Customer Ratings & Reviews

This operating system is aweful. I return it the same day I got it

Highly recommend for other students who mostly use Google for school work. Such a great laptop. It’s light, the battery lasts all day if fully charged, and the touchscreen aspect is so handy! Also, the 360 degree hinge is very useful when you want to convert your computer experience into a tablet one. The price is worth all the great and simple features this chrome book contains.

I see lines across the screen; the initial one month was good.

Very Limited In It’s Capacity, Not Compatible With Apple Products

Froze many times,not capable of connecting to any wifi/web

Black Friday Special. Purchased two of these for my kids. Both use Chromebooks at school and are required to complete homework via internet. My wife's laptop is taped together from their poor handling and now they both need to complete homework at the same time so my laptop has been in danger. Not to mention all the junk that has found its way on my laptop from kid internet game sites. To my knowledge my "real" Levenovo Thinkpad has fallen off the table onto the floor at least once and several times had the power yanked out via tripping on the power cord. They aren't allowed to have the charger anymore... So this was a purchase to protect my laptop. The chromebook can reach the internet and do basic stuff. It is not fast, but does have a touchscreen. At the Black Friday price this is an amazing deal. Full MSRP of $279 is a little rich for this guy. I would be ok at $225-$250 because of the below issues. This appears to be a white version of the 300e. I'm not sure if it is spill resistant. It does lack ports, I would have like a 2nd USB-A & 2nd USB-C ports on the other side as well. There should always be 2x USB-A ports, one for a jumpdrive and one for a mouse. I've not plugged in a full size SD card yet, but other reviewers have said they stick out. Which sounds odd to me. Just something to double check if you are planning to leave it plugged in.

This and chrome OS is a wonderful reassessment of what it means to own a computer - it doesn’t need to be expensive or do everything, or have the newest parts to be innovative. To Lenovo’s credit, the keyboard and track pad are wonderful- the keyboard is better than any other I’ve had in my house including the latest MacBook. For Best Buy, thanks for honoring the price match. If you’re an average word processing and web person, there is no reason to buy a $1000+ computer (or a tablet). This travels well, has a great battery life, boots up in seconds, you get 100gb cloud storage for two years for free right now. What’s not to like?

I bought this computer mainly for school use, though also for some light video watching and it has quickly turned into my most used device. It easily converts from a laptop to a tablet, and functions very well in both forms. Keyboard is decent quality, screen is crisp, and it moves along as fast as you could want. I've had it for a few months now and haven't had any issues or slowdown, a rarity in this price range I've found. ' If you're looking for a cheap tablet replacement, or a new laptop for school/work then look no further.

This computer has been wonderful and has held up through my rough working conditions.

Best computer ever !! It has lasted me 5 years wwith no problems

Great Chromebook. Small, light, and simple. Easy to use.

I was sick of long boot times so thought I would try a Chrome machine. The Good: I love the concept of the 2:1, and it works slick on pure internet and most google applications. I also love how it turns on in moments versus the eternal Windows startup I've used my entire life. Battery life is much, much better than a Windows laptop. The compact size is great. The Bad: Unfortunately, I am in a family of 6 and need Office support plus the more robust storage. If you use OneDrive or need Office tools, this machine is not for you. Even on regular applications, the machine will occasionally bog down and need restarted. Finding and using files in OneDrive is next to impossible, as is keeping the files organized. It hates streaming onto the television via the HDMI cable. Conclusion. I am hardly a power user, but I need to use a simple spreadsheet or word document now and then. And all of my files and photos have migrated to OneDrive - I could not migrate to Chrome if I wanted. I realize most of the above is about software rather than the machine, but I bought the machine to use and the software incompatibilities make the machine a paperweight at this point. I am going to have to go back to a Windows machine. Shame.

First I did not like that the screen is pretty small. But as I use this chromebook more, I did not feel uncomfortable at all. It is so light that you can carry it anywhere. Once connected to the internet, it is so faster than any window or mac laptop that I have used. I totally recommend this product!!

Check temperature of laptops running demo in a BB store. You will quickly notice that Lenovo is the coolest one. This 2-in-1 laptop is also very light. Connecting laptop's room temperature, weight, speed and chrome's capability, you can do a lot of computing in any scenario: keeping the laptop on your laps, or in bed, or on kitchen table. Very positively surprised.

I am a grad student online. I have a full featured laptop as is required by my university, but I also wanted a cheaper more rugged alternative that I can throw in my purse and use while I'm at Starbucks or something. This Lenovo Chromebook is perfect. I am able to use Microsoft Office apps like Word, Excel, and Powerpoint. Granted you can't create any huge presentations like you could with a Windows or Mac, but this Chromebook is totally capable if you need to write reports, create simple spreadsheets, and quick slideshows. Graphics aren't the greatest but that's not really what this is for. I like how it's touchscreen because I actually prefer that over using the trackpad. Keys are easy to type on. Keep in mind this is a smaller notebook so if you're used to having larger keyboards, it will take a bit to get used to. The keyboard isn't backlit, which is probably the only thing that really bums me out about this Chromebook. All of that being said, I don't think it's really worth the full price of $279. I got it for about $100 less during a sale, so I'd suggest waiting around for another similar sale.

I wanted a laptop that I could bring to classes to take notes, and do homework on, and this is perfect! It does have a pretty small screen, but is lightweight and easy to carry around. It connects to Wi-Fi easily, and the touch screen is nice. The only complaint I have is that the sound isn't that great, but I still recommend this laptop!

Before purchasing this chromebook...I had a laptop at home that was good for everyday use at home but a tad bit slow. I needed a compromise that I could bring around to work meetings, and find a joy again in using the internet without bringing my smartphone around everywhere. This purchase excelled my needs. It is not an ordinary laptop as it runs on chromebook OS...but it definately does the job. I downloaded Word apps from the Chromebook store, and although I am an Apple user of IOS...I have adapted nicely to the needs of my job and the chrome/google drive user. If you are purchasing this to surf the web, check emails, app downloads, and simply to connect to the interent without lugging around a heavier device...you will not be disappointed!...I even bought accessories for the keyboard and laptop cover to jazz it up a notch from "the marketplace" :-)

4 years later and the chromebook still works great! It's worn down now due to normal wear & tear but the system functions like its new. no lag

Had never owned this brand before but, it's been great. No crashes, stalls like the HP Chromebook. Love the touch screen and the speed, it's great.

I purchased 2 of these chrome books for my tweens this Christmas and liked them so much I went back and purchased one for myself. Fast speed, easy to use. Might purchase another one as a gift.
