Customer Ratings & Reviews

I purchased this for a Christmas gift for myself from my wife. I used it one time and really enjoyed having a chromebook again. My wife used it a few days later to print some labels and she used the flip and touch screen mode. Three days later after searching the internet far and wide, watching video after video, we returned the product due to it being stuck in touchscreen mode. Apparently, this is an issue with many brands. The next chromebook i purchase will not have this feature.

Oversized cellphone....it literally can do everything your phone can do on an 11 inch monitor.

Got this chromebook on Black Friday sale for $149 for my daughter. It seemed to have a quality build with a lot of metal and limited amount of plastic. However, a small drop ended this thing and broke the hinge somehow which in turn causing exposed wiring and such. Now the thing is stuck in reboot mode which means it's dead. If giving this to a younger kid, think twice, they aren't durable.

Definitely not what I was looking for. Would be perfect for a young kid

Just a decent computer good price point for a budget

Arrive broken, needed for an out-of-town business meeting. Kept freezing and going blank. By the time I got back my 15 days were up. Had to get an appointment five days later. I bought a year's worth of antivirus also. I ended up getting a credit for the Chromebook but got stuck with the bill for the antivirus that was loaded on my return

I bought this Chromebook because I needed something for school, just to type up essays nothing too crazy. I quickly realized that it was having issues connecting to my Epson printer. this is an issue with most Chromebooks that I wasn't aware of. Of course, I wasn't going to buy a new printer to work with this Chromebook so I just returned it.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook is great. With easy access to Google’s suite of productivity software, the Chrome web browser, and enough processing power to run fun apps and video conferencing software, this little machine is perfect for beginners and students. Chrome OS is a simple-to-learn operating system. Don’t expect to run resource-heavy photo/video editing software or video games. A Chromebook at this price point is largely intended to be a web browsing and email machine. An 11 inch screen is great for an easily portable device. The screen is not high resolution, but touch sensitivity is a nice…touch. See what I did there? Speakers aren’t top notch, but the volume can be turned up with little to no distortion. At this price point sound quality shouldn't be a priority. There is a headphone jack if you plan on listening to music and want better sound. The camera has a slide cover which is nice. Video quality is fine. I’ve watched several Youtube videos without any lag. The wifi card maintains a solid connection. One USB-C and one USB 2.0 port allow for limited peripheral attachment, and a MicroSD card slot allows for storage expansion. The USB-C port is also used for charging the Chromebook. Touchpad works as expected, but you also have the option of connecting a mouse via Bluetooth or USB. There is a volume rocker switch next to the power button which seems unnecessary considering the volume buttons on the keyboard, but it’s there. Build quality is what you should expect for the price. The body seems to be built of plastic rather than metal, but feels quite sturdy. Hinges feel strong. The ability to flip the screen around to transform into a tablet is nice, but it is much more bulky than just a tablet. Might be ideal for people who have a hard time holding on to a slimmer device. Do NOT grip too tight in tablet mode, as the back of the machine is the keyboard. The “chiclet” keys are clicky and responsive which is great, but too much pressure can wear this sort of key down over time. Overall, I am impressed. Again, this is a fantastic starter laptop for the price. Lenovo says it’s “perfect for students of all ages,” and I definitely agree. If the basics are what you’re looking for, you can’t go wrong here.

Returned item. Not able to set up. When requested assistance from Best Buy they were going to charge $149. I don't think so. I am not technology smart but have purchased other computers and notepad and was able to set up. Not this one. Possibly a great machine. May go to another store to purchase one where more customer friendly.

Purchased for my son to use the internet and also drawing apps . Not bad for a Chromebook and price BUT there isn’t any stylus that is compatible with this Lenovo model . Tried three pens to find out nothing works . I also own Lenovo Yoga ( denim blue ) and I LOVE LOVE LOVE IT ! For the cost hate to return it .

If you want a computer for school work and literally nothing else. This is it

Love the brand Lenovo so I really enjoyed this product.

Yes, this machine does go use an aging processor, but it's not something everyone will really notice. It's just specs on a sheet and I am not really noting that fact, rather the daily everyday type of usage of this machine. I have to say that this chromebook is just as fast as my other laptop which i really like to use as well. It's basically a windows vs chrome OS and tell you the truth for the most part, you won't really can tell the difference other than some smaller screens show similar to what you see on your phone. Secondly, the storage is really the main difference here. I do wish the keyboard was backlit like my laptop. Also using office products is somewhat limited. But otherwise using a chromebook is really no different than using a dedicated windows machine. The battery states at this time of typing at 91% and that equates to approx 12.5 hours. The display is decent and not 4k but it gets its job done. The screen is really bright if you need it. The sound is not a winner here but for the price, I can't really fault it Just use some wireless headphones and connect bluetooth. Is there something not really great with this model? Well the trackpad is wobbly, the speakers are tinny sounding, and there's no backlit keybooards. Would I recommend it? For a student and knowing you are not going to use Office products on it. No video editing and not using it for a ton of storage, I would recommend this. Pretty much a tablet with a dedicated keyboard, which I do not mind. You just to clarify what his machine is.

Bought for my daughter for Christmas, she had it 2 days and the corner came unsnapped i returned it to best huy and they said they couldnt do anything anyways it completely quit working 3 days later. Not sure if i just got a bad one or what.

This is not what I was expecting for my first Lenovo purchase. We purchased this in November for a Christmas gift. Worked well until a week ago (after the return window has closed). Now the 'b', 'n' and volume up keys no longer work.

One of the best sleek laptops available in the market. Performance is just good enough for daily use browsing, movies, Netflix etc. touchscreen is not sensitive enough. Display is pretty good. Hey google shortcut is very helpful and I have used it for quick searches. Overall, a pretty good product for daily use and portability. Would recommend this to anyone.

I have been using this Lenovo Chromebook laptop computer for about a week now, and I am enjoying it. Out of the box, setup was simple and fast, and, after logging into my Google account, I was up and running. I have owned and used MANY notebook computers of all different sizes and weights over the last couple of decades, and I have nothing but high praise for this Chromebook. It is very light, and, at 11-inches by 8-inches, it is not large, being smaller than a letter-sized piece of paper. It is very portable. The keyboard is typical of laptops. It is soft in feel, I do like the relatively short key travel, and it is overall comfortable to use. The touchpad works well, also. The computer has audio log-in capability, something I’ve not experienced before, where it will learn your voice, and you can log into the device without having to touch anything. The display is bright and crisp. As has been my experience with Chromebooks, external connectivity is limited, in this case to a single USB-2 port, a headphone jack, and a micro-SD card reader. But then, that’s the idea. You’re supposed to work within the Chrome universe with a device like this, and it works well in that regard. In summary, this computer is very comfortable to tote around, looks good with a beautiful screen, and is a pleasure to use.

Sorry for the Yoda reference, but it really kind of encapsulated what I thought about the Lenovo Flex 3 after using it for a week so far. While it is not a powerhouse to be used for high-end games or graphic design, it is absolutely perfect for a travel laptop or one to have around the house when you want something easy and light to use for surfing, typing, and other light duties. I wanted it for travel and to have in my library/den. I have yet to go anywhere with it but I have been using it on my lap desk while kicked back in my recliner. It has been perfect for surfing and sending/responding to emails. I enjoy having the keyboard rather than using a tablet, and while it may not be quite up to the standards of the top-end Lenovo keyboard (which tend to be my favorite), it is still remarkably good for a laptop at this price point. I've never been a huge fan of the Chrome ecosystem, but it's expansion into the education space combined with its maturity now as an OS have made it much more useful. With programs such as Microsoft Office and Adobe Lightroom now having full apps available, it no longer feels like you are giving up much by using a Chromebook vs. a Mac or PC. The Google store could still use a bit more curating and filtering options but that too has gotten better over the years. The screen, while only a 11.6" FHD (1920x1080), looks remarkably sharp at this size. I have a favorite background image that I also use on my iMac and they both look sharp and bright despite the Mac being a vastly superior screen. My only quibble with the screen is that they really need to move Chromebooks to 4:3 aspect ratio since they are predominantly used for surfing/online programs. With that ratio vs. the widescreen, you wouldn't have to scroll quite as much. My only other 'complaint' that really isn't a complaint is that the small form factor of the laptop does not give you a ton of room for a trackpad, especially when they give you such a good sized keyboard. While there is nothing wrong with how it works, it does seem to take a bit more time to move the cursor about the screen. This has been easily fixed with the purchase of a relatively inexpensive (sub-$30) mouse that is design for Chromebooks. I'm going to end the review on a high note. My greatest surprise has been the battery life on this thing. I charged the laptop up fully prior to it's first use and since then I have used it for quite a few hours. The battery still hasn't gone below 75%! That combined with the nice USB-C charge port (which is great since I already have a 100W charge brick with multiple USB-C charge cords for my other devices), makes this a great travel device since it can share the same charger as my other devices and saves on space. All-in-all, the Lenovo Flex 3 is a great little laptop that can either be a great secondary device for travel or even as a primary laptop for a child or adult who doesn't need a desktop replacement. Definitely recommend.

We purchased 2 of these for Christmas. One stopped working within 1 week. Not for gamers, kids were unhappy. Very disappointing when you're trying make your kids happy.

Had this chrome book for not even 30 days and it has already stopped charging. When you press the T or Y key it completely turns off. Do not purchase this item.
