Lenovo is expanding the availability of the IdeaPad Slim 3 14IWC11 to the rest of Europe, giving budget-conscious buyers a new option for everyday computing. This release matters because it brings a modern Intel processor and Wi-Fi 7 connectivity to a price point that undercuts many premium ultrabooks. We can now track this model alongside its larger sibling, the IdeaPad Slim 3 16IWC11, which we covered earlier in our Lenovo coverage.
Budget laptop expands to Europe with Intel Core 3 and Wi-Fi 7
The laptop targets students and remote workers who need reliable performance without paying for high-end features. It runs on Intel's new Wildcat Lake architecture, specifically the Core 3 304 processor in its base configuration. This chip provides six cores to handle multitasking and light productivity workloads efficiently.
Specifications
- Processor: Intel Core 3 304 (Wildcat Lake)
- Display: 14-inch IPS, 1200p, 60 Hz
- Memory: Up to 32 GB DDR5-5600
- Storage: Up to 1 TB M.2 2242
- Connectivity: Wi-Fi 7
Visually, the device features a 14-inch IPS display with a 1200p resolution and a 16:10 aspect ratio. The screen delivers 400 nits of brightness and supports a 60 Hz refresh rate, though it is limited to 45% NTSC color coverage. Lenovo has not yet made the optional OLED display available for purchase, so current buyers only get the standard IPS panel.
Under the hood, the system supports up to 32 GB of DDR5-5600 RAM and 1 TB of M.2 2242 storage. Connectivity includes Wi-Fi 7 for faster wireless speeds, and the battery comes in 50 Wh or 60 Wh variants. Lenovo rates the 60 Wh model for up to 21 hours of battery life when locally playing 1080p videos at 150 nits.
Pricing in the Eurozone starts at 839 EUR (around $980) for the base configuration with 8 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage. The laptop is now available across Europe, having previously launched in Oceania, East Asia, and Southeast Asia. We have confirmed SKUs for Canada, but the device is not yet listed for sale in North America.
