Bought this refurbished. It was exactly as advertised and has really been working well. My wife uses it for web browsing and the Google suite of apps. Everything has been running smoothly with no glitches or delays. Highly recommend!

Great portable option between a tablet and dedicated laptop. Able to download and run most Android apps, while still being large enough to comfortably take notes with (not included) stylus or update spreadsheets. Beware, MS office product apps don't work on the device, you have to access any Microsoft stuff online through a web browser only.

I have used many Chromebooks and this one is one of my favorites. Long battery life, decent speakers, and a nice screen.

My first chromebook and it has been a learning experience. Was concerned about the hinge problem I'd read about. So far so good, but I am being very careful.
Display is great.
Sound could be better but totally acceptable.
Battery life seems fine, but I leave it plugged in most of the time
I believe this was a good choice.

Chromebook Plus for the win!

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.

First Chromebook

I bought this as sort of an upgrade from my older HP Envy and as a companion to my minibook. Starts up super quick, the screen looks great, and I like the fact that you can instantly connect to and print from wireless printers with no setup. I don't mind that it's a Chromebook since I already have a dedicated laptop for windows. This holds a charge for much longer, so I find myself using it more often when at home, and while I can mirror my phone on my Windows laptop, I can receive and answer messages seamlessly with the Chromebook. It's worth it for me.

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!

I'm not using this device as a "power user". I have other devices for this. This device serves me adequately for browsing, social media, and other related and similar tasks. If that's what you're looking for, this device is more than enough. My only complaint, the curser sometimes jumps unexpectedly when using the touchpad mouse, but this hasn't been really bothersome to me.....yet.

Hi there,
Thanks for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us!
We are pleased to read that this Flex 5i Chromebook Plus meets your needs.
Regarding the touchpad issue, to address this we recommend completing 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 various system components, including the touchpad, hopefully resolving the problem.
Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page should you have any questions or need assistance.
Best, Lenovo

I bought this for my 6 year old since he will be starting to do his school work on it next year, he also wanted to play some games that was specifically on google play, he loves the laptop, but pretty much any laptop is going to have its negatives, the only thing I don’t like about it is how fast the battery goes dead, seems like it has to stay plugged in a lot, and when the battery is getting low it will start acting up (not pressing certain buttons, freezing, etc.)

This is a really nice computer, but has its flaws. It’s all matte black so if fingerprint smudging causes anxiety this wouldn’t be the best option. The screen is so clear I ask myself if the photo edits I bought it for aren’t over saturated on a cell phone. Otherwise, really nice graphics card. Mine will freeze up. Not sure what that’s about. I only use it for a couple programs.

Great Computer, Poor Durability

This is a beautiful Chromebook, highly recommended by Wirecutter and others. Unfortunately it has a bad design flaw - the hinges, which are critical for the touchscreen, are poorly attached and tend to crack after repeated use. I know, because I ran into this problem once, figured it was a fluke, and bought the same machine again, this time with Total Protection. The hinge cracked a second time.
Warning: When you take it to the Geek Squad to get serviced BestBuy charges you a $50 fee.

This laptop does exactly what we needed. Set up is easy. While it takes some time to adjust to Google's OS if used to windows, the experience feels very intuitive and modern. Knocked off one star because the tablet mode doesn't always work correctly.
Highly recommend buying from Best Buy as their customer service and price match policy is the best.
