Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i (82RK0097IN) 12th Gen Core i5-1235U 8GB RAM 512GB SSD 15.6" FHD Laptop

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i is a 15.6-inch everyday laptop for study, office work and home use, built around Intel's 12th Gen Core i5-1235U processor. The i5-1235U is a hybrid chip with 10 cores, 2 performance and 8 efficient, and 12 threads boosting up to 4.4GHz, so a spreadsheet, a video call and a stack of browser tabs run together without stutter. It is paired with 8GB of DDR4-3200 memory, soldered to the board and not upgradable later, and a 512GB M.2 2242 PCIe NVMe SSD that keeps boots and file loading quick. The display is a 15.6-inch FHD 1920×1080 IPS panel rated at 300 nits with an anti-glare finish, and Intel Iris Xe integrated graphics cover photo work, video playback and light editing. It ships with Windows 11 Home Single Language and a chiclet keyboard without backlighting, in an Arctic Grey finish at 1.63 kg with a 45Wh battery. At that weight it moves easily between classes or out to a client meeting, and the anti-glare screen holds up in a bright room or beside a window. The efficient cores and the 45Wh battery keep it working through a stretch away from mains power, which counts on a day when the electricity is off. For documents, browsing, media and coursework this is the right amount of machine; heavy virtual machines or large 3D scenes call for something further up the range.
