Gaming laptops, although pretty common nowadays, are something that many dislike due to their bulky nature which hinders their portability. However, if you are a casual gamer and don't care about performance all that much, Lenovo may just have the best deal right now. That's because the Lenovo IdeaPad 3, powered by an AMD Ryzen 3 5th generation APU, is selling for fantastic discount at the moment (buying link below), though for limited time only.
The IdeaPad 3, is powered by the AMD Ryzen 3 5425U SKU to be precise. The 5425U is a Zen 3-based 4-core 8-threaded processor that comes with onboard Vega 6 integrated graphics. Overall, it is a mighty processor and when paired with dual channel memory, the 5425U is pretty capable budget gaming APU. By default, the IdeaPad 3 comes with 8GB of soldered memory but users can add another 8GB stick for dual channel memory (16GB total). This will essentially double the throughput of the integrated graphics and should also improve the performance of the CPU side too.
