    I thought I was buying a laptop. I don’t even use it because it’s just different. I was happy about the price that I didn’t really know it wasn’t the same.

    Not the fastest but if you are doing the bare minimum of just watching videos then this laptop is for you. But don’t expect it to do too much.

    Hugely frustrating. I lose the internet connection several times in a day and have to turn it off, then back on to reset. I have done a power wash to reset to factory specs without any effect. There are lots of reports of this problem on the web. Most replies point to the router being the problem but in my case and many others that is not the case. Bluetooth also frequently won’t synch with my mouse requiring opening the settings app and doing a reset for it, too.

    This item is sleek and beautiful. That is where all stops. I have excellent computer skills, but this one has has all apps opening only in a tiny window. It freezes. I am not sure if it is bogged down with boat wear or defective. I do have the protective plan and we will be making an appt to take to best buy. Still I have never had a laptop so this. Last Christmas I bought 5 HP chromebooks and none of them did this. They were only $79.00 Extremely unhappy with this purchase. I paid $149 on Black Friday. This is enough to put me off this brand forever.

    World of disappointment for stepdaughter...

    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 got this as a Christmas present for my 10-year-old daughter. We signed in with a new Google account for her and spent time figuring out an email and password. Then every time she wanted to get on the Chromebook, it had her sign in, but then said that her account wasn’t working. After several attempts, I needed to delete that account and redo the whole set up. And the next day it still didn’t work. It has been nothing but a hassle to try and get working.

      Hey DeneA, we're sorry to hear that you ran into this issue with your Chromebook. To try to resolve this, try doing a hardware reset (visit the following link to learn how to do so: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA), which reboots the embedded controller that manages your touchpad. If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to factory reset your Chromebook, which you can learn more about towards the bottom of the webpage tied to the previously embedded link. Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. Lenovo

    Nice chromebook; however, my son in high school had a less expensive chromebook that lasted him through middle school. One month using this at school and we have to take in for a repair as the screen was damaged somehow while in his book bag.
