The 15.6-inch, non-touch, IPS display features a crisp 1,920x1,080 resolution but is better for gaming in a darkened room than, say, matinee sessions because it doesn’t get very bright. It also offers the perfect amount of travel for clicks with the same snappiness of the keys. It recorded my swipes and gestures accurately and without delay. The touchpad integrates the mouse buttons and is generously proportioned. One nitpick: the illuminated blue dot on the power button is always on I wish it turned off when you disabled the keyboard backlighting. Other than the power button centered above the keyboard, there are no dedicated keys for volume or media control. The keys feel snappy and are quiet even under the fingertips of a thunderous typist like myself. Lenovo manages to squeeze in a dedicated number pad without shortening any of the keys. The blue keyboard backlighting has two brightness levels, and the keyboard itself is roomy and comfortable. Also, the edges of the laptop are beveled and the four corners of the laptop are angled to help the machine break away from the basic, rectangular laptop look. It gives a bit of an edge to the overall appearance, and the light blue color used for the key symbols still provides enough contrast that non-touch typists won’t be lost.

Instead of using the usual white for the symbols on the keys, Lenovo has opted for blue as well as blue backlighting. The most striking visual element of the otherwise all-matte-black plastic chassis are the blue accents. The IdeaPad Gaming 3i isn’t likely to turn heads, but it boasts a solid build quality and a couple design flourishes to distinguish it from a run-of-the-mill home laptop.
