Test Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3x Gen 10 (15 “Snapdragon): our full opinion – PC laptops

Meanwhile,

Test lenovo ideapad slim 3x:

The introduction of ARM fleas within Windows computers does not go smoothly. Meanwhile, If the first aim was high -end. Therefore, the reality is that it is rather on the side of the entry and the mid -range that Qualcomm begins to find ground. For example, The Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3x of 2025 in fact incorporates a Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 chip all that is simpler to lower costs. For example, but is it enough to make an interesting product?

Design – Test lenovo ideapad slim 3x

We are definitely on an entry -level laptop pc considering that the entire chassis is made of plastic. Meanwhile, But there are different variations in plastic, and it must be admitted that here, Lenovo’s formula works. In addition, This iDeapad Slim 3x remains pleasant to the touch. However, and knows how to stay sober while retaining the brand’s signature design with its very classic gray tone and no distinctive sign too marked.

It is all the more portable as we are on a weight of 1.6 kilogram for a thickness of 1.69 centimeters. Meanwhile, A few years ago, it was the measurements of the best ultraportable. Furthermore, Here. Meanwhile, it is simply an effective computer, which does not necessarily seek to stand out, but mainly to meet the expectations of users directly. However, The restricted is good.

Keyboard and touchpad – Test lenovo ideapad slim 3x

This is where we lower in quality. In addition, The composition of the keyboard is good. Nevertheless, its 15 inch format allows it to integrate a somewhat narrow, but always useful digital pavement. Meanwhile, Except that here: the switches are terribly soft, and have almost no return. However, We get used to it. Nevertheless, and most of the computers sold at this price encounter this problem, but Lenovo has test lenovo ideapad slim 3x not made any effort to make everything more comfortable. Therefore, Lots of flex, but nothing that really blocks use.

The touchpad is also effective. Consequently, If its surface is plastic, its diagonal is large enough and the slide is sufficient. Furthermore, For its category, we are satisfied.

Connection – Test lenovo ideapad slim 3x

On the left, we find a rounded tip port port, a USB port has 5 GB, an HDMI 1.4 port, a USB-C 5 GB port and a Jack combo. On the right. we have a second USB port at 5 GB, a full -format SD card reader and the Lenovo signature power button.

The connection is quite … Older. From HDMI 1.4 to USB all limited to 5 GBPS, ie standard 3.0, it is difficult to consider the product as a modern computer. Pragmatically. users targeted here do not necessarily need more, but from the same time, it is difficult to justify these integrations when the chip is able to manage better.

Webcam. audio

If the Qualcomm SOCs have been test lenovo ideapad slim 3x noticed for their ability to manage the photos beautifully, the integrated sensor must be good. Here. we come back to a 720p definition and a fairly catastrophic management of light which does not help the Snapdragon X1 to offer its usual treatment.

The audio configuration is of the same ilk, and recalls the entry -level smartphones. There is nothing to notice here other than we can at least take advantage of Bluetooth 5.3 to connect devices capable of much better.

Screen

The Ideapad Slim 3x that we test integrate a 15 -inch IPS LCD slab supporting a definition of 1920 x 1200 pixels, a 16:10 ratio. The refreshment rate is blocked at 60 Hz, the base today.

Under our probe and with the Calman Color Calibration of Portrait Displays software, we find a coverage of only 57% of the SRGB space for 38% of the DCI-P3 space. The maximum brightness is measured at 319 cd/m². for a contrast ratio of 1130: 1 with an average color temperature of 6060 a little too hot. The average Delta E00 measured is 4.95 on the SRGB space, with an immense maximum difference of 21 on blue and pink tones.

Well, let’s stop observing a certain journalistic deference: it’s bad. If we can accept certain concessions on the entry-level. in particular the fact test lenovo ideapad slim 3x of not supporting the DCI-P3 or offering a sacrificed brightness like this, going back to a “45% NTSC” screen in this way is not possible in 2025. It was acceptable 5 years ago, more now when the decent IPS LCD tiles are not difficult to undergo.

Software

Unsurprisingly, the Ideapad Slim 3X integrates a lot of advertising software, including McAfee. Much more acceptable on products in its tariff category to lower the invoice for consumers. of course, but always to uninstall per minute when you take charge of your PC.

The Lenovo Vantage software continues to be one of the most pleasant to take charge of the market. The interface is clear, easy to read, the explanations are there, test lenovo ideapad slim 3x and everything works perfectly well. The manufacturer. however, continues to highlight its paid services, while what they offer (diagnostics and automatic optimizations) is often free in others.

Performances

The IDEAPAD Slim 3X is powered by the SOC Qualcomm Snapdragon X1 26 100, a processor with 8 cores operating up to 2.98 GHz. Here it is coupled at 16 GB of RAM LPDDR5X at 8448 MHz, and 256 GB of storage in PCIe Gen 4.

Benchmarks

Under Cinebench 2024, we can see scores of 623 points in multi -core for 96 points in single core. If the single Core supports the thesis of a modern laptop PC. multi -core skills are divided by two compared to its contemporaries. test lenovo ideapad slim 3x This computer is definitively intended for office use only, without much possibility of great productivity beyond the web and writing.

The Adreno graphic part is not the most powerful at 1088 points on Steel Nomad either. If the Snapdragon X Elite was a little more competitive on this point, this cheaper variant sacrifices this point.

At least the storage is quite modern. If the reading rate is satisfactory, the writing rate is withdrawn from what the PCIe Gen has accustomed to us. Optimization of costs is total.

Cooling and noise

Now, Qualcomm keeps a substantial advantage: this PC does not test lenovo ideapad slim 3x heat and barely noise. The fan almost seems to be there to make it pretty. reassure consumers accustomed to seeing a fan on their configurations.

Autonomy

The Lenovo Ideapad Slim 3X incorporates an honest 50 W battery, and is supplied with a 65 watts power supply. This does not use the USB-C, even if the PC is compatible, but an adapter with a rounded tip. In 2025? With a Qualcomm configuration? Difficult once again to justify it.

On a office use, brightness pushed to 50%, we find an autonomy of about twenty hours. Qualcomm still has this advantage of autonomy. especially on the entry -level where Intel and AMD do not make as much test lenovo ideapad slim 3x effort.
