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.

I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus from Best Buy and have been thoroughly impressed. Here's a concise review:
Design: The laptop sports a sleek, professional look with a two-tone grey finish. It's aesthetically pleasing and feels sturdy.
Performance: Equipped with an Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, it handles everyday tasks smoothly. The performance is reliable for browsing, document editing, and media consumption.
Display: The 14-inch screen offers crisp and clear graphics, enhancing the experience for both work and entertainment.
Keyboard and Trackpad: The backlit keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience, and the responsive trackpad adds to the ease of use.
Versatility: As a 2-in-1 device, it offers flexibility with various modes, including a tablet mode compatible with a stylus.
Best Buy Experience: Purchasing from Best Buy added value with their warranty options, ensuring peace of mind.
Overall, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is an excellent choice for its price, offering a great balance of design, performance, and versatility. I highly recommend it for anyone in the market for a reliable Chromebook.

Was a top rated laptop on the reviews, my daughter really likes it. Had an issue with startup and downloading things needed for class, so my daughter took it in and Geek Squad had it blazing in less than 10 minutes! Thanks!

Great buy! Fast, quick to load. The only issue is that the touch pad seems to be losing its sensitivity after only having it a short time.

Christmas Present

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.

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.

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.
