QuestionWhat covers/shells or cases are compatible with this model?

This question was asked about the related product: Lenovo - Flex 5i Chromebook Plus Laptop with Gemini - 14" 2K Touchscreen - Intel i3 1315U 2023 - 8GB RAM - 128GB SSD - Storm Grey
- Answer Lots of companies make nice "messenger" bags or backpacks that would hold &n protect a 14" laptop. I got one that is branded a Lenovo because it was a good price and just right. If you order a bag or case be sure it says it will work with 14" or larger. To be safe get one that says it fits a 15". I carry a mouse, mouse pad, stylus and the charging power supply in my case along with the laptop.

QuestionWhy does the on-screen keyboard keep turning itself on? I've tried all the suggestions on the internet, but no luck.
Asked 1 year ago by KG.
- Answer Hey KG, we're sorry to hear that you ran into this issue with your Chromebook. To try to resolve this, try doing a hardware reset (visit the following link to learn how to do so: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA), which reboots the embedded controller that manages your touchpad. If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to factory reset your Chromebook, which you can learn more about towards the bottom of the webpage tied to the previously embedded link.

Asked 1 year ago by theRoO.
- Answer Hey, theRoO. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble finding a solution for your needs. The Flex 5i Chromebook Plus does feature two USB-C ports that support DP 1.4 and power delivery. We recommend referencing this Google Chromebook webpage (https://www.google.com/chromebook/workswithchromebook/) that shares resources for finding accessories that are "Works With Chromebook" certified which should help you find a dock or hub that can connect via USB-C to your Chromebook and support power delivery for charging and output to two external monitors through one port.

QuestionI just purchased one of these for my 12 year old grand daughter. Since it only comes with a 128GB hard drive, I'm going to get her an external 2TB USB thumb drive / flash drive. My question... Does any thumb / flash drive work with this?
Asked 1 year ago by restoman.
- Answer Hey, restoman. Great question, and as a matter of fact, Google works with Best Buy to verify which products sold are "Works with Chromebook" certified. Here's a link to a Best Buy webpage (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/chromebook-accessories?qp=category_facet%3DHard%20Drives%2C%20SSD%20%26%20Storage~abcat0504001) with search results on certified external storage.
