I purchased the laptop for cyber Monday. Its now Wednesday and i absolutely HATE IT! Trying to copy pictures/videos into the laptop is horrible. It wont load! You cant download any good programs, like premiere pro. Using the internet is still SUPER SLOW. If you try using capcut, it will definitely not load. Its a waste of money. Im so disappointed

Hey AkhilemaryS,
We're sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with your IdeaPad 3i Chromebook so far. With the ChromeOS devices, there are some apps offered on mobile devices that are not available on certain Chromebooks.
With performance, there may be a resolution to improve system operation outside of the processor's limitations. 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 various system components.
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. Also, you can contact Lenovo Support via an outlet that is most convenient for you for further assistance.
Please update us when you can regarding this, and we appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback with us.

As a parent, I need a laptop that can handle the chaos of family life. Lenovo has impressed me with its balance of durability and functionality, making them a great choice for our kids. The build quality feels solid enough to withstand daily use (and the occasional bump), and the keyboards are easy for smaller hands to navigate. I appreciate that there's a good variety of models available at different price points, so you can find one that fits your budget and your child's needs. The screen sizes are appropriate for homework and games, and the battery life is sufficient for most homework sessions. I also like that they're compatible with most educational software and platforms. Overall, Lenovo provides a practical and reliable option for families looking for a sturdy and age-appropriate laptop without breaking the bank.

I bought this for my husband for Christmas and he loves it. He is used to using an iPad for social media, news, and browsing and then his computer for more work related activities. I didn’t know a lot about the brand but the reviews were great and the price was even better! He said it was easy to use and so far no issues with battery, audio, video, internet, or programs. I would recommend this to anyone looking for something more than an iPad or Chromebook but who doesn’t want to invest a lot of money into a name brand laptop.

Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook 15.6" FHD

I needed to have the Chromebook for cable connection to a HP Deskjet printer because so many headaches trying to use the printer with WiFi. Its own HP print app couldn't "find" the printer. The little Chromebook was on sale for 119, had the ports needed, and it came quickly from a nearby store. It found the printer with cable connection with no problem and could both scan and print with it using Chrome and Mopria print app. However, the margins were way off on print jobs with no apparent fix, and the printer scanner is the type that the document has to be rolled through. The pages kept crumpling. So, cable connected a Canon PIXMA ts3722 printer and YES, Big Bertha worked. Flatbed scanner, quality text only print job even on draft. The little Lenovo paid for itself right there. Forget the WiFi headaches, give me cable connect every time. I attached a USB hub to the Lenovo to expand its ports. It has one C port and I keep the power cord in that, so it required a hub with USB A connector. The Lenovo screen quality isn't the greatest, but it does what I need it to do. I popped a micro SD card in the slot to unload the files for printing. One funny thing, the file app shows the Lenovo as having a card on board already for memory, and I am wondering if there's one inside. The Chromebook has 4GB Memory with 64GB eMMC Storage. I don't use it for gaming or high demand anything, so that is fine with me. It's fairly small and lightweight. Generally I like to connect a Bluetooth keyboard so I can have it on my lap, but so far haven't needed it. I activated the voice to text feature and can speak to create text files. Generally I create text docs on my cellphones with Google Docs, save them to Drive, and don't need a full keyboard anymore. The Lenovo accepts Google Play store apps, and the Android / Chrome interface is easier for me now than Windows. I've had a Lenovo Chromebook before but gave it to someone who needed it. Glad I found this one on sale. Thanks to Best Buy and OnTrac for fast delivery.

I've never purchased an open box item before. I chose this from the top selection of open box and I'm so happy with it. It was reasonably priced and it's perfect. Arrived in a plain laptop box, but that's the only difference I could see from brand new one.
It had all the usual bells and whistles. All the coverings etc and so far it's performed like a dream. The memory is small so you have to choose carefully what apps etc you download but I knew that when I purchased it. I wanted quick internet access that was not my phone and this is perfect for that. Set up is easy if you're an android user.
