The keyboard in my photos is the Canadian version with French characters. However, the keyboard lacks a backlight and the navigation keys (PgUp, PgDn, End, Home) are only accessible with the Fn key instead of having dedicated keys. The keys have a satisfying travel and spacing that make typing more enjoyable than expected. The keyboard makes good use of the available space and includes a number pad for enhanced productivity and spreadsheet work. The keyboard, though it doesn't have a backlight, is comfortable to use during all-day typing binges. If you want to take the laptop with you on the go, it shouldn't be too much of a bother in a backpack or messenger. That's less than something like the Dell XPS 15, which employs an aluminum chassis rather than plastic. It weighs in at 3.75 pounds (1.7kg) and measures 0.78 inches (19.9mm) at its thinnest point. It's all fairly straightforward for a budget laptop. The bottom of the laptop has a sizable air intake for the large fan, with an exhaust along the back edge between lid and hinge. The IdeaPad 3 15 has an Abyss Blue color with brushed finish, giving it a more expensive look than you might expect from plain plastic.
