Escalate your game
Welcome to the next-generation of gaming performance with an AMD Ryzen 5 5600H mobile processor, 8GB
3200 MHz DDR4 memory and 512 GB M.2 NVMe PCIe SSD storage.
Speed meets endurance with AMD Ryzen™ processors
Speed meets endurance when you play with a gaming laptop powered by AMD Ryzen™ processors. Seize the pure performance you need to win, without compromising battery life.
The Ultimate Play
GeForce RTX™ 30 Series GPUs deliver the ultimate performance for gamers and creators. They’re powered by Ampere—NVIDIA’s 2nd Gen RTX™ architecture—with new RT Cores, Tensor Cores, and streaming multiprocessors for the most realistic ray-traced graphics and cutting-edge AI features.
Quad Vent cooling
Quick and quiet Quad Vent cooling in the IdeaPad Gaming 3 Gen 7 laptop means you'll enjoy cooling improvements that’ll keep you gaming on the highest performance settings. Features like keyboard air intake, larger ventilation rates improved by 20%, and 10% increased fan airflow from the previous generation make for some of the coolest gaming on one of the coolest Lenovo machines.
Sleek and streamlined brand-new design
The Gaming 3 designs are expressive yet simple, with minimal logos and subtle blue accents that say you're here for gaming, but with style. Rear I/O ports keep your cables neat and clean. Additionally, Lenovo’s signature gaming keyboard comes with media controls and a number pad. Plus, enjoy added discretion with the webcam privacy shutter switch.

"Up to 7 hours and Battery life"
what? LOL
IMHO, this [seems] a good deal so here's some heat 🔥
Confused though over difference between this laptop (82K201KMUK) and (82K201KPUK) which looks identical (I say 'looks' identical)
Actually, I'm looking to buy a tri-use (HOME/EDUCATION/GAMING ) quality but not too expensive future proof laptop for my son's birthday end of this month -
BUT
I am no tech/laptop/gaming expert, so waiting for thoughts/comments re. performance, quality etc on:
🔹Build/Form factor?
🔹Screen (visual experience)?
🔹Battery duration?
🔹Ram (upgrade potential)?
🔹Storage size (upgrade potential)?
🔹Speaker power?
🔹Ability to handle top/most demanding games?
🔹Future proof (for at least next 2yrs)?
🔹82K201KMUK vs 82K201KPUK?
And finally:
🔴 Overall verdict: Price vs Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3, AMD Ryzen 5, 8GB RAM, 512GB SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 Ti, 15.6 Inch Gaming Laptop?

Whats I like - the build is good and simple to upgrade, and the performance is great for the price.
The issues
- the screen is pretty bad (low contrast, bad colour accuracy.. but 120hz),
- it has one very limited hdmi port (v2.0 which limits resolution/refresh/hdr, and its not connected to the GPU.. no gsync)
- the marketing material originally said it had advanced optimus but it doesn't (this means a 5-10% reduction in performance due to gpu passthrough),
- some games won't even boot with 8GB of ram (7GB usable with the igpu usage), you need to add a second stick to get the full cpu/gpu performance (but its easy enough to update and they're pretty cheap.. but the included dimm is not the best.. more in my previous post)
- This GPU might limit you a bit with modern games being poorly optimised for low vram (even at low res).
Lots of negativity, but I do actually think its great, but its built to a price point.
If all you do is game... at this price I'd might wait for the ROG ally
