      Hey AlyssaC,

      Thank you for choosing Lenovo and for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you're having trouble with your Chromebook, and we'd like to help.

      To clarify, is the difficulty with your Chromebook turning on due to the power button? Does the system take a while to boot? If you could provide more details, we can address this more precisely.

      As for caps lock, we understand your perspective and while this has been permanently addressed with newest Chromebook models, for your IdeaPad 3i, you will need to use the Alt + Space key combination to activate and deactivate caps lock.

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

      Hi Chukles, thanks for choosing Lenovo! Regarding using a Google account for setup, this is due to a few factors, most notably to secure your Chromebook and help keep your saved data from being lost. This is due to the level of security provided by ChromeOS, powered by Google Chrome and Google Services, along with saving your device data so that if it is lost or needs to be reset, within just a few minutes your device is just like it was before. We're glad to hear that your Chromebook performs well for you, and we really appreciate you sharing your experience and feedback with us. Lenovo

    It’s really nothing special, I only bought the laptop because I needed a cheap laptop quickly for an interview as my old one broke, and this did the job. It’s kinda slow, but what do you expect at this price?
