Score: 73/100Rankings
The HP Newest 14" Ultral Light Laptop offers a lightweight chassis, decent battery life, and a Microsoft 365 subscription, targeting students and budget-conscious users. Its performance is limited by an eMMC drive and a low-resolution TN screen, making it unsuitable for demanding workloads.
The 2022 Ideapad 3 is a budget-friendly 15.6" HD touchscreen laptop with an i3-1115G4 processor, 8 GB RAM and a fast 256 GB SSD. It offers solid everyday performance and good connectivity, but its low-resolution display, modest battery life and basic build limit its appeal for demanding tasks.

Products in the top-left offer the best value (high score, low price).
Professional reviewers agree the IdeaPad 3 delivers reliable basic performance and solid value, but note the low-resolution TN panel, average audio and lack of Wi-Fi 6 and a backlit keyboard as drawbacks.
Everyday users appreciate the touchscreen, numeric keypad and fast SSD, rating it well for study and light work. Complaints focus on the dim low-quality display, weak speakers, webcam issues, chassis flex and modest battery life.
Professional reviewers acknowledge the attractive price and Microsoft 365 inclusion, but caution that the Celeron N4120 and eMMC storage restrict it to very light tasks, recommending at least 8 GB RAM for acceptable performance.
Everyday users praise portability, long battery life, and the included Office subscription, while noting sluggishness with many tabs, quickly filled eMMC storage, dim low-resolution screen, and occasional overheating.
“Good for schoolwork, but don't expect it to do anything fast. The 4GB RAM version is too slow-get the 8GB or 16GB if you can.”
