Customer Ratings & Reviews

As many people are/have been, I also was skeptical on buying this. But, because of this pandemic and the uncertainties of online learning or/of how long this nightmare is going to last, I decided to purchase this laptop for my 11 year old son for different reasons. 1. Reviews. I did a lot of research and this was one of the top laptops for its price range. I was able to get it during cyber Monday for $179. An absolute steal considering it’s specs 2. Specs. From what I’ve read, you’d want to look for something with 4gb ram to keep up with today’s world. A 2gb ram is not going to last long with today’s websites. The memory is plenty for what my son is using it for. The fact that it’s a touch screen and you can flip the screen all the way around is amazing. Especially for the price. I didn’t see any other laptops within this price range being able to do that 3. Battery life. My 11 year old forgets to plug it in ALL THE TIME! And yet, it always has plenty of battery life left. He’s not using it more than an hour or so a day. But still, it’s nice 4. Size. It really is a great size for a kid or an adult 5. Screen quality and speaker sound. If you’re expecting something that has crystal clear picture or theatre-like sound with this price range then you need to come back to reality. With that truth being said, the screen quality as exceeded my expectations and the sound is actually good. It would have the same quality as some $400+ computers that I’ve seen 6. You can zoom, and you can play online games and watch YouTube and Netflix. This shouldn’t be a huge deal, but for our family it is. When I spend money on another electronic device for one of my children, the first thing I ask is what all can it do? I need to be able to do educational things and entertain them, too, on a computer. This will do both. It handles everything fine and I haven’t seen anything run slow. He will have multiple things up and running and it doesn’t slow down. You can play Minecraft. You can play Roblox. You can even play Among Us. I would imagine Fortnite, too but we haven’t tried. I don’t know how well something like Fortnite would be, but all the other games do well on it. Even Khan Academy Kids runs fantastic on this I like the color on it. I like how it feels very sturdy, unlike most laptops out there. The hinge for the screen is really nice. It’s a solid device. I don’t understand why people don’t like this one or aren’t giving it better reviews. We own 3 other computers. Two $1400/each Acer laptops and a gaming PC. Our expectations for a cheap budget friendly laptop were not very high. This laptop is so nice on every subject! I have no complaints. I would love one for our 8 year old daughter. It’s easy to navigate, it’s got all the features most basic people need and the price you can’t beat. I would recommend this to anyone. I wouldn’t hesitate getting another.

It’s a basic laptop but it has many features I wasn’t expecting. Very easy to sign on for gmail and effortless to get your information and work on it as soon as you sign on. It is not high tech but the screen doesn’t hurt your eyes and that is a gift in itself. The foldable feature to make it a tablet is pretty cool too for a change. Touch screen is helpful specially when creating stuff. It’s like a mix between a surface touchscreen and light like an apple air but way cheaper and less complicated. I love and enjoy my laptop and my daughter too. We were also able to find the cover for the laptop and the keyboard on Amazon for a very convenient price.

Bought as a gift for my husband (for Christmas) and he Absolutely loves it!! It has many different features (including: being able to use it like a tablet) as well as a laptop. It’s also good for Zoom meetings and other things as well. And my husband likes it too, because he’s able to use it anywhere he would like, instead of just being stationed in one spot.

I bought this Chromebook as a backup. Lightweight/love its features.

I bought this Laptop to replace the older one that my Mom had that quit working not long ago and to go along with her iPad she has. Which she likes but prefers a laptop to do certain things. Setup was pretty easy for someone that is not a Tech genious, but can find their way around with a little help Best Buy (HelpLine) The one thing I don't like and it has nothing to do with the computer itself but if you want to use Microsoft Office you can't buy it Outright you have to pay a Yearly Fee which I thing Stinks. I also ended up buying a New Printer because the Brother Printer I had which is a couple years old and works fine with my Mac is Not compatible with the Chromebook so I ended up buying an Epson XP6100 which I was able to put together but Needed a little help in Setting up as far as it getting to see the Network and to be used by Both computer so BestBuy ( HelpLine ) was very Helpful. I was surprised to that you had to buy the Mouse Separate but I haven't made a Tech Purchased like this in a while. Overall now throw everything is Setup and working I am Satisfied with it.

I have had this computer for 5 years and no issues. It started off as a business start up computer and then I erased it and gave it to my son for school and games. No issues

I never used a Chromebook and although it’s different than a PC I’m slowly figuring it out. Might have something to do with me entering my 6th decade! It starts up quickly and gives me the ability to attend Zoom meeting, check email and access the Internet. Quite happy with this purchase!

First ZOOM IS WORKING i just checked. Second it’s very light.

Chrome book is so good and easy to used , so helpful for my schoolwork like student

Excellent device for the price love everything about it

Actually was a gift, but it turned into a memory I will always have. My daughter loves it.

Works very well its gets the job done runs smooth n quickly.

Looks nice and also works very well! Obviously because it was of low price, some of it’s functions are limited but it works good anyway!

More then I expected I like this brand of computers it's convenient for me.

Great for Middle school! My girl loves it! You guys are the best! We can't thank you enough.

It logs me out of the laptop and it's hard to turn off completely. Shipping was nice and carefully packaged. Timing was ok I guess the employee just gave me the wrong information on the delivery information.

This was purchased as a replacement for my HP Chromebook (when my foot caught the charging cord and it sadly was completely destroyed!)! I Google researched my options until my brain stopped working looking for a slightly better new Chromebook. This is where I finally ended my search and it was love at first use! Activated, all accounts up and running all apps installed! I was good as new again! IdeaPad Flex 3 was even better. Thin, solid, easy to operate and convertible. It's a large tablet and Chromebook style small laptop all in one. Fold flat, touch screen, touch mouse pad. Compact, lightweight, take everywhere I go and with a screen I could actually see. For 2.5 years it has been my second brain, helped handle my small business and I nowhere without it. Absolutely a great value for the money, plenty of storage, folds into tablet with seemless transition, fast running speeds and all chrome android across device linked info and access. I will be sticking with this series for my next device.

Bought this for my dad in 2021 and he LOVES IT! Will not stop talking about it. It folds, touchscreen, screen is big and has a keyboard as well. If I didn’t have a laptop already I would buy this one for school, really cool to use.

I bought this for my wife as a "daily driver" for checking email, internet, logging into her work site, etc. So far, she loves it. She only uses it as a laptop with the keyboard function, but it has the ability to be folded back and held vertical where it serves the purpose of a tablet. a keyboard shows up on the screen when you need to type something in. The touch screen is a nice option. This was $100 off when I purchased it so it was a really good deal. Comes with a 1 year warranty and free anti-virus (trial period) software as well, but I did not install that yet. I recommend this.

It's still "early days" as I learn the nuances and differences between Chromebook and Windows, but all is going smoothly. This is exactly the Lenovo CB I wanted. The screen resolution is very nice. I'm also impressed at the longevity of the battery between charges. The keyboard does get take getting used to when you are transitioning from a standard computer or notebook keyboard. There are no major obstacles to this but a bit of regular use helps ease the transition. The Lenovo is not my primary notebook/tablet but it certainly will be my traveling tablet in the future. Now, it's a notebook backup, e-reader, and beginners e-art canvass. If there has been any challenge to this Lenovo is that the information included with the Lenovo box is minimal at best. It took me quite a bit of online searching to find the EXACT match User's Manual. If you're new to Chromebooks, be aware that some familiar keys are missing from the streamlined Chromebook keyboard -- like the Home, Delete, and F-keys. Not to worry, many of those single-key functions can be achieved by combining 2 - 3 keys on the CB keyboard to execute a given function. Fortunately, more seasoned Chromebook users have generously compiled and posted "cheat sheets" for alternate key combinations to achieve the actions performed by now-missing keys from many/most Chromebook keypads. And speaking of key and touch pads, I like the touch and feel of the keyboard. I normally avoid touchpads as much as possible but I like, and am quickly getting used to, the Lenovo keyboard/touch pad. There is far less for basic users to do to access and shut down the Chromebook than with a standard notebook or PC. On most days, I open the lid and start working; at the end of the work day, I close the lid to put the CB into hibernate mode. This Lenovo is a great way to introduce non- or inexperienced computer users to the world of tablets and many basic uses like email, basic document creating, and surfing the Internet. My sister is a nearly hopeless laptop user but using her Lenovo Chromebook has reduced her tech stress level considerably. I cannot speak to how appealing this particular Lenovo will be to gamers or users who plan to watch plenty of streaming programs and movies as I do not use my Lenovo for these purposes. (However, I do stream YouTube materials and find the quality of picture is great for my viewing pleasure and comfort.) The sound quality is not great, but it certainly is good for most comfortable use. Finally, the price is right. This Lenovo Idea Pad meets all my small notebook needs and the most amazingly reasonable price.
