Exactly... 8 gigs is too little , what if I wanted to play aaa titles, clearly 8 gigs ain't enough cause you know, I seen super desktops that have more And play games good... why is the graphics integrated as well... who thinks of this shit...I know this laptop is marketed for general use where at most 4 gigs is used ... but we got the general masses of idiots who don't understand Or know what tHey need Or how to use it properly

You get the usual idiot who thinks they need 16-32 gb ram to surf the web and type on word and become keyboard warriors
Exactly. And those people who say, oh 16gb will future proof it. No it won't. By the time 8gb is no longer feasible for browsing and general use, the other components in that laptop is also obsolete.

I wonder if this will work with the Ideapad 3?
Sorry for the late reply. I had someone else ask me about the Ideapad 3 previously (Model: 81W50000US) and I can't recommend a specific panel replacement for it at this time due to there not being enough information on the board/repair guides. If you have a different model number I can check, otherwise I'll try and message you when I have a clear answer for that laptop.

Yup, I bought a 3700u from them two years ago, with that single 8GB of ram it totally kills the GPU because it can't take advantage of double data rate.
3700u didn't come out two years ago and the old chassis had a sodimm slot, I thought?

I ordered this last weekend and they kept delaying the delivery so I canceled. Also didn't want to deal with the TN panel viewing angles.

Yeah I think these IdeaPads are the best deal in the industry right now, but I'd definitely go with a model with 16GB and an IPS screen, especially since many have been available at basically this same price (though with the 4500u).

Fwiw last year for prime day a bunch of ideapads were on sale and like for example the Flex 14 was down from $600 to $450.

This is what happens when people who think they know open their mouth... DDR is double data rate... It didn't kill anything, you're thinking dual channel.

The screen is the real deal killer, I could live with 8gb ram but they really put the worst possible junk screen on this.

For $40 less, I got the Lenovo Ideapad 3 from Office Depot:

https://www.officedepot.com/a/pro...56-Screen/

From what I can tell, the main difference is that the IdeaPad 3 does not have a USB-C port like the IdeaPad 5. Also, RAM is upgradeable since it has 4GB soldered RAM and 4GB removable. I bought another 16GB from Amazon and now have 20GB of RAM. I'm tempted to one day try a 32GB in there for a total of 36GB, but with 20GB, I'm good. I do a lot of video editing (on an attached monitor via HDMI port) and the 4700U plus the 20GB of RAM helps a lot. Oh, and I also use it for video steaming church. Where my old Intel i5 with 8GB of RAM was choking, this one was handling it with no issues.

Hope this helps someone...

I was looking to buy a laptop and pulled the trigger on this. I realize it's more expensive, but Costco gives you a 2 year warranty and this one has double the ram and storage and it's a 2-in1.

Its a shame that they didn't provide either 16gb or empty ram slot to run these 4000series to its full potential

I did the same. Costco's is more expensive but the 16GB and 4 year warranty is a better value for money to me too.

Well as i said before on the laptop post im not suprised anymore, most laptops nowadays have soldered ram
No they don't, only CHEAP ones.. they do this so that mfg that sold those chips on the spot market at a discount won't undercut the sodimm market.
