    Pretty impressive PC for most intents and purposes .... of a Chromebook. I will likely be returning this one, however, as I tend to be more of a power user and push these little computers to their max. My older HP Convertible Chromebook (with similar stats) seem to handle my particular heavy use better. For most though? .... I suspect this one would be well suited!

    Fantastic product. So much faster than my old laptop. The bending screen allows for me to comfortably use this in all kinds of situations. Very happy with my purchase.

    Using this for work purposes only. Very quick, easy to set up, and it’s a plus to have the tablet mode despite not using it as much. Barely need to charge it as well!

    I am in my 70's and don't do a lot of heavy duty computer work, so a Chromebook is perfect for me. This is a nimble, responsive and user-friendly device which suits my needs. A good value, too.

    I have been using Chromebooks for years. I decided to buy the Chromebook pro this time around. I can do everything I need with a Chromebook though I realize they are probably not for everybody. This one is nice. It's good looking but I don't think it's that much faster than my past Chromebooks. That's not really a complaint because I find them to be plenty fast. I'm one of those people that the best way to speed up my computer is to learn how to type.

    Best Chromebook I've owned by a wide margin

    I've been using Chromebooks since shortly after they were introduced and have owned more than half a dozen of them. The IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is by far the best Chromebook I've used. It has a great display and a great keyboard (which I'm a real stickler for). Those and the additional capabilities that are exclusive to Chromebook Plus makes it a winner. I wish it were a little lighter, more along the lines of my old Pixelbook, but at about half the price and with more superior features, I'm exceedingly pleased with my purchase.

    This is my second Chromebook. The first one was about 10 years ago, in their start... It was a poor machine, not good enough to be considered a full notebook. Screen was low quality, the only plus was the (cheap) price. Now, this one, while it still has some limitations related to Chrome OS, is much better both in hardware and software. It has good specs, reasonable price, and an excellent deal on having Google's AI (Gemini) for 12 months free.

    My first Chromebook Plus device and it has not dissapointed me at all. Love the HD screen, photos and movies look fantastic. Text is really crisp and sharp to my eyes. For those considering a stylus for this device the USI Stylus Pen 2 works great.
