An 8-core everyday laptop with a full-size 15.6-inch screen.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 (82XB008LUS) is a 15.6-inch Full HD laptop powered by the 8-core Intel Core i3-N305. With 8GB of LPDDR5 memory, a 256GB NVMe SSD, and Wi-Fi 6, it suits students, home users, and small offices that need a reliable, portable machine for documents, browsing, and video calls.

An Efficient 8-Core Laptop for Everyday Work

Entry laptops often pair a slow dual-core processor with a hard drive, which makes everyday tasks feel sluggish. The IdeaPad Slim 3 uses the Intel Core i3-N305, an efficient 8-core processor that handles multiple browser tabs, office apps, and streaming at the same time.

Its 256GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD boots Windows and opens apps quickly, and 8GB of LPDDR5-4800 memory provides fast bandwidth for the integrated graphics. Wi-Fi 6 delivers more stable connections on modern routers.

The 15.6-inch FHD anti-glare display gives more room for spreadsheets and side-by-side windows than smaller budget laptops.

Full-Size Display With a Number Pad

The 15.6-inch layout leaves room for a full keyboard with a number pad, which helps with data entry and spreadsheets.
