Lenovo Chromebook and Best Buy.

I love the Lenovo Chromebook. I needed one for our new employee and Best Buy had it in stock and shipped it to me in less than 48 hours. Super easy to do online and some of the best prices I found. I will definitely be buying from Best Buy again.
The Lenovo is fast, has a lot of storage, a great touch screen, a lighted keyboard, and boots up instantly. I don't have to worry about updates, malware, or buying protection software because it is all done through the Google Chromebook platform. The battery lasts a long time, although I usually keep it plugged in. My other office computers are Lenovo and I have had my personal one for 5 years with no issues.

Best Chromebook Plus hands down.

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.

Lenovo-Flex 5i Chromebook Plus

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 have been a Chromebook user for years, my first being a Google Pixel.
I love this Chromebook+. The screen is vibrant, sharp, and responsive. Processing speed is great; haven't had so much as a hiccup. Keyboard is backlit, also responsive, touchpad works perfectly. The only thing I would like is longer battery life, but that isn't a big issue for me.
Nowadays, most of use aren't needing the Windows environment, and this is a perfect substitute for those of us that are cloud based, and users of Android phones.
I can't say enough about this. It's a great balance of affordability and performance. Highly recommended from a long time Chromebook user.

Nice folding Chromebook. Only one stylus works with it so don't rely on the Amazon chart that shows what digital stylus works. I had to call Lenovo to find out what works: USI Stylus Pen for Lenovo USI Pen (4X80Z49662) The Chromebook I bought was a floor sample. I bought a Samsung 4 TB external SSD to use with it. It is pretty speedy for a Chromebook because it has an Intel i3 CPU. The 2K screen is very nice.

Quality Laptop At An Affordable Price

I needed a quality laptop at an affordable price when my old one's internal fan stopped working. BestBuy always has quality models on hand, so I ran down to the local store and found a great Lenovo, which is a brand I've had before. It's a good laptop (using it now) for everything I use it for, which is mainly work.

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.

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.

This laptop is an excellent Chromebook with a great screen resolution, and keyboard. The storage and RAM are more than adequate for its intended use. The quality and durability of the laptop is excellent, and should hold up to use for many years. You get 8-10 years of operating and security upgrades, which are much better than other laptop comparisons.

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.
