This Chromebook is perfect. It's sleek design, prestige finish and stylish color sets it apart. I love that its touch screen and can be completely folded to double as a tablet. The blue color is nice and the price is right!

The only complaint I have is that there's no Ethernet port, so you can hard-wire the internet to your computer. I also tried to install a driver on here for my Canon printer, but it's not compatible with Chromebook programming. Come on Google I know you can do better.

Got for Christmas and it’s the day after Valentine’s Day and the computer is wonky with a pixelated screen that flashes like strobing. Extremely disappointed since it’s just past when I can return it. A product should work longer than just a month and a half. Absolutely ridiculous

Hello, AmberT, we are sorry to hear that you encountered an issue with your Flex 3 Chromebook. In advance, this is a lengthy response, however we want to give you and other readers of this response as much information as possible to help ensure your issue is resolved should you encounter something similar in the future. If you are still having this issue, first, we recommend doing a reset on the device. Pushing the power button, or rebooting, does not remove the trickle charge that keeps the embedded controller (EC) running. A hard reset drops all power to the EC, so when the power comes back on it goes through a reinitialization. Since the EC controls the keyboard, touchpad, battery, and all other on-board peripherals, performing this it can potentially fix a wide range of problems. The procedure is detailed on this web page: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en . Some devices require specific steps, but most newer devices only require a simple keyboard sequence: First turn off your Chromebook completely (do not just close the lid). Next, hold down the Refresh keyboard icon key and then press and hold the Power button. Hold both down for 10 seconds. Release the Refresh key and then the Power button and your Chromebook will restart. If it does not start, press Power again. If your issues persist after this, we recommend reaching out to Lenovo Tech Support for Chromebooks at this number: 800-426-7378.

Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook (Celeron, 64 GB)

I purchased one of these about three years ago. Apparently they are not sold anymore, but I feel compelled to leave a review for posterity. For about $100 during Black Friday, this turned out to be one of my greatest computing purchases. I get a ton of use out of it. The 11.6" form factor makes it very portable. The aluminum build feels solid. It boots up within a matter of seconds. I find myself not using the touchscreen much, but this could be a very nice feature. The screen resolution is not FHD, but seems about right for the smaller screen size. The battery life is excellent compared to my other laptops; it does not drain much when the lid is closed and the machine is supposed to be asleep. The device is charged via USB-C; there is one such port on both the left and right sides, which is very convenient. Charging happens pretty quickly - seems like less than an hour to fully charge. The main port I am missing is an HDMI port for an external monitor, but I think this can be solved by purchasing a USB-C to HDMI adapter.
This is perfect as a device to carry around the house to watch videos, listen to music, read documents, or browse the web. But if you want to do more, you can use it as a fully functional (but light duty) Linux machine. They make it very easy to set up Debian to run within Chrome OS. Here you can program in Python or R, write notes in markdown or research articles in Latex, SSH to other machines; basically anything that doesn't need a lot of computing power. The 4 GB of RAM is enough to do some work in Linux while listening to a YouTube video back in Chrome. The variant with 64 GB of storage is enough for a pretty good sized Linux container where you can install a bunch of packages and also save your work. I notice some slowness if I try to run a web browser from the Linux container rather than the Chrome browser in ChromeOS, so there are limitations. I'm not sure how compatible the MediaTek CPU variant is with Linux, so I would go for the Intel Celeron variant if you are at all interested. This would be a great device to take to a cafe, for traveling, or for a trip to the beach. Aside from being portable, the low cost makes it less of a big deal to replace if it is lost or broken.

Gf loves it. 2in1 so she has keyboard for typing from Facebook, messenger to office and more. Touch screen making it like a tablet.
Great chromebook for potability which can meet basic tablet and laptop needs.
Most stuff is available in apps or online so storage is acceptable, performance is good for use case and battery life is great.
Mostly been used for android games such as candy crush and puzzle type games alone with some web surfing, Facebook and Facebook messenger.
She loves that with google messenger she can text though her phone.
