    Avoid Google Perks

    Avoid any of the Google Perks offers. I haven't been able to use this laptop for a month as I've been waiting for Google to resolve the free year of Google AI.

    I hate this computer. It is always lagging, the track pad skips frequently, my current issue is with the browser not allowing me to close out of tabs and it continuously freezes I cannot get anything done, sometimes it will shut off and I have to keep pressing the backspace button to get it to turn back on, my printer does not connect with it, you cannot use adobe illustrator with the particular chromebook.

      Hi, StephanieT. We are sorry to hear that you have experienced these issues with your Chromebook. Pertaining to functionality, to try to remedy this, first, please look for any applicable updates in the “About ChromeOS” tab in system settings. After applying these updates, should your issue persist, we recommend trying to complete a powerwash or factory reset to see if this resolves the issue. To complete a reset, here is a link to a Google Support page that details how to reset a Chromebook: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/183084?hl=en. After these steps, if this doesn’t resolve things, we recommend reaching out to our support team for Chromebooks here: 800-426-7378, providing a representative with details of your issue, so that they may help by providing a solution for you.

    Very HOT; chronic issues turning on

    We continue to have major issues with this machine. It will often not turn on (or the screen stays black while the machine appears to be on). It also runs excessively with the fan audible and machine getting very hot. My son was required to purchase this for school and has had the machine taken from him at school due to safety concerns over the heat the machine is putting out. We purchased in September and are now (February) realizing that this is going to be a chronic issue. We will bring this back to Best Buy to see what they can do to assist.

      Hey KurtS, we are sorry to hear that you're experiencing this issue. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused. To try to resolve this, try doing a hardware reset (visit the following link to learn how to do so: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA), which reboots the embedded controller that manages your touchpad. If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to factory reset your Chromebook, which you can learn more about towards the bottom of the webpage tied to the previously embedded link. Feel free to work with Best Buy teams and Lenovo Support for assistance. We appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us. Lenovo

    So far, not impressed. I was unable to access the internet at the University where I volunteer, and the tech staff there told me Chromebooks are notoriously problematic, but they got me on line. Next, the Microsoft-Office Home & Student software I ordered at Best Buy's suggestion downloaded, but will not execute. The Geek agent would courteous, but couldn't help and told me I had to take it in to a Best Buy store.

    Absolute JUNK

    The computer itself is finebut , fast, battery life is bad. There is a MAJOR design flaw with the screen hinges. They are poorly secured and pop out so the screen does not attach to the compter, making it impossible to close and difficult to adjust to line of sight. I returned the first one, but the replacement did the exact same thing. Absolute junk, cannot recommend.
