No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot Enough Memory and Processing
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The regular price on this is $319 and I paid $149, so it was inexpensive. I wanted a device solely for my genealogy research documentation to use instead of my MacBook. I don't have a grasp of what the memory and processor are capable of. I have one google spreadsheet with 12,684 cells and this computer can't process it;(

Posted .Hey KaylaL,
Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We are sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your system. We'd like to work with you to resolve any issues.
To start and clarify, this IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook does come with an HD camera with a Privacy Shutter. Out-of-the-box you may find a graphic covering the camera area, but with this removed, you should be able to us your camera and the privacy shutter.
If the graphic is removed but you are still having trouble with your camera, please attempt to do a hardware reset. To learn how to do so, please visit the following link to a Google Support webpage with details: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA, which the process will reboot the embedded controller that manages various system components, including the camera.
With the privacy shutter, please be sure the Privacy Shutter is completely open before trying to use the webcam or the webcam will not operate. There is a small slider, directly above the webcam lens. Move the tab to the right to open the Privacy Shutter. There is a red dot over the webcam lens that will disappear when the Privacy Shutter is fully open. This will indicate that the webcam is really to use. You can close the Privacy Shutter when you are done with the webcam for your security, by sliding the tab to the left to close the Privacy Shutter. The Red Dot will appear over the webcam lens when the Privacy Shutter is closed.
We hope that this information helps you. Please reach out to us should you have any questions or need further assistance.
Best regards,
Lenovo
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.

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?

Frustrated
||Posted . Owned for 3 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Won’t stay connected to Internet. Apparently this is a known problem with the product that I didn’t see beforehand. But it’s very frustrating to have to restart all of the time when it disconnects from the internet. I lost projects I was working in due to this
