Q: No mention of the fingerprint reader on the website description. It is on the version that is being sold on the Lenovo website. Does the Best Buy version have it?

A: Hi tony, The Chromebook Plus 14 does feature a touch-style fingerprint reader on the palm rest. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

Q: Why does this say 12 hours battery life in the specs section and 10 hours and up to 17 hours in the details section. Most consumers would like to know which it is?

A: Your mileage may vary based on many factors, mine has mostly hinged on screen brightness and how intensive the CPU is utilized. Per Lenovo: Battery life based on Google PowerQual V2 controlled web browsing tests on pre-production units running 135.16209.50.0 version. Actual battery life may vary based on factors like network conditions, location, settings, and usage.

Q: How far back does the display tilt?

A: Definitely not out flat--probably about 150 degrees

Q: Since this Chromebook lacks a MicroSD slot, will a Type-C MicroSD card reader be compatible with it? I'm also concerned about whether this will install the "Linux/crostini" environment.

A: I've had mine for 3 weeks, and it is a terrific Chromebook. Yes, you can use external disc drives, SSD drives, SD Cards etc. by connecting them to the USB-C ports or using a USB hub that's connected to the Chromebook. I've enabled Crostini Linux, and installed several apps including Firefox-ESR, the full LibreOffice suite. GIMP photo editor, and some Linux utilities (file manager etc.) So far it works great given that this Chromebook has 16Gb RAM. (finally!) I also really like the low power consumption and thus fan-less design for quiet and low heat.

Q: Given that this is not an INTEL processor, can this Chromebook run a credible Linux environment in Crostini? At long last, a Chromebook with a native 16Gb of RAM and enough "disc" space to actually do things in Linux too! MAYBE ...

A: I bought this Chromebook, so I can answer my own question: Yes, the Crostini Linux container runs great given this is a Chromebook that (FINALLY!) is configured with 16Gb of RAM. I have yet to encounter a Linux app that does not run on an ARM processor (vs Intel) I use LibreOffice, Gimp photo editor, Dolphin file manager, and Firefox-ESR browser so far. All run very fast.

Q: Is there a built-in Titan chip on the laptop?

A: Hey John, The Chromebook Plus features a Google Security Chip H1. Please feel free to reach out to us with any other questions!

    Fanless and Powerful Work Machine

    Pros: I'm glad we finally have an ARM-based Chromebook Plus. The MediaTek processor on this Chromebook is completely fanless, silent and power efficient while being faster and more powerful than previous MediaTek processors. You can easily go an entire work day without charging, since the battery life lasts over 10 hours with moderate use. The unit has a backlit keyboard and a 14-inch touchscreen that is a bright 400-nits. Another perk is the 16 GB of RAM which allows you to run as many tabs as possible and comfortably run Android apps and some Linux apps side by side without taxing the system. There is a fingerprint reader for extra security, a camera privacy shutter, two USB-C ports, a headphone port, and a USB-A port. The speakers are decent upfiring speakers. Like most Chromebooks, boot-up is almost instant and since I mostly use web apps (Google Docs, Zoom, Meet, Microsoft Office 365, Discord, Google Keep, and WhatsApp), it makes a fast productivity and office machine. The web apps feel like regular apps since they open in their own separate window as PWAs. Cons: Some web apps like Zoom unfortunately have less features than their desktop counterparts (but still work well), such as annotation during share mode. Another downside is that it doesn't run Steam (which runs on some Intel-based Chromebook Plus machines), but this is mostly due to the ARM processor. At the end of the day, as long as you know ChromeOS' strengths (lightweight, secure and speedy) and limitations (no heavy apps or gaming), it makes for a great machine that I find myself using more often than my PC or Mac.

    Solid Chromebook

    I bought the Lenovo Chromebook Plus because I went into Microsoft Windows 30-day purgatory for inaccurate identification when installing Microsoft Windows on my newly purchased Lenovo yoga aura edition laptop. I am way older than the Chromebook -school era. I have been using dos and windows for 40 years but was forced out of Windows by Microsoft for 30 days. I decided to buy the Chromebook plus as an interim solution and maybe a permanent solution if Microsoft did not allow me back into Windows. I really enjoy using the Chrome OS after Windows, it does take some time to get used to but I think it is worth it. I finally made it back into Windows so I may buy a Windows laptop, but for now I want to learn more about the Chrome OS. I love the ability to use tactile touch on the screen as well as using the integral keyboard. It has great security measures. I think everything is encrypted on the device and when it goes to and is stored off device. I understand that If someone were to take the hard drive off the device and install it on an identical Chromebook, the encryption would still remain and data would be secure. My Chromebook has pin, password, and fingerprint security. I like that.

    Dare I say it? The best Chromebook you can buy

    It's amazing how far Chromebooks have came. Throughout the years, I have had the opportunity to explore a variety of Chromebooks across different platforms, ranging from Google's own Pixelbooks to HP and other devices, but this particular model distinguishes itself from all of those in so many ways. Dare I say it, Lenovo and Google may have created the perfect Chromebook. This thing excels across virtually every category of what a Chromebook is supposed to be. What exactly is a chromebook supposed to be, you may ask? Well, think of a chromebook as a minimal, yet powerful Macbook Air that does the daily tasks efficiently, easily and well. Sure, a Chromebook may not play your favorite game on Steam or help you edit a mass amount of photography photos, but other than those GPU intense tasks, a Chromebook is supposed to make everything else much easier. And this one does. ChromeOS is a minimal, yet robust OS that was built from the ground up to be easy to navigate. Starting with the build quality, it feels exceptionally high-end. The laptop is not only lightweight but also crafted in an efficient way, avoiding any awkward hinges or cheap-looking shapes and textures that often plague lesser models. It's not trying to win any style awards. Instead it's trying to up the quality not seen in Chromebook before. The keyboard offers a satisfying typing experience with clear tactile feedback, optimal key depth, and a backlighting feature that makes it convenient for late-night sessions. The trackpad is both responsive and smooth, steering clear of the tinny or hollow sensations that are frequently associated with budget laptops priced under $1,000. Speaking of price. This is $750, which does seem like it would be steep for a Chromebook, but the difference between the quality in this and my son's $200 HP Chromebook is night and day. And that's across every single category. Think about it this way: if you are happy with a $1000 laptop, that's great. But know that if you had the chance to go with a $2,500-3000 laptop, you would notice a lot of difference in quality, and that's the same idea here with a $750 Chromebook. Or if that comparison doesn't work for you, compare this thing with a MacBook Air. Both machines are powerful, but only one has the quality and power to outperform their asking price. When it comes to audio, the speakers deliver an impressively robust sound profile, hitting a fine balance between depth and clarity while maintaining good volume levels without distortion. While they may not completely match the audio fidelity found in a robus laptop, they still offer a notably superior experience for most users. This is especially true when compared to a tablet. The display, another standout feature, is an OLED panel that provides vibrant colors, deep blacks, and outstanding contrast. It achieves sufficient brightness for outdoor use in direct sunlight, although optimal visibility is maintained in indoor or shaded conditions. The resolution is at 2K. And that is where you'll find the one and only con (which isn't too big of a concern to me thanks to the great screen). We all love resolution, and once you experience 4K OLED or even 2.5-3K OLED, you may notice that 2K could be improved. But like I said, with the true blacks, vibrant colors, the OLED technology makes this a screen you won't complain about on its own. It offers 12 hours or more of battery life even under heavy usage, showcasing exceptional power management capabilities, thanks in large part to the powerful ARM chip that competes closely with Apple’s M-series processors. The laptop’s most outstanding qualities are undoubtedly its performance and battery life. Equipped with 16 GB of RAM and a high-speed MediaTek ARM chip, the laptop handles demanding tasks with ease. You will not have to worry about any slowdown with this machine. If you're an avid abuser of open windows you don't close, then you'll be enabled to keep doing you with this thing. ChromeOS, offers a clean, uncluttered user interface designed for maximum productivity and it shines with this powerful Chromebook. As with any Chromebook, the set-up process is super easy and quick. You'll be enjoying this thing within just a few minutes. If you're looking for either a productivity machine that can also be a great entertainment tool, but don't want to fork over $2K+ for a powerful traditional laptop, you will be happy with this Lenovo Chromebook Plus machine. It does everything you need it to do (unless you're a professional photographer or gamer).
