Nuked Two Intel 12th Gens and two AMD ryzen 6000-series-equipped models have a 15.6-inch and 16-inch option. The 16-inch option for either CPU you opt for has a 16:10 aspect ratio display. The only thing they’re not particularly great for is watching movies or TV shows, which are traditionally presented in 16:9 aspect ratio.
Ideapad gaming 3i features a core i7-12700h processor and up to NVIDIA’s rtx 3060 (105W total graphics power).
You can get the qHD (2560 X 1440) resolution display with either size of the 3i. The 16-inch screen can apparently go up to 500 nits of brightness.
The storage situation is the same, though you can get up to 32GB of faster DDR5 4,800mhz RAM in this one. The 15.6-inch version supports up to FHD, while the 16-inch model can support WQHD.
The 15.6-inch IdeaPad gaming 3 and 3i share identical dimensions. Base models of the 15.6-inch model include a 45wh three-cell battery. The 16-inch model goes up to a 71wh four-cell battery.
Even compared to newer 2021 models, the newer model sports more subtle branding. A bigger, taller display is a spec that all leads to slightly higher pricing.
