    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.

We aim to provide excellent user experience for our products, and we would love to recommend a possible solution you can use to improve your experience.

      The IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook allows users to scroll up and down using 2 fingers on the touchpad. You can scroll down by swiping 2 fingers upwards on the touchpad, to scroll up swipe downwards using 2 fingers.

      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

    We purchased this laptop in August and in December it stopped working. Took it back to Best Buy, they sent it off and said the battery was loose inside. We received it back in February and after using it twice, it stopped working again. Took it back to Best Buy a second time and they want to charge us $84.99 to send it off even though they supposedly fixed it two weeks ago. Very disappointed!

      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

    We bought this for our daughter. It is her last semester at college and she needed something to get her through. She loves it and is just what she needed. It's not heavy and doesn't take up much room at all. Fast and sleek!
