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.

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.

I bought this as a gift for my dad's wife and helped her set it up and played around on it for a while. It is by far the best Chromebook I've ever used. I have a Samsung Galaxy Book3 Pro 360 and this feels every bit as fast. I know it's running Chrome OS and not Windows but the responsiveness is impressive. Obviously it doesn't feel as premium but still a decent build and the 360 hinge is good. Chrome OS works really well in tablet mode too. Screen is plenty bright and Netflix and YouTube both looked good. Speakers are more than adequate. Keyboard is actually a decent experience as well. I know Chrome OS isn't something everyone has worked on before but if all someone needs is a laptop for web browsing, typing stuff every once in a while, and maybe some videos I really can't recommend this enough. I think Google really nailed it with the new Chromebook Plus line. I would assume any of them are pretty good.

I needed to upgrade my laptop after my previous one had lived a very crazy life during my job as a special education teacher. Upgrading to this laptop was effortless and simple as soon as I logged into the google chrome system. It seems to have a good battery life and I have had no issue using the video and microphone features for my work or video conferencing. Very happy with my purchase and the lovely people at the Best Buy in Albany, NY for helping me out!

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.

I bought this as sort of an upgrade from my older HP Envy and as a companion to my minibook. Starts up super quick, the screen looks great, and I like the fact that you can instantly connect to and print from wireless printers with no setup. I don't mind that it's a Chromebook since I already have a dedicated laptop for windows. This holds a charge for much longer, so I find myself using it more often when at home, and while I can mirror my phone on my Windows laptop, I can receive and answer messages seamlessly with the Chromebook. It's worth it for me.

This is a really nice computer, but has its flaws. It’s all matte black so if fingerprint smudging causes anxiety this wouldn’t be the best option. The screen is so clear I ask myself if the photo edits I bought it for aren’t over saturated on a cell phone. Otherwise, really nice graphics card. Mine will freeze up. Not sure what that’s about. I only use it for a couple programs.
