Easy to use
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I used to try to keep up with technology as a younger person but feel like I'm always running behind these days. So I was a little worried about upgrading to a new laptop. I needn't have worried, this Chromebook is easy to use and gives me access to everything I need online.

||Posted . Owned for 1.5 years when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Lenovo Flex 5I Chromebook A Fatal Flaw / Achilles Heel / Reason to Avoid All of the positive features of this seemingly wonderful device are completely negated by the extraordinarily poorly designed hinges. You won’t be able to fully appreciate the touchscreen, clear upward firing speakers, backlit keyboard, sufficient RAM, speedy response, decent battery life, or the flexibility referred to in the Model number. Nope - just a simple physical attachment component: The hinges. A high percentage of their hinges are defective, Lenovo knows they are defective, and Lenovo will (despite a lawsuit ) deny and obfuscate the issue to keep from replacing or compensating customers for their engineering (or sourced parts) flub. Obviously, hinge durability will not affect every single device. You might get lucky! Mine worked properly for about a year. But when a hinge fails, it causes the frame around your screen to separate just behind it, making it impossible to open and close the device without snapping the whole thing apart. I find I can operate mine now by leaving the screen at a very precise angle, never daring to adjust it, much less use it in ‘tent’, flat or tablet mode. Not exactly ideal. The sad thing is that the canned customer response to everyone who reports this is of no help at all and seeks to avoid any corporate responsibility. Check out the other reviews online regarding these crappy hinges. Just something to consider as you shop for a durable chromebook…

And it gets better!
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The Chromebook Plus by Lenovo was an excellent buy. A few weeks after purchase I noticed the item had been reduced by $30. I was able to get credit just using the online chat. Great response by Best Buy.

Great Chromebook!
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Very well built and solid chromebook! Would recommend if you like to scroll social media, watch videos, or anything from a web browser. You can download steam and play basic games but dont have a huge expectation as it works but def a work in progress. Overall 9/10 chromebook would be great for a student!

Great laptop for light WFH
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this laptop for work. It did pretty good. Touch screen was used way more than I thought it would be, ability to connect devices was easy, and overall worth the price. I do wish the screen resolution was better, but within the price range it worked. No issues, always worked smoothly.

Screen is less than stellar
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Runs fast but the screen is a bit dull --my son thought there was a plastic protector on it at first. Great value for a value priced 2 in 1, but not great for video consumption. Just good
