A:AnswerHey Tree,
Yes, you should simply be able to pair the Bluetooth mouse with the Flex 5i Chromebook Plus via system settings, or even more quickly, using Quick Settings by selecting the bottom right of the screen (in the shelf).

A:AnswerThe AI stuff is optional. You don't need to delete or disable anything, just don't use the AI features of any app, including the Chrome browser.
A:AnswerLots 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.
A:AnswerHi Cheo,
Storage could be upgraded if you remove the preinstalled storage and add a 1TB M.2 2242 SSD.

A:AnswerHey 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.
A:AnswerHi, Jamiegirl. The Flex 5i Chromebook Plus was first launched in late 2023, but the month and year of the specific laptop you would receive will vary since this model continues to be manufactured.
A:AnswerHey, Ed. In short, no. The Chromebook devices use USI pens, and the current selection of Lenovo USI pens are strictly powered by AAAA batteries.
A:AnswerHey, 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.
A:AnswerHey, 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.
A:AnswerHey, rose. What we can say is that the 2W stereo speakers were optimized to give a well-rounded, adequate audio experience, but we encourage other users of the Flex 5i that may be able to, to shed light on their opinion of the sound.
A:AnswerHey, based off the system requirements that are listed on this LibreOffice webpage (https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/), upon brief review, whether or not this software is supported on Chromebooks or ChromeOS devices is inconclusive. To review the information yourself, we recommend reviewing the system requirements detailed on the previously linked webpage, then comparing it with the specifications this Flex 5i or any potential computer you’re interested in to help ensure you find the right fit for you.
