Customer Ratings & Reviews

I’ve been using the IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook for a few months now, and it’s been a great budget-friendly option. The 14” Full HD touchscreen is vibrant and responsive, perfect for casual browsing and light productivity. The lightweight design makes it easy to carry, and the battery life is impressive, lasting all day. However, it can feel a bit slow with heavier tasks. Overall, a solid choice for students or basic use!

Loving my new Lenovo Slim 3! The build quality on this device is superb with a nice solid feel. Thin and light and easy to carry around. Great audio quality and camera for video conferencing - the camera privacy shutter is really nice too. Keyboard feel is just right. Nice and bright FHD display. Reliable and fast WiFi. The power efficient MediaTek Kompanio 520 processor delivers amazing 13+ hours of battery life so I don’t have to stress when working in coffee shops etc., where AC outlets can be hard to find. The processor is zippy and allowed me to work with plenty of tabs including Google Photos, YouTube, Google Keep, Microsoft Word etc., without any issues switching between apps. Definitely deserves 5 stars and highly recommended for anyone looking for a Chromebook for productivity, entertainment and more!

Cannot complain. The battery life on this is incredible, which was one of the main reasons I wanted a chromebook. It is also light, another of my requirements. The only thing missing is the backlit keyboard, which is not too much of a problem since I am a touch typist. This is my first Chromebook and the Lenovo did a fantastic job, easy to adjust sound, screen brightness, plus get to other settings. As long as there are apps to accomplish some features such as light photo/video editing and office 365, I am good. The processor handles the task with no stutter or lag so far. Chromebook also has an auto delete function after time to keep the memory free. No regrets, impressed so far.

Best deal at Best Buy, Chromebook with touch screen, ssd, lightweight, decent screen resolution and excellent battery life.

This is a very nice chromebook. The appearance and screen is exceptional. Great for web browsing and streaming. It is 4 gigs/64 ram I wish it was 8gigs other than that I am very happy with my purchase. This chromebook is excellent for those on the go 100% portable. I am happy I purchase it and the screen quality is awesome. Battery life is great 13 hours easy.

Satisfied buyer. This laptop exceeds my expectations and more. Got it to be able to do some projects and so far has been a great experience. I see some in the comments with concerns of speed however, my experience has been the complete opposite. Quite exceptional if you ask me. Great size without being overly heavy, I spent a few hours on it after charging the 1st day I got it and I couldn’t be more content. Spent more hours on it after having it a few weeks and can honestly say this is the first laptop that doesn’t have my legs feeling like hot pockets fresh out the microwave. Haha but in all seriousness. So many options, so many reviews. I say trust your instinct. I purchased when it was on sale and for the price it was a great buy. A few cheaper but if you are a review seeker like me you would’ve ended up here(that is if you were looking to spend under $200 of course). More options for higher prices but, like many of us, are just looking to get the most for our money spent and have it be budget friendly. Otherwise we’d be on Apple purchasing the newest iMac. Can’t say anything bad about it, would recommend to anyone looking for something fast enough to handle daily tasks and or a multitasker looking to work multiple systems. It doesn’t disappoint.

tl;dr: The 2023 Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14" is a great value in a clamshell touchscreen Chromebook with superior battery life and a distant June of 2032 AUE date (two years longer than even the "hot new" HP Dragonfly Pro introduced at the same time.) It does everything a Chromebook should! It has USB-C (which can be used to drive a second display at least FHD), USB A, and a uSD slot. The plastic case feels sturdy and stiff and not cheap; bulkier than the metal-cased HP 13G1 it replaced but is still sub- 3 lbs. FHD resolution screen with a matte anti-reflection surface specs slightly brighter than HP x360 models at this price point. Touchscreen, trackpad, and keyboard are all as expected. Backlit keyboard and a fingerprint reader would be nice but are not typical at this price point. Camera is as expected beyond having a physical shutter. With 4GB of memory and the low power/long battery life MediaTek Kompanio 520 CPU, it has been snappy and responsive in everything I've used it for, constrained only by the network and web; so, this makes it just what a Chromebook should be. It stays cool to the touch doing everything I've asked of it. (If it has a fan, I've never heard it.) My only complaint is that the case finish and color show every fingerprint. The extended AUE date is a cherry on top. Did I mention it has great battery life?

Needed a laptop for DnD. This was a good choice. Its fast, light, and easy to carry around. The touch screen allows me to scroll easily or pick an item on screen, i barely use the mouse i bought for it. Would be great for school too.

Excellent laptop for everyday use: lightweight, with a clear and vibrant touchscreen, long-lasting battery, and smooth performance. Perfect for studying, working, or browsing without any worries

Chromebook user for years, but I’ve always given up features for cost. With this, I didn’t have to. The screen is amazing, keyboard tactile response is spot on, and the speed, overall weight, and size are perfect for ‘armchair’ computing. I love this thing

I am pleased with my purchase- great price, battery life is 14 hours, screen is vivid, its lightweight- and, in fact-im using it right now.

This is actually the first laptop I’ve gotten for myself so I don’t have much to compare it to. But I like it. I’m just using it for personal use, nothing too complex, but I think it’s great. I enjoy the touchscreen feature, and have had no issues with anything. Battery lasts a long time, I have good wifi connection, and it works quicker than expected. No complaints at all!

Perfect size and weight. Screen has crisp and clear pictures. No glitches, easy to use. Have had no issues with this computer. Very happy with this present!

Love how fast light weight and the touch screen on the computer and the resolution of the screen is impressive even for the basic stuff I'm working on.

Very nice light, compact laptop. Chromeos is a lot more ram efficient than windows so the meager 4gb this laptop comes with do not interfere with what is ultimately a very smooth UI. This is a very competent machine that I would recommend to anyone that just needs something for light web browsing, word processing, streaming, and maybe even an android app here and there. Not suitable for anyone looking for program compatibility (Windows is the clear winner here) or gaming.

This laptop does exactly what I need and then some. Quick wake up and fast processing. Monitor screen is bright, crisp and clear. The battery lasts me for the day and it charges quickly.

My first experience with a chromebook has been great. It is fast, lightweight, easy to use and feels durable. Also was offered by Best Buy at a great price.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a great budget laptop for everyday use. The 14" Full HD touchscreen is sharp and responsive, and it runs smoothly for browsing, streaming, and school work. It's lightweight, has excellent battery life, and looks sleek in Abyss Blue. Perfect for students or casual users - great value for the price.

Great chromebook for my daughter who is is primary school. The touch screen is responsive and the processor is fast. So far shes used it for Google Classroom, IXL practice, play games she was playing on my phone, call her grandparents with Whatsapp, and watch movies. All these tasks this Chromebook does well. The battery life is also amazing, i gave had it for about 4 weeks, i think ive onky charged it 4x. Of course its not in continous use. I got it half off, but its worth the regular price.

this is the nicest chromebook !! Perfect size and weight for my needs, runs well. priced nicely, perfect.
