    FedX ignoring delivery instructions

    I have no problem with Best Buy, or the item I purchased. My complaint is against using FedX when they have repeatedly been asked to leave packages on a side enclosed porch towards the back of our house. This package was left at a front door that has no protection from the elements.

    Fantastic Budget Laptop for Students & Daily Brows

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

    I recently picked up the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook (14"), and it has been a solid addition to my daily routine. For the price, the 1080p Full HD screen is surprisingly crisp—much better than the 720p screens you usually see at this price point. The MediaTek Kompanio 520 processor handles web browsing and streaming YouTube perfectly fine. While 4GB of RAM means you shouldn’t open 50 tabs at once, it’s snappy for Google Docs and Netflix. The battery life is the real winner here; I can easily get through a full day without reaching for the charger. The Abyss Blue finish also gives it a more premium look than your standard plastic laptop. Highly recommend it for students or anyone who just needs a reliable device for the basics!"

    It's honestly so great, it has an amazing color. Beautiful, clear, and crisp visuals perfect for streaming or gaming. The battery life is excellent, and it has ample memory and storage. I am currently a first-year PSEO student, and this has made my journey easier so far. I'm looking forward to use this beautiful Chromebook.

    Great price, strong build, Disappointing Screen

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

    Ended up returning this. The model on dispay in the store was the touch screen with the IPS, but I was sold this model without the touch screen and the TN display. The colors were very washed out and Chrome OS does not offer any way to fix this. As a result, constant staring at the cool tone of this display caused some eye fatigue. At this price, it's probably better to pay for a better Chromebook. I returned this and probably won't buy another Chromebook unless the correct model is on display because a lot of these have cheap screens. This had a nice strong build, good speakers, nice color, and excellent keyboard. It just sucks that the part you'd be staring at the most hours was the worst part of the experience. It also was a little on the heavy side. We need more 13.2 in chromebooks.

      Hi MUYAHO-

      Thank you for sharing your experience with the IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. We are sorry that the device did not meet your expectations. The IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook comes in two configurations, one of which uses the TN panel that does not support touchscreen, we understand how upsetting it is to receive the wrong product, we sincerely apologize for any confusion and disappointment that arose from your purchase. We strive to ensure excellent user experience with all our products and are sad to hear that we missed the mark, there are a few tips that we can offer regarding the cool tone of the display.

      Chromebooks have an integrated Night Light which allows users to adjust the color temperature of the display. To start, open the Settings app and select the “Device” tab on the left-hand menu, choose “Displays”, then select “Night Light”. From there you can adjust the display to your preference using the “Color temperature” slider.

      We hope you choose our products again in the future and please feel free to contact us with any questions you may have.

      Best wishes,
      Lenovo Lenovo

    This is a very good basic Chromebook, It works well for surfing the internet and watching YouTube and Netflix. I like how the writing on the keyboard is white so it's much easier to see in the dark. I picked it up for $129 on a deal of the day in early August. I Highly recommend it. Thanks to Best Buy!

    This Chromebook has been just enough technology for us to supervise while enough freedom for some exploration for our elementary school aged sons. They can navigate the device well, it holds a good charge, and the volume is not too loud but goods enough for their use.
