Frequently Asked Questions
Why does this IdeaPad 3 have 36GB of RAM instead of a standard amount like 32GB or 16GB?
It ships with 4GB soldered onboard plus a 32GB SO-DIMM module, totaling 36GB. This is a third-party upgraded configuration rather than a standard Lenovo factory option.
What is the display resolution on this 17.3" screen?
The display is HD+ at 1600x900. It is not a Full HD (1080p) panel, so text and images will appear slightly less sharp than on higher-resolution screens of the same size.
Can I upgrade the storage or memory further?
The 1TB SATA SSD can be swapped for a larger drive. The onboard 4GB RAM is soldered and not replaceable, but the SO-DIMM slot can accept different modules up to the motherboard's supported maximum.
Does this laptop support Wi-Fi 6?
No, it supports 802.11ac (Wi-Fi 5). You would need a Wi-Fi 6 compatible wireless card replacement to get newer wireless standards.
What version of Windows is included?
It comes with Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, which provides business-oriented features like BitLocker, Remote Desktop, and domain join capability.
