Issues out of the box
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Myriad connectivity problems and a mishmash of minor technical issues all equate to being frustrated with the machine despite the savings. Don't be afraid to buy a little higher end and save yourself some headaches.

I would recommend this to a friendHORRIBLE computers
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.These computers were such a waste of money. not even 30 days later It says I'm passed my returnable time. Both of my sons are constantly having to restart their computers because it just stops work, stops being connected to internet. restarting always does the trick, but we do homeschool and it the biggest pain in the but when we have to restart between and during every class!!
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBuyer Beware!
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I purchased this device for my daughter to use for school. She used the device for approximately 3 months before it went black and stopped working! We were well within the manufactor's warranty and they DENIED to fix it and shared that it wasnt covered under the "limited warranty" and told me it would cost 150$ to repair it. It will not turn on. Buyer beware!

Posted .Hi A123,
Thank you for sharing your feedback and concerns with us. We are sorry to hear that you are dissatisfied with the operating system and its requirements, along with the design. We wish to share that Chromebook devices do require a Google account for setup, not too dissimilar to (if you're familiar with Windows systems) Windows 11 devices requiring a Microsoft account to setup the system.
We appreciate your comment regarding the exterior finish of the device, as we will investigate this point to make the necessary design improvements.
Please feel free to reach out to us via the Q&A section of the product page to share any further comments or questions, as your satisfaction is important to us.
Best regards,
Lenovo

DO NOT PURCHASE CHROMEBOOK GET WINDOWS
||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Worst tech ever! I rather use my android tablet, it does way more then this Chromebook. I am totally disappointed with this brand as well. I keep having to power wash the thing, the function keep lagging and it feels like it is being controlled by another device. I enter the correct password to the wifi and it is telling me it is incorrect, as well as my google account password. This device is a hot mess! Can I get my money back?

I would recommend this to a friendWorld of disappointment for stepdaughter...
||Posted . Owned for 4 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I got this for my stepdaughter for Christmas since she needed a Chromebook for school anyway. I understand why the price was and is what it is. It's laggy, it has connectivity issues, and the feel of the laptop all around is cheap. She has problems when using it and hardly uses it unless she MUST. That's not a gift I'm proud to say I bought her.

I hate it but I guess you get what you pay for
