Great, but not the best in same range.
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Fits Perfectly
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Gets the job done
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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!

Good value
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Chromebooks finally made it
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Great Laptop
||Posted . Owned for 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.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.

Started off good, now not so much
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this chromebook in February of 2024. Was great for the first 10 months or so. After that it would periodically freeze up, I would only have 2-4 tabs open and it would freeze up. The fan would also run a lot and loud. I did a powerwash a couple of times, the problems still persisted. I learned to live with that issue, now another issue has popped up. Now when you type the e or c key you get a series of letters and not just the c or the e. I researched this and others have had the same issue with varying models of chromebooks. I tried everything suggested, including multiple powewashes, changing the keyboard languge, trying a full recovery, Nothing has worked, I give up. Looking to buy another model now.

Powerhouse Chromebook Plus
||Posted . Owned for 9 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This Chromebook has been excellent for everything I have thrown at it. Handles video calls with no lag or quality issues (video or sound). It feels like a high quality product when you pick it up - very solid with minimal flex. Very happy with the battery life as well.
