Its expensive, but well worth it. Has everything I wanted in a chromebook. The display, and the keyboard are amazing. No hickups in use, does everything right and has a premium feel to it. Highly recommended.

Good size keyboard and screen. Lightweight and solid build. Bought as replacement for older Lenovo 11 inch model that had reached EOL. Impressive storage and ram.

am absolutely thrilled with the Lenovo Chromebook Plus. I specifically bought it for the built-in AI features and the 12-month Google Gemini Pro subscription, and in terms of performance, it's a huge upgrade. The speed and functionality blow my old Windows laptop out of the water, and the transition to ChromeOS was surprisingly easy.
However, the "Open-Box Excellent" purchase from Best Buy was a disaster. Buyers must be aware: The 12-month Google AI promo ($240 value) had already been redeemed by the original owner. This offer is tied to the hardware, so once it's claimed, it's gone for good.
To make matters worse, trying to resolve this was an ordeal. I wasted over two hours with customer service, was transferred six different times, and had two calls "accidentally" dropped by support, which all felt very deliberate.
Best Buy's "Open-Box Excellent" condition description nowhere states that advertised software promos are excluded. Despite all that hassle, they still refused to offer any price adjustment or compensation for the lost $240 value.
The Laptop: 5 Stars. A powerhouse.
Best Buy Open-Box: 0 Stars. Misleading and abysmal customer service.
I would recommend this Chromebook to anyone—just make sure you buy it new or get written confirmation that the promo is intact.

If the screen just had better resolution, and 120 refresh rate this would have been the perfect Chromebook. As it is it's still very solid and fast with great battery life. But it could have been great. The keyboard has great travel and is very responsive, the screen is bright, and for Chromebook the speakers are really good. I like the texture on the bottom, it helps the computer not to slip. Probably the best Chromebook since my Samsung Galaxy 4K.

I am incredibly happy with my Lenovo Chromebook Plus. This is hands down the best Chromebook I've ever used. The display is gorgeous, and the performance is snappy. What truly sets it apart for me is the Linux environment, which has genuinely allowed me to replace my MacBook for most of my daily tasks. This Chromebook is a fantastic value and a real productivity powerhouse.

An excellent machine but I got a lemon

I really loved this machine. It has topnotch specs. A fast powerful processor, 16 gigs of memory, 256 gigs of storage, a fingerprint reader, an OLED touch screen (which was a bit small for my tastes but not a deal breaker) and awesome audio. But from the start there were issues with driving an external display via USB-C. It would periodically blank out. I replaced the cable several times and eventually the monitor itself but still had the same problems. I finally sent it in for repair and after a motherboard and usb-c board swap the display issues were gone. BUT during the repair something happened to break whatever it is in the machine that enables DRM to function properly. I could no longer play protected video. I sent it back in for repair. The supposedly fixed machine still had the problem. I sent it in for repair for a third time. When it came back the original external display problem had come back with a vengeance (now the display would not show an image at all rather than just blanking out now and then) AND the DRM problem still wasn't fixed. Discouraged, I escalated the issue to customer service. I really wanted a replacement but there weren't any available so I had to settle for a refund. So all in all this is a great machine, if you get a good one.

I have been a Chromebook user for many years. I purchased this Lenovo to replace an old Asus Chromebook whose battery would no longer hold charge. My old Asus was "top of the line" when I bought it, with an Intel i5 and 8mb ram. I thought it was fast. Then I fired up this Lenovo. Now I know what fast is. Another bonus is the MediaTek chip inside. It is more efficient than Intel chips and requires no cooling fan.

I’ve usually have avoided chromebooks in the past due to their inherent limitations but was willing to give this one a try being a Lenovo product. It’s been ok but not overwhelmingly better than what even a refurbed M1 MacBook would offer. Yes it has touch but that’s not an important thing for me. I was looking for something with OLED display and affordable to take on the go to the coffee shop and not be overly concerned if it got broke or stolen. For the same price I could have got a macboook air and been happier. It has some quirky behavior where it looses mouse and audio over Bluetooth. The touchscreen aspect I just find annoying.
On the plus side: the OLED screen is nice.
As a device for media content consumption it is great. YouTube plays great. The onboard speakers are phenomenal. The built in camera is fantastic. Tight integration with Google Docs, and other Google products like Gemini, etc is great.
Bottomline: would i recommend it. For the casual user already familiar with chromebooks and their limitations, perhaps. Yes, I take it to the coffee shop and can do basics, consume media, etc, and is a step up from a low end Acer Chromebook. But I come back to does the price point warrant this compared to what you could get with a MacBook Air? I don’t think so. Even if you were to get a new MacBook Air for slightly more $$ you’d be getting a more versatile device with longer term value. I’ll be keeping the Lenovo Chromebook and make the best of it, but in hindsight it was a mistake to get this over a MacBook Air.

Wow, this is a great computer, and as a Chromebook, it's unequaled. The price is up there, but its internals and fast processor speed justify the price. The weight/portability is also great.

I've tried all the Chromebook plus is this hands down the best one out at the moment. My favorite part is the beautiful screen and how quiet it is. I don't ever hear a fan running.

Great machine, working almost flawless have run into one reproducible problem regarding pass keys so far on most pass key checks while trying to log into a website. The machine locks up and has to be hard rebooted, holding out hope a update will fix this.
Otherwise perfect for my uses in my business.

Wonderful upgrade from one of the latest high end ASUS Chromebooks. Way better battery life, way better screen, way better sound, and way better performance. Also, the year free of Gemimi Pro is worth about $240 and makes the whole experience with this machine even better.

I am very pleased with this Chromebook Plus by Lenovo. The review I saw on Chromebook Unboxed on YouTube convinced me to buy it. The service from Best Buy was great. I got it in 2 days time and it was well packaged. I use it at home for everyday tasks and for streaming movies and tv .

Finally a replacement for the much loved Pixelbook. This Laptop has a very similar feel but is much faster!
Probably one of the fastest laptops I've used yet. Super nice machine in all aspects.
I use PCs at work but decently specced Chromebooks are a much more pleasant experience. Practically zero maintenance, just works, fast, great battery life and when I close the lid I can count on it resuming with the same battery level.
Just buy this computer even if you're tempted by a PC at a similar price. You won't regret it.
