    Keyboard is awkward and non-standard for positioning your hands to type. I also recommend you putchase a wireless mouse to use with this Chromebook.

    I was not impressed by this chromebook. I bought one for me and another for my mother. I was having problems setting up the chromebook with my google account. It took ten times to get logged in. For my 88 year old mother this is great for her. I give it 5 stars but for me it gets 3 stars.

    Best Buy sells these products and you don’t know how crappy they are until you bring them home. If you’re like me you don’t always use products as soon as you buy them. Big mistake if you’re shopping at Best Buy

    Seems ok for the cheap price but this is the crappiest screen I've ever encountered. You have to view it straight on or the image disappears. Pretty annoying.

      Hey NicoleC,

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with the camera on your IdeaPad 3i Chromebook. We apologize for the inconvenience that this has caused you, and we'd like to work with you to try to resolve this issue.

      To start, we recommend trying a hardware reset (visit the following link to learn how to do so: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA), which reboots the embedded controller that manages various system components, including the camera, hopefully resolving the problem.

      If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to factory reset your Chromebook, which you can learn more about towards the bottom of the webpage tied to the previously embedded link. So long as your Chromebook is backed up and the data is tied to the same Google account you used to setup your Chromebook, you can restore your system from a backup point to prevent you having to go through the full setup process again or having to make setting adjustments and customizations again.

      Please feel free to reach out to us should you have any questions.

      Best,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    This product is horrible. It was sold to me under the premise that it was a laptop and it’s not it does not function like a laptop. It does not allow me to download apps or products unless it only operates on a Google platform not what I needed complete waste of money Horrible customer service provided by the tech in the department.

    SLOW, SLOW, SLOW, so very, very, SLOW. Wasn't expecting much and this managed to get under even that bar. Thought taking a cheap laptop on vacation rather than my huge, expensive one would be a good idea. Wrong! And I'm stuck with it since the return period ended while I was out of the country. Worst of all is that it managed to corrupt my camera's memory card when trying to copy files to Google Drive. Fortunately, it was minor and correctable on my Windows laptop.

    I bought this Chromebook on Black Friday. I thought it was a good deal, however, it is trash. The screen would jump around at times, not enough to matter but sometimes. Well recently the finger pointer touch pad went out. The arrow would go where it wanted too. Yes, you can still use it with a mouse, but who really wants to do that. I contacted Lenovo to see if its under a manufacturers warranty and guess what, they said this Chromebook does not have a manufacturers warranty because it is made cheap. Stay away from this computer. I had this thing for a whole 3 months before it started having issues.
