Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IWC11 Intel® Core™ 7 350 15.3″ WUXGA IPS 16GB DDR5 512GB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD Windows 11 Home AI Laptop

83RR00CWSA

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15IWC11 combines Intel’s Series 3 Core architecture with dedicated AI processing in a slim, practical everyday notebook. The 83RR00CWSA configuration is designed for students, home users and professionals who need responsive performance for productivity, web applications, video conferencing, streaming and general multitasking.

At its core is the Intel® Core™ 7 350 processor, featuring 6 cores, speeds from 1.4GHz up to 4.8GHz, and 6MB Intel® Smart Cache. This provides strong everyday performance for Microsoft Office, browser-heavy workflows, communication applications and general productivity.

The processor also incorporates an Intel® AI Boost NPU delivering up to 17 TOPS of dedicated AI acceleration. This enables supported AI workloads to be processed more efficiently without relying exclusively on the CPU or integrated graphics. The IdeaPad Slim 3 is therefore an AI PC, although it is not classified as a Copilot+ PC because its NPU performance is below the 40-TOPS Copilot+ threshold.

This configuration includes 16GB DDR5-5600 memory installed as a single 16GB SO-DIMM. Unlike many thin-and-light laptops with soldered memory, the IdeaPad Slim 3 provides an upgrade path, with Lenovo listing support for configurations up to 32GB DDR5-5600.

Storage is provided by a 512GB M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 NVMe SSD, delivering fast startup, responsive application loading and everyday file storage. Lenovo specifies one M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 storage slot with support for drives up to 1TB.

The 15.3-inch WUXGA (1920 × 1200) IPS display provides a productivity-friendly 16:10 workspace with 400-nit brightness, anti-glare treatment, 45% NTSC colour coverage and a 60Hz refresh rate. Its taller 16:10 format provides additional vertical workspace compared with conventional 1920 × 1080 displays, making it particularly useful for documents, spreadsheets and web browsing.

Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax 2×2) and Bluetooth® 5.3. Physical connections include two USB-A 5Gbps ports, a USB-C 5Gbps port supporting USB Power Delivery and DisplayPort™ 1.2, HDMI 1.4, an SD card reader and a 3.5mm headphone/microphone combination jack. This configuration does not include onboard Ethernet or mobile broadband.

For online meetings and remote learning, Lenovo equips the notebook with an HD 720p webcam and physical privacy shutter, dual-array microphones and 2W × 2 stereo speakers optimised with Dolby Audio™. Firmware TPM 2.0 provides additional platform security.

The Luna Grey chassis combines an aluminium top cover with a PC-ABS bottom and starts at approximately 1.59kg. A 50Wh integrated battery is paired with a 65W round-tip power adapter, providing a practical balance between portability and everyday battery capacity.

This South African configuration also includes a Lenovo WL310 Bluetooth Silent Mouse in Grey and a Lenovo 16-inch ECO Backpack B210 in Black, adding useful accessories straight out of the box.
