Lenovo - S345-14AST 14" Touch-Screen Chromebook - AMD A6-Series - 4GB Memory - AMD Radeon R5 - 32GB eMMC Flash Memory - Platinum Gray

I purchased two of these laptops so that my daughters would have their own Chromebooks instead of those issued by the school. They're a step up from the school models--14" versus 11", backlit keyboard, etc. I think the build quality of the S345-14AST is very good. ChromeOS is super easy to use. No issues finding a WiFi signal or setting up. The AMD A6 chip combined with 4GB RAM seems to be more than adequate for high school level multitasking. I like that the 32GB eMMC storage can be expanded with a micro SD card. I did post a Question about the webcam, which is listed at 720p HD. Lenovo states that the S345-14AST ships with a 720p HD camera (as does Best Buy's advertisement) but in the standard Chrome "Camera" application, the only choice for resolution is SD 480p (see picture). Perhaps that's a limitation of the app, but it feels misleading somehow. 480p is a step up from the school models as well, but I was hoping for better given the advertisement. Otherwise, I'm very pleased with this double purchase.

I bought two of these Chromebooks anticipating my 14 year old daughters would not be attending school for awhile (Covid-19). The girls absolutely love them. They unpackaged the product and set everything up on their own. I didn’t have to figure anything out for them. They have used them for classroom discussions (zoom) without any issues. Great purchase and they are happy!

I picked this up to become familiar with ChromeOS for a work project. I've owned ThinkPads over the years and believe that this Chromebook exhibits the same high build quality as my previous IBM and Lenovo laptops. This unit's screen is bright and high-resolution and the keyboard feels great. I'm very happy with my purchase. And ChromeOS is cool, too.

I bought this Chrome Book for my son to have a dedicated device for school. So, let's just say that we're about 2 weeks into 'distance learning' and the device is holding up better than we are. It has enough power to support all the Zoom call features, Google classroom, and myriad supporting apps. It accesses pages quickly and he's able to get his work done. If only our home network were working as well... I do wish that Chrome made it easier to disable native features like Google Hangouts and YouTube which are major distractions.

After having a dell laptop for 7 years , i decided to go with a chromebook due to only neededing it for surfing, games & shopping. Great choice

Great Chromebook. Purchased for our granddaughter who like many students are homebound and dial in for access to a teacher. It has performed well, easy to set up, and very reliable. The processor keeps the working flowing with no delay. The touch screen is a welcomed component and assists with easy operation. All and all, a very good choice.

no problems while having a few tabs opened but if you want multiple screens and have zoom/ any other video conference it will freeze the screen and then give a message that cpu is high even when only one tab is open. it serves a basic purpose but not thrilled with the performance.

Great little chromebook for school kids. I bought this during the covid school shutdowns. It has good specs along with a responsive touch screen. My kid uses it for his school's distant learning and for browsing the web. We have no complaints.
