Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i (2024) Price in Nepal and Availability

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i (2023) is only available in Nepal in one configuration, which costs Rs. 84,500, and has a 15.6-inch IPS display and a Core i5-13420H CPU. However, Fusion Hub is the only place to get it right now for just Rs. 77,000.

Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i (2023) Overview:

Performance and Memory

Intel 13th generation processors are included on the IdeaPad Slim 3i models from 2023. There are also a lot of settings for the CPU. The laptop can be configured with a Core i7-1355U or an entry-level U30 processor. In contrast, it is even offered with the CPU from the “H” series, which is what is accessible in Nepal. In particular, it has been matched with an Intel Core i5-13420H CPU, which has eight cores and twelve threads with a basic power consumption of 45W and a maximum turbo frequency of 4.6 GHz.

Lenovo includes 4GB, 8GB, and 16GB of LPDDR5 RAM with the laptop. Sadly, the memory cannot be upgraded, and the 16GB model is the only one with dual-channel memory, so it’s critical to get this right when buying. Next, there is a single M.2 PCIe slot that can accommodate an SSD up to 1TB in size. A Ryzen 7000 series CPU and DDR4 RAM from the latest generation are also available in this laptop’s AMD variant.

Design and Display

The most recent IdeaPad Slim 3i shares exactly the same design as the previous model. Lenovo makes the device entirely of plastic, including the lid and main chassis. It is available in three different colors: Abyss Blue, Arctic Grey, and Frost Blue. The thickness of the laptop is approximately 18 mm, and its weight varies according to the model. For example, the IdeaPad Slim 3i 14-inch weighs approximately 1.3 kg, and its 15-inch sister weighs 1.6 kg more.

The IdeaPad Slim 3i’s display specifications are rather standard, despite the various screen sizes. The TN and IPS panels are your options. The latter is brighter and has better viewing angles; both are anti-glare panels with a conventional 16:9 aspect ratio and 45% NTSC coverage. The 15-inch model is the only one with a multi-touch option.

Battery and Charging

Lenovo’s unique Rapid Charge Boost technology is supported by a 56.6Wh Li-Polymer battery included in all IdeaPad Slim 3i (2023) models. At just a 15-minute charge, you can use this to gain up to two hours of runtime. Devices differ in terms of battery life; smaller screens outperform larger siblings in this regard.

Rest of the specs

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3i (2023) has an extensive connector variety as well. There are three USB ports, one of which is Type-C and compatible with PowerDelivery. In addition, there is an integrated card reader, an HDMI port, and a headphone/microphone jack. Bluetooth 5.1 is included in WiFi 5 or WiFi 6 for wireless communication. A backlit keyboard and a fingerprint scanner are two more add-on features.
