    The laptop was good. Unfortunately it was accidentally dropped from my desk to the chair and cracked the screen. I wish it was built a little bit more ruggedly.

      Hi ChristalM,

      Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that this IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook has fallen short of your expectations. We wish to provide the best experience possible, and while this Slim 3 Chromebook is an entry level laptop not designed purely for performance, we want to ensure your system is performing as well as possible.


      To start, we recommend ensuring the system is up to date by opening Settings > About ChromeOS > Check for updates. Also, try to minimize the number of apps or browser tabs open as this can free up resources for smoother processing with the tasks you're actively working on.

      Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q& A section of this product page should you have any questions or need assistance.

      Best regards,
      Lenovo Lenovo

      Hi NancyS-

      Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We are disappointed to hear that you are facing issues with the IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. We always aim to give the best user experience and are sad to hear that we missed the mark. We would like to offer a few solutions to the issues you are encountering to help improve your experience.

      Firstly, there are optional applications pre-installed within your IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. These apps can be deleted easily by selecting the app with right click and choosing the uninstall option from the menu that appears.

      To address your concern regarding the difficulty finding the info apps or files you need; Chromebooks include a Search Key making searching for files, settings, or apps easier. You can find this on your keyboard on the left-hand side that appears as a large colored-in circle. Finally, you can use the search bar to easily find what you are looking for.

      Please reach out to us through the Q & A section of this product page if you would like to share more details with us about your experience.

      Best wishes,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    Even though used, it looks and functions like brand new. Great option for a affordable laptop that you don't use for too much. Good for writing, watching videos, etc. Making documents and art.

    Total Failure

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    It’s not possible to review this item as both your shipping department and Bay Shore NY store failed spectacularly in getting this to my daughter for Christmas. Stalled somewhere in Pennsylvania and out of stock at my local Best Buy I was sent on a wild goose chase some 30 miles away only to be told that that particular store did not have my item in stock as well. Also was asked by the department manager if I had reached out to FedEx to see where my Christmas gift was? I didn’t recall purchasing the computer from FedEx. Lastly when it finally arrived on New Years Eve I had to return it as other arrangements were made, no apologies no offer of gift card or store credit for future use, just a hollow thank you.
