I purchased this computer because I have been using google docs along with the chrome OS on my macbook and like the versatility. I subscribe to Nvidia GeForce Now and find this computer plays all my steam games with the same resolution and speed as the mac, for a third of the price. I also find the flex function very handy when I want to watch videos or read a book.

Wanted a Chromebook Plus model for the kids (11th, 9th, and 6th graders) so they could do schoolwork more easily than on their school-provided basic Chromebook. This one seemed to be the best one for the price, but... It's a Christmas present and won't be opened for 2 weeks, so I'll update this review in a few weeks with the thoughts from my kids after they first use it and after they've used it for a while.

This Chromebook Plus has excellent build quality and the keyboard and touchpad are very solid. The RAM is enough to be speedy for multiple tabs or applications. The wifi seems to be a bit weak and the battery is not one that will get you 10+hours, though.

This laptop is truly unique in its way of multipurpose design and use. Love that it can be used as a tablet and laptop all in one. The touch screen. Is super easy to use and convenient. Very happy with my purchase overall.

An amazing computer works efficiently, and it perfectly quickly. It’s a great purchase!

Love it. It's a great deal and is fast. Screen looks great also

These Chromebooks are light and powerful, and the touch screen is responsive.

This Chromebook is excellent. I bought 2 of these for my kids because the ones they get at school have very dim screens and don’t have touch screens. This one has the Chromebook plus standard and the screens are bright and are very responsive. The hinges feel like they will last a long time and the finish seems like it will survive their backpacks.

Loving everything about this Chromebook so far. Great screen that is big enough, that was a concern of mine coming from a 17 in screen on my old one. Actually like the size of this one better. Not as bulky. Having a lit keyboard is awesome too. Haven't used to 2 in 1 features yet. Perfect for my needs at the right price.

The Chromebook works great, easy to set up for my kid and looks great.

Great purchase.! The computer was purchased to be used for online classes in pursuit of a Master of Education degree in Special Education and Elementary Education.

This is an excellent Chromebook/pad. It functions really well and the touch screen with folding screen turns it into a giant pad. It's fast and responsive.

Perfect fast laptop and tablet. Very happy with this for zoom and business

I am very pleased with my new laptop. I do have one caveat. The hinges of the laptop tend to catch on fabrics if you place it on your lap.

Great price and easy set up. For personal use this was a great choice for me.

The young man was knowledgeable about the Levnovo Chromebook that I purchased. The Geek Squad were proficient and helpful in setting up my computer.

I had a google tablet from 2018 and it was heavy and finally crashed on me. This chromebook is best I've had so far. I use mostly cloud based programs like Microsoft 365 for work but also use google drive and email for personal. Fast, powerfull, well built. I use the tablet mode for reading. The screen is totally legit. I think it's a very good value.

While this is a decent Chromebook overall it’s supposed to have a fingerprint reader but for some reason this one doesn’t (Chromebook Plus site and Lenovo specs say it does). Battery life is a a bit less than others but the keyboard is nice. Screen is a bit too dim and the glare is strong. Overall it’s ok but it should have better specs per its description.

Already owned the Lenovo flex 5 but wanted to upgrade to Chromebook plus, so I bought the 5i. Both are fantastic, Lenovo does Chromebooks great. The flex 5i is like the flex 5 on steroids with all the chrome plus stuff.
