Yes I am a gamer, no I don’t want to use the Laptop for gaming.
The Laptop in question is the ‘Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming 3 Gen 7’, I can’t out right purchase it outright as any device is way to pricy for me. So it would be an monthly payment through 2 years.
Why do I want the Laptop?
I’ve been pushing myself to edit videos and have got to the stage that I have registered a company that I’ll be doing this under. Sure my PC would do the ok job, it runs the programs I need such as Premiere Pro but I feel a more portable set up might be needed in the future for as my partner wants to go away to so many places in the future, the ability to move rooms in the house when I feel I no longer can work in the room such as my office to the sitting room as well as if it comes to it I can use the laptop for more ‘high-end’ gaming on the go in my spare time.
Why this Laptop?
Well I saw it on my phone providers website as I was checking when my current laptop is due to finish it’s cycle (The laptop I have currently only have 4GB of ram and can barely open the internet) also it cost like ~£40 a month.
How much would I be paying?
The cost on the website is £42 a month with £10 upfront cost.
This does come with a ‘bonus’ of 2 year subscriptions of Microsoft Office 365 and Xbox Game Pass Ultimate.

@Tosti Hey yeah, so it looks like there is space to add more RAM the one I was looking at have about 8GB of RAM and I would love to purchase an extra 8GB if I do get it as I’d like to make it run a little faster.
TBH I think the one that I’ve been looking at does have a Desktop processor as it is on the bulkier side with added bonuses of a Ethernet port and stuff so that’s good.
I will keep in mind about the IdeaPad and will try and do some research on them as I don’t think I can get them on a monthly payment anywhere.
If the (intel) processor has a U at the end then its a lower powered mobile processor just FYI.
@CmdrShepard Thank you, It doesn’t seem like it is but it’s an AMD processor so probably not the same rule.
Probably not and I’m not familiar enough with the current AMD line to know the differences.
@CmdrShepard Thanks for the help either way, I will most likely be phoning up the company that is selling the laptop tomorrow to see if I can get some more information as some information is saying it’s one processor and others say it’s another probably two different laptops with the same name.
Yeah it’s not uncommon for laptops to have different tiers of hardware under the same model name similar to the iPhone/IPhone max.
