Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (2025) Targets Students, Offers Upgradability
Lenovo has just introduced a new version of their popular IdeaPad Slim 3 for 2025, and it appears to be particularly geared towards students and anyone working and learning from home. It even has a thin metal frame!
One of the first things you will notice is the screen. The model has a welcoming 16:10 aspect ratio, perfect for gaining extra vertical space on your screen – very handy when you are scrolling through websites or documents. Depending on the model you grab, you will get a crisp 1920x1200 pixel IPS screen in 14, 15.3, or even 16 inches.
Lots of Power Under the Hood (and the Option to Add Some More!)
Inside the IdeaPad Slim 3 (2025), Lenovo has given you some choices with processors. You've got the options of models run by Intel's Raptor Lake H chips or AMD's HawkPoint processors, both of which are designed to give you some reasonable balance of speed for routine tasks, drawing up to 25W TDP. Lenovo's "Smart Power" technology is also on board to help keep performance and how long the battery lasts in balance. Speaking of battery, there is a decent size battery that comes with up to 60 Wh to keep you going all day.
Here's where things get even more interesting, particularly for students or those who would like to own their laptop for a while now: this IdeaPad Slim 3 is actually future-proof!
- Need more speed? You can add an extra DDR5 RAM module later.
- Need more space for your files? It has two SSD slots, so adding storage is easy.
Small Touches That Make a Difference
Apart from the core specs, Lenovo has added some thoughtful features. You get a nice big touchpad, a noise-cancelling microphone so you're heard properly on calls, and a Full HD camera. The camera even has IR lighting for smoother logins and a physical shutter for privacy – nice little touch!
