Posted .Hey ChristopherF, we're sorry to hear that you ran into this issue with your Chromebook. To try to resolve this, try doing 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 your touchpad. 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. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us.
Do not purchase
||Posted . Owned for 3 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I have been contacting BestBuy for months. I ordered this computer around Christmas as a present for someone and it never arrived! Best Buy has yet to contact me or resolve the issue. I buy from the store all the time and order online as well and never had this issue. I would’ve rated 4-5 stars if they were at least willing to do reshipment or refund but not even a response email!

Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I returned this item because the sales person did not give me correct information about the product.

We wish to provide the best experience possible, so if you'd like to, we want to work with you to try to improve your experience with your Chromebook where possible.
To start, for context, this Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook is an entry level system with an Intel Celeron processor paired with 4GB of RAM and 64GB eMMC.

If you are experiencing performance issues while using the laptop under these conditions, we would like to work with you to ensure your system is running optimally.
To try to ensure your system is running optimally, when do you experiencing slower speeds? Is it while using web-based apps such as Zoom? If so, then we recommend ensuring your device is being used in an area with strong Wi-Fi signal and reliable bandwidth. You can see your signal strength in your system tray located at the bottom-right of your screen. We also recommend downloading and applying all updates to ensure your system is using the newest version of your software. To run updates, start by launching the Settings app then selecting the “About ChromeOS” tab on the left-hand side of the screen, you should then select the “Check for update” button on the right-hand side.
We hope the steps listed above help address some of your issues. Please reach out to us through the Q & A section on the product page if the issues persist or if you would like additional assistance, as your satisfaction is important to us.

Posted .Hey CharleneR, you can access your Microsoft 365 applications and content via the Chrome browser or download the Office apps as PWAs (progressive web app).

Posted .Hey, Liny. We're sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Chromebook. To try to resolve this, here's a method that can work on devices that won't turn. (You may need a 3rd hand for help) First, connect the charger to your Chromebook. Then, hold the power button + refresh key and remove the power adaptor as you continue to hold down those buttons. Wait for 1 minute, then press the power button to test the device (note: the power LED should not blink, and the device should not turn on). Connect the power adaptor and monitor the LED color. The device should try to turn on and the LED should blink or have a solid color. If your Chromebook still won't boot, we then recommend contacting Lenovo Support here: 800-426-7378, to work with a representative to discover a solution.
