Great bargain!
I love my chromebook. It’s just what I needed. A lightweight laptop/tablet that’s inexpensive and starts up real fast. Also the battery is awesome! It lasts about 10 hours. I’d definitely recommend and buy again.

Poor WiFi and Broken Key
I purchased this for my daughter to use for online school back on March 24th. She is on the other side of our ~1500 sq ft house and she had trouble picking up a WiFi signal on the laptop requiring me to get an extender (which is frustrating given that none of our other devices have had any issues). The extender worked and she was able to get a solid signal and connect to do her online schooling. Then this morning, she came out holding the volume down button. My wife and I both tried to fix it, but the one side would not stay in place and would constantly lift back up. When I inspected it further, the top right piece was broken and the key would continue to lift up and out of place. The computer has been mostly good (ample USB-C ports and battery life seems to be decent to good), but I cannot excuse the issues with the WiFi range and the build quality on the keyboard seems to be lackluster.

Scratched up, major wifi connectivity issues
Really disappointed with this purchase and returned it. This was an "open box excellent" which stated it should have been in new condition but it had many scratches. Not the nice gift I thought I was getting to give my daughter. Also, it had major issues connecting to wifi and no other device I own has that issue. I called Best Buy support to remedy this and got some direction, but it didn't help at all. Chromebooks function via wifi and having an issue with its main method of operation was really bad. Maybe the device new works well, but this was bad all around.

Price and Performance, check! check!
The Lenovo C340 is a really good first Chromebook for most types of use. Telework, education, a second computer, etc. The touch screen is bright and clear. It wakes up within a second and boots within seconds even when completely powered down. Most every Android app runs well on the Celeron N4000 with 4gb of RAM. I use cloud storage so the 32GB eMMc storage was fine. Most of the time I telework by accessing a remote desktop in my office or a virtual desktop at my data centers. I have 300mbs Internet in my home and the internal Wifi adapter nearly achieves all of that performing a Speedtest. The weight is perfect at just over 2 1/2 pounds. I have tested many Chromebooks and high end Laptops. When you go up in price for the ultra nice features the higher Chromebook prices compare similarly to Windows 10 laptops and MacBook Airs. It is difficult to pick a Chromebook over a Windows 10 or Mac OS device when the price is the same. That brings us back to the Lenovo C340. Often available around $300, it is an excellent starter Chromebook when you may not ever need another. Chromebooks are best used for Internet, video streaming, normal office suite software and connects each year more seamlessly with the Google ecosystem. My phone, messaging, email, apps, laptop, browser bookmarks all follow me on any device I log into. I was not disappointed in any way. Chromebooks are snappy fast and easy to use for device management. Lastly, the fit and finish on the C340 model is stellar. Aluminum for strength and a glossy screen with well above average clarity and contrast. The C340 does not remind me of a cheap laptop at all. It may be on the smaller side for some owners but I see this as a great starter laptop or a second laptop if someone already has a desktop computer or higher end laptop and needs a lightweight one with enormous battery life as a backup. Yes, the battery life is impressive. I charge it up on the weekend in a couple of hours and it lasts me all week of off and on use. By Friday, my battery is seldom below 40 percent when I am ready to charge it again. It doesn't seem to drain when sleeping like older Intel processors did. It still blows my mind when I wake the device up on a Tuesday and it says 77 percent and 16 hours to go. Obviously battery life depends on use but it is impressive when purchasing I was hoping for 10 to 12 hours of dedicated use and see more than 10 hours to go still after a couple days of use. As you can see, I was very pleased with this purchase. My last Chromebook was a $600 HP 2n1 I got on a Christmas sale for $400. It was flawless and was configured with an Intel I5, 8gb of RAM and 64GB of storage and an even higher resolution screen. I gave the HP to my son who is using it as his main computer. The Lenovo C340 is a 11 inch version of the HP. Nice quality all around in a slightly smaller package and a good price even when not on sale.
