    Wish I could tell you anything about this product. The screen cracked after 4 days on accident. Lenovo wants to charge $700 to fix it.. so I wasted $450 on the device. Most likely won't ever purchase another Lenovo product

    Great tablet for the price! a Winner

    Posted .

    If you are looking for a vibrant touch screen tablet that acts more like a laptop with ChomeOS, look no further. This is a winner. 8GB RAM and 128GB Disk space is the MINIMUM you should be looking on a Chromebook. Sure, there are intel versions that outperform this mobile-type processor, but battery life is nowhere near what you can get with ARM. Remember, Chromebooks are mostly secondary computers, Windows and Mac's are workhorses. This is suitable for media consumption, email, and light work. You don't get Office programs in this, just web version apps, which are not as powerful. Despite these drawbacks inherent to ChromeOS rather than Lenovo, I just love this Chromebook. Pen is very responsive and a delight to use on screen. Deattach the keyboard and you've got a great tablet. Keyboard is a pleasure to type on. And that battery life!! at this price it's a steal.

    Awesome student laptop!!

    I was searching for a laptop to start virtual learning for my son this year (6th grade). I was hesitant after reading the reviews to buy this. I wasn't sure if I should go chromebook or a regular laptop.. I decided to give this a shot. It is perfect. His school used chromebooks so he is familiar with everything, shortcuts, etc. The screen is a pretty good size and it handles having multiple tabs open without slowing down. I will remind him to close them out after there are 12 or so open but its still working fine when I do. Touchscreen is good Camera is good. He watches netflix and disney on it and we have no problems with the sound or quality. Do I like the cover as a support when in laptop mode..its ok. We have some books stacked behind it and then the folded back. Love how easily it detaches as a laptop. The magnet is strong. Not many choices for protective cases and the case it comes with definitely wouldn't protect it if it got dropped. Haven't really noticed how long it stays charged for. We use it plugged in all day long. Overall would definityly recommend!
