Lenovo - Yoga C630 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB eMMC Flash Memory - Midnight Blue

Hello, I am totally sold on the Lenovo C630 Chromebook. When I first looked at it at Best Buy, I was basically looking at some cheaper HP and Samsung models, just to test out and learn on. But the Customer Service agent "Steve" did a great job of working with me and possibly giving me the feedback that I needed to make this purchase. I initially looked at the battery life as a concern because most of the cheaper systems were stating above 12 hours of battery life, while the Lenovo only showed up to 10 hours. After taking the product home, I guess during the first week or so, this Lenovo C630 Chromebook averaged over 12 hours every time. A few times I took screenshots, because it was getting all the way up to 17:30. That was when I forwarded my screenshots to Lenovo. I also went back to the Best Buy store and "Steve" was hoping nothing was wrong with the device, to his complete amazement, he was totally delighted to hear the excellent functionality of the device. The device is really fast and has a lot of features. I really did and do like the Bluetooth 4.1 option for me to hear other than the built in speakers. The speakers are okay, just that they are on the bottom, and an external bluetooth speakers just enhances the video and audio playback greatly. My only downside to this unit is, it does not come with a "Backlit Keyboard" and if you like your product the way it is out of the box, for heaven sake "DO NOT RUN THE UPDATE" !!! If you are into the Goth aspect, then it won't matter, but if you like the Clean setup that Lenovo ships the product as, don't click on restart for update. The Core i5 processor with the onboard 128gb of storage, and the I/O's upgrade ability of the Micro SD card, there is a lot of room for improvement. I recently purchased an additional 512gb sd card to put in it along with purchasing an external WD Pro Passport Wireless Storage Device, and an Altec Bluetooth External speaker, that synced right up. The setup is pretty much straight forward, and after a month I am super happy with this device. Like I said, if it had Backlit Keys, It would have gotten 5 stars. Enjoy

I’m kind of a screen nerd. like the screen on this one. Gets just bright enough. Color is excellent. Good contrast. I had the Chromebook x360 14 inch and found that display to be dim, drab and colorless. I hated it. But this one is enjoyable. I also like the bigger 15.6 size. Really expands your real estate when you go into settings and display and change the scaling. The speakers are meh. I do wish, for such a big laptop, why not put some good speakers in here? They're downward firing and don't sound great. Dialogue might be better than music. The keyboard feels and looks good but needs more travel but I’m getting used to it. The trackpad is very good. Very smooth and scrolls fast. Very responsive. Touchscreen is great but it does wobble a bit when you poke it - probably because it’s a yoga. The build quality is excellent. Feels premium because it is. Sleek and fits in a business environment. Performance: You won’t be able to slow this down. It’s got ample processing power and memory. Decent selection of ports. It’s also a helluva deal if you can get it on sale or open box. I got mine for under $500 open box. Summary: I really like this laptop. It makes a great desktop replacement. I setup my Windows desktop for Chrome Remote Desktop and I can remote into when I need to to manage it for Plex. I enjoy the quickness and simple interface of ChromeOS. I get sick of Windows and enjoy using other operating systems. I hope ChromeOS continues to grow because I believe in and support cloud computing. Great laptop!

It’s a wonderful computer for the price but after about a year of owning it for college it didn’t hold. For example it would glitch a lot and it got a lot slower I understand things get worst as time go on but it got a lot slower. What I like about the computer was the size I like big screens because I watch a lot of videos and movies but the storage is not a lot. Overall it an okay laptop but if you want something long term I wouldn’t consider it.

This is the first time I've owned and worked on a Chomebook. At the beginning it was confusing because is slightly different than a windows. I gotta im surprise and happy with my decision. Lightweight, super functional with touchscreen and flip screen. Absolutely love my Lenovo Yoga Chromebook. Recommended

Chromebooks are pretty amazing and after Google introduced their idea of a premium device many others have followed in suit. This Yoga chromebook is pretty great and I am glad that I have it. It is a step up from my previous device which had just half the specs this Yoga has to offer. That being said lets have a detailed look into the Lenovo Yoga chromebook 15.6. :::Hardware::: The Yoga CB has a lot to offer the screen is a FHD touchscreen display that has great colors and is a great size at 15.6. While this display size may be too big for some it is just right for those who have visual impairments. An 8th generation Intel i5 Quad core CPU is under the hood and oh boy is this fast. I was unable to slow down this Yoga CB no matter what I was doing thanks to the 8GB of DDR 4 Ram that works in tandem with the i5. As far as storage goes there is 128GB of on board storage. I really appreciate that because of the ability to install android apps they do tend to take up a lot of disk space due to the constant app updates. I put in a 128GB micro SD card and that just adds more storage who doesn't like having expandable storage? You will find a full size USB 3.0 port, & two USB C ports and a headphone jack. The Yoga CB is crafted out of Aluminum and is a little heavier when compared to other CB.It is 4lbs and you definitely feel how hefty this CB is in the hand. The Aluminum feels great but is somewhat of a finger print magnet. Dual band Wi-Fi is available, and Wireless AC speeds which are awesome should your home network support it. I have managed to get 8 to 8 & 1/2 hours of battery life with my mixed use.It is great not having to be tethered to a charger all the time.With the recent update to Chrome OS you now have access to a few features such as "Night Light" which is easier on your eyes in the night hours which essentially does away with blue light. Keyboard and track pad are solid. There is a good amount of travel on the full sized keyboard and the keys do not stick but they are loud though but that doesn't really bother me. What did bother me is the fact that the keyboard is not backlit. Speakers are down firing and are located under the CB. That is not such a bad thing but I suppose my Lenovo Yoga book with the sound bar spoiled me as I now prefers that speakers not be in the bottom of my devices. The speakers are plenty loud and sound good I keep it at about 50-65%. The web cam is decent I rarely find myself ever using it. :::Pros & Cons::: Pros: - Fast 8th generation Intel i5 - Generous 128GB of storage - Fast DDR 4 2400 RAM - FHD display is has good colors and is bright enough for me. - Expandable storage - Aluminum body Cons: - No backlit keyboard TL:DR This Yoga CB is a solid device no one can deny that. It is fast and has great hardware as far as CPU, RAM and memory goes. I love my Yoga I only found one minor thing that I did not like. This is comparable to the Pixel line of Chrome books but at a better price. While this CB is a little big and heavy it is still something I recommend you consider if you like 15 inch devices.

I’ve been a steady macOS user for many years now. My main computer has been the 2016 MacBook Pro for the past couple of years now and while I end up using a Windows machine at work and sometimes a Windows machine at home for various tasks, macOS is my standard operating system of choice. With that said, I do enjoy learning other systems and exploring what different operating systems have to offer. I’ve been most intrigued with Chromebooks since that system makes you operate almost entirely ‘in the cloud’. A few years ago, I had the opportunity to use a Lenovo Yoga laptop and so when the option to try out the Lenovo C630 Chromebook, I jumped at it. Lenovo makes a solid machine and I was eager to test it out. STYLE: The laptop feels awesome. The keyboard is responsive and the body of the computer is substantial. The laptop does have a bit of weight to it, but it looks sleek and it is still quite portable. PERFORMANCE: I will typically run a benchmarking software with a new system, but because the Chromebook is web-based, I was unable to install anything to check any benchmarking scores. I did end up finding an online option for benchmarking called Octane. There was a note on the website that mentioned that Octane had been discontinued and even though I was able to get a score from it, I’m not sure how accurate the score is or where it makes the system stand up against other laptops. I ran several apps and used the cloud-based apps (Google Docs, etc.) for several hours and found that the Chromebook was blazing fast. The system was very responsive and didn’t hesitate to do anything I asked it to do. BATTERY LIFE: I have been very happy with the battery’s performance. While I haven’t used the laptop for 10 hours straight yet, I have used it for several hours at a time and found that power wasn’t a problem. TOUCHSCREEN: While I really enjoy having the touchscreen as an option, it is not very practical for tasks other than scrolling and drawing. It is quite responsive, and I would even liken it to an iPad’s touch screen, but typing on it just isn’t very practical. Overall, the Lenovo Yoga C630 is a very capable laptop. I really love how the ChromeOS makes you rethink how your workflow is structured. I love utilizing cloud services and a Chromebook definitely makes you rethink that.

The Lenovo - Yoga C630 2-in-1 15.6" Touch-Screen Chromebook - Intel Core i5 - 8GB Memory - 128GB eMMC Flash Memory - Midnight Blue offers amazing power, usability, productivity, and accessibility all without being bogged down by a painful window-based OS. This Google OS Chromebook is fast and responsive, yet versatile enough to take on most of your computing needs. PERSONAL INSIGHTS I have always been reluctant to engage the Chromebook or Google OS due to so many applications and software being exclusively available on a MS OS. I was pleasantly surprised with the overall performance and accessability with this Yoga and how quick and responsive it was when I first turned it on. Complete 180 from the MS computer bog down that is typical for these systems. I liked the versitility of the Yoga having a laptop mode, tablet mode, and a hybrid as a tent display. The touch screen is easy to use and responsive, yet fingerprints will likely be a running issue. It is of solid construction, metal, compared to many competing devices which are primarily made of plastic and cheap feeling. PROS - Solid construction and design - Fast, Responsive OS - Google Play apps abound and most are free to use - Versitile designs allow for multiple uses - Lenovo name and quality - Huge 15.6" display with minimal bezel - Intel Core i5 is more than sufficient to power everything you can throw at it - 8GB RAM is fast and responsive - 128GB Flash memory is nearly instantaneous when accessing information stored on your Yoga - Micro SD slot lets to instantly expand your onboard storage - Cloud storage makes this devise torage limited only by your choice CONS - I am not a fan of the UBS-C type power cord and plug. I can foresee this being a problem and breaking with heavy usage. - Price seems a bit high for a Chromebook OVERALL An excellent device with tons of upward potential and long-term useage.

To provide a little context, I am a MacBook Pro user for my main workstation, and I have purchased this chromebook for a secondary laptop for going to the Cafe, doing light work. I was looking for good performance, screen, and battery life. This laptop sure does deliver. The body is a solid piece of aluminum and honestly feels about the same as a MacBook Pro 15 for 4X less (Very impressive). i5, 8GB of ram combined with the light Chrome OS just absolutely blazes, this thing is an absolute beast in performance, feels as fast as a quad core i7 windows laptop due to it running chrome. Trackpad is super accurate not sticky. The keyboard is tactile with great feedback, not mushy and actually feels better than my 2018 MacBook Pro. It is not backlit but really not a big deal considering everything else this has it is worth the trade off. Speakers are okay not facing upwards. Color is not flashy but it has a nice finish. Weight is just over 4 pounds so not the heaviest thing, but not your ultra portable. This is about standard 15 inch weight. The display is great, not the brightest ever, but still very good and 1080 is enough for a laptop like this. Not everything is perfect though and the cons are this; not class leading chromebook battery life (this is due to the processor being much faster than most, therefore requiring more power) the body attracts a ton of finger oil and you will notice it from the first day you start using it. Some android apps are not properly optimized (but this goes for all chromebook) All in all, this is the best chromebook you can get if you want power, premium, and good design. Nothing even comes close in performance. Skip the Acer Spin 15, Dell inspiron 14 had both and both don't even come close to the Yoga overall. Good luck deciding hope this helped!
