Not yet. At $379.99 at Best Buy, the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15.6" Ryzen 5 gets a C, and we'd wait for a better price.
A+A+ means this is the lowest price we've ever recorded, backed by 6+ months of price history.
DealTeacher's grade for the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 15.6" Ryzen 5: C (Wait). It's $379.99 at Best Buy, $30 above its May 19, 2026 low. Price last checked Oct 28, 2026. Fair, but it's been cheaper. Best Buy had this exact laptop at $389.99 in September and $379.99 in mid October, so this price just matches its recent sale. In May and June it sold for $349.99 at Best Buy, and holiday sales could bring that back. It's a basic everyday laptop for browsing, school and streaming; 8GB of memory is enough for light work. Ignore the $629.99 'was' price, and we'd wait for $349.99.
