    This laptop is the perfect size and does exactly what I need. The speed and touch screen was definitely a plus. The battery life is great and holds a charge for at least one and half weeks if not longer.

    This is my first chromebook, i have a big laptop for gaming and samsung phone for doom scrolling, so i wanted something to bridge the gap between the two. This is perfect. Battery lasts forever, great screen, decent speakers. All at a great price. My only gripe is that the keyboard isnt backlit, but i knew that when i purchased it.

    Great Purchase..compact and light weight. Gets the job done. Very smooth scrolling and good sound quality for watching videos. The audio, mic and camera are just right for interviews and other study related stuff. Very light to carry around and fits in smaller bags as well.

    This little Chromebook does a lot more than I ever expected. After 7 years, my MacBook Pro screen started having issues. I have more of a Chromebook than MacBook budget now so an equal replacement wasn’t possible. After a lot of searching, I found this one. The keyboard is nice. Trackpad responsive and easy to use. Screen is good, audio is good…but here’s the best part that I didn’t expect. I can play actual PC games using GeForce now. It handles them without issue. Winning! The battery lasts easily all day at work and I really don’t even need to charge it to keep using it at home. It was used with a projector to show a movie to a summer camp group, no problem. Prints wirelessly, no problem. Literally 0 complaints about this Chromebook.

    It's working out great. I bought this for my ill husband who is on bedrest presently. He had a desire to put down his thoughts of his life and memories since he is on hospice . He researched this for months. being a past software and hardware engineer for most of his adult life, this was his choice. It was a little hard to navigate for him initially because he has brain cancer and secondly, because it is not a Mac, which he was so used to. Once he got everything adjusted and got comfortable with it (after about a week), he was all set. The speech-to-text is perfect for him and we are happy to say he has just published his first Kindle book on Amazon about GBM and his life. I did work with chat for a bit before I bought this and was guided about its capabilities. As well, I immediately bought a "work in" case to protect it. he is very happy with it!

    very slim, and easy for people who do business and accounts through gmail, it has a very easy sync feature that lets you get all the data coming from your phone, I use my chromebook for my day trading career and I use the touch screen feature to look at the markets basically everyday, it’s been great!

    This laptop comes with Ryzen 3, which would give ultimate work experience for all apps. Currently its comes with Google chrome OS and its mainly for kids online study, but even we can install windows os. The touch screen are very responsive. I’ve created multiple users and all are working good. Bought this on Black friday deal for 299.. so wait for the deal and buy it.

    I updated my old Acer R11 Chromebook to this. I just use it for basic web browsing and for a recipe book in the kitchen. Its decently fast, sharp and vivid screen, battery life is more than enough for watching youtube all way without plugging in. I kind of like the keyboard and the webcam block is something that i like for privacy.

    I normally do not take the time to write product reviews but after purchasing this laptop and spending a few hours with it I had to. This laptop at $268 IS A STEAL!!!!! I opened the box without much excitement thinking this was just going to be a basic cheap Chromebook for the price boy was I wrong. I wont make this a long drawn out review but build quality is amazing, yes it is plastic but it no way does it feel cheap or flimsy. Love the blue color, keyboard and track pad are both great speakers are decent, and the screen is beautiful!!! I am not familiar with these new Intel chips but the N100 in this model is just as fast if not faster than the Intel Core i3 I had in my Surface Go 3 which I just returned because the battery life sucked!! I cant speak for the battery on this laptop since I just purchased it a few hours ago but I am sure it will be long lasting. I am totally impressed by this laptop Lenovo knocked it out of the park with this one. All I can say is BUY BUY BUY this laptop you will not be disappointed.

    This is my second Chromebook. I needed something small, portable, and inexpensive. Most (x86) Chromebooks of this size have 11.6" HD (i.e. 1366x768) screens, and Gemini Lake or Jasper Lake Celerons; which aren't all that fast. The Flex 3i, on the other hand, has a 12" (touch!) screen with nice colors, generous viewing angles, and a very usable resolution of 1900x1200. It also has an Alder Lake-N N100 processor, which is as quick as a mainstream Kaby Lake i5 desktop from six years ago, but consumes a tenth of the power. It has other nice-to-haves: The webcam has a physical privacy shutter, and the keyboard has good typing feel. It's handled everything I've thrown at it so far (remote desktop, Linux development, too many tabs open on Chrome, etc.) The only nitpicks I have for it, so far, is the inclusion of only 1 USB-C port. So if you want to charge the battery and still do USB-C things, you're going to need an appropriately-rated USB-C docking station. More RAM would always be nice, of course, but I haven't seen any real slow-downs yet. Definitely recommended!

    The new "go to" budget Chromebook

    I can't complain when I got this on sale with additoinal savings from an open box purchase ($207). Its exceptional value at that price with a nice form factor, screen, touchpad and keyboard. Fairly light as well. The N100 processor is plenty fast for light to medium tasks and while I wish it had more ram I can't complain at this price and haven't noticed it cause any issues during my limited testing (two apps open and multiple chrome tabs). My only real complaint is when moving the screen you can see backlight bleed from the flex. Once it's in position though its pretty much not noticeable. This is a budget laptop overall so can't really be too picky.
