    What a Chromebook should be

    While I admit that this is a beast (heavy and large) it's solid, sturdy, extremely performant, and handles everything I've thrown at it. In addition to running standard Chrome OS applications, it runs Android and Linux applications seamlessly, smoothly, and capably. Running applications like LibreOffice shows off its true capabilities.

    We were looking for a decent laptop that my mom could use to do things like pay bills and take some online courses. I own a Lenovo Thinkpad and absolutely loved it, but mom didn't need something with so much power. We chose this Ideapad and she absolutely loves it! It's user friendly, the keyboard feels great and my mom loves the that it's touch screen and it runs so smoothly without any sort of delay. We both highly recommend this laptop!

    Haven't used much as old one will be coming off updates soon. My impression of the time I spent on it, is a pat on the back as there were many new chromebooks available. Love the look, keypad feel, backlit, faster by far from old model and thats with many open pages .The plus model is just that, won't be worrying about updates ending, anytime soon.

    One of the premier best Chromebook Plus in the market now. It's quick, great 14 inch screen, and a nice big track pad. Only thing I wish is if it was a little lighter but it's still portable and the best deal of any laptops, Windows or Apple.

    Dear Best Buy Team, I recently purchased the Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus Laptop from your store, and I must express my utmost gratitude for the exceptional service I received during my shopping experience. As I embark on my journey to obtain my master's degree in mental health clinical counseling, this laptop has proven to be an invaluable asset for my academic pursuits. What truly sets this device apart is the integration of Google AI, which provides me with an enhanced user experience and enables me to work more efficiently on my coursework and research. The 14" 2K touchscreen display is both visually stunning and remarkably responsive, making it a joy to use on a daily basis. The Intel i3-1315U processor combined with 8GB of RAM ensures that I can multitask seamlessly, while the Intel UHD Graphics provide excellent performance for both work and entertainment. The 128GB SSD offers ample storage for my files and documents, ensuring that all my essential data is easily accessible. Furthermore, the Storm Grey color not only adds a touch of sophistication to the device but also complements my professional demeanor as I prepare to pursue a career at the Pacific VA Mental Health Center. In conclusion, I wholeheartedly commend Best Buy for offering such a top-quality product and providing exceptional customer service. The Lenovo Flex 5i Chromebook Plus Laptop has truly become an indispensable tool in my academic and professional journey, and I couldn't be more satisfied with my purchase. Thank you once again for your outstanding commitment to customer satisfaction. I look forward to shopping with Best Buy in the future for all my technology needs. Warm regards, Peter Paul Pinto

    Overall this laptop is good value for the price as recommended by Wirecutter. I wish the camera could be changed to take pictures from behind the screen, instead of only facing me. The shutter closing the camera lens got stuck after about a year and cannot now be closed. Otherwise, dependable and does everything I need.

    Great touchscreen laptop that can be flipped around like a tablet. Long battery life, and quick to charge. Only complaint is the touchpad mouse is a little quirky to getting used to for scrolling.

    I bought this as a gift for my dad's wife and helped her set it up and played around on it for a while. It is by far the best Chromebook I've ever used. I have a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 and this feels every bit as fast. I know it's running Chrome OS and not Windows but the responsiveness is impressive. Obviously it doesn't feel as premium but still a decent build and the 360 hinge is good. Chrome OS works really well in tablet mode too. Screen is plenty bright and Netflix and YouTube both looked good. Speakers are more than adequate. Keyboard is actually a decent experience as well. I know Chrome OS isn't something everyone has worked on before but if all someone needs is a laptop for web browsing, typing stuff every once in a while, and maybe some videos I really can't recommend this enough. I think Google really nailed it with the new Chromebook Plus line. I would assume any of them are pretty good.

    This a very nice chromebook with a great clear screen. I gave it a 5/5 because it is a great chromebook overall but beware that it is somewhat difficult to open due to the small indented area in the middle only about the size of the touch pad. I own the previous model and find this one harder to initially open. Other than that it is a great product and I would definitely purchase again for all of it's other features.

    I needed to upgrade my laptop after my previous one had lived a very crazy life during my job as a special education teacher. Upgrading to this laptop was effortless and simple as soon as I logged into the google chrome system. It seems to have a good battery life and I have had no issue using the video and microphone features for my work or video conferencing. Very happy with my purchase and the lovely people at the Best Buy in Albany, NY for helping me out!
