as you are

This Lenovo IdeaPad 3 from our Basics & Budget line is a one-off. We’ve fully refurbished it with a brand-new screen and new casing, so it’s technically 100% sound and scratch-free, with a distinctive colour scheme: business grey on the outside, stylish burgundy inside. This eye-catcher is excellent for schoolwork, admin, Netflix, photo editing and lighter games like Minecraft, Roblox or The Sims.

Simply a snappy machine: with a bit more punch

No dawdling: thanks to the AMD Ryzen 5 processor and the fast 256GB NVMe SSD, it boots straight up. Where most laptops in this price range have 8GB of memory, this one has 12GB of RAM. You notice that immediately when you have lots of tabs or programs open at once. And thanks to the Radeon Vega 8 graphics card, this laptop does more than just word processing.

Honest about the battery

We don’t like surprises after the fact. Because this is an honest, refurbished laptop, the battery has already clocked up some hours (wear level approx. 22%).

• Current state: Expect up to 2.5 hours of cordless use. Perfect for an evening of Netflix on the sofa, or doing your admin at the kitchen table without immediately hunting for a socket.

Upgrade tip: Are you often on the move or do you hate cables? Then tick the “New battery” option. We’ll fit a brand-new battery for you straight away. You almost double your range to a comfortable 4 hours. That turns this bargain into a machine that feels like new for years again, without having to recharge halfway through the day.
