Don’t buy-went dark after one week!!
||Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Hope I can return this! It is a piece of junk. I bought this one week ago- 7 days!!! Slow running and cheap finishes. But I don’t really care too much about a laptop/chromebook as long as it works- I pay bills and shop only. Last night I plugged this laptop into charger- it was still over 50% charged- this morning it is dead I can’t get it to do anything. Yes I have tried other outlets, reset buttons , all that my phone search has suggested for me to do …piece of junk- just bought a HP , fingers crossed

||Posted . Owned for 6 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.In the 6 months I’ve owned this laptop I’ve had problem after problem. I’ve had it in multiple times for warranty work. Most recently they replaced the motherboard, touchpad and USB ports. STILL DIDN’T FIX IT. Imagine my surprise after it was sent out of state for nearly two weeks and the number keys still don’t work which was my #1 issue when I took it in. Beyond disappointed. I’ll never own this brand again. Buy something else and save yourself the trouble.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendNot as good as HP - freezes often.
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.I bought this a month ago after my HP Chromebook got the "black screen of death" after 4 years. Not happy with the purchase. I usually have about 6 tabs open, and if I open a recipe for example that has graphics in it, it freezes the other tabs. Not a good value.

Posted .Hi, DonitaH. We're sorry to hear that you're unsatisfied with your Slim 3 Chromebook. To try to resolve this and ensure optimal performance, we recommend checking that your Chromebook is up to date by opening Settings > About ChromeOS > Check for updates. Also, if using a number of tabs in the Chrome browser, try to minimize background tasks to free up system memory and processing. Please feel free to reach out to Lenovo Support for further help should these tips not work out for you. Thank you for taking the time to share your perspective with us.
Don't get it, super slow and crashes
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This is so excruciatingly slow. It also randomly shuts down when Im working on it which is very disappointing since I bought it a month ago. The keyboard also sucks: it's so difficult and cumbersome to type. I would not recommend it if you want to easily browse or stream anything. Save your money, this is overpriced trash.

Posted .Hi Summy,
We're sorry to hear that your experience with your Slim 3 Chromebook has been so poor. To try to help improve your ease of use from a software perspective, 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 various system components.
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. Also, you can contact Lenovo Support via an outlet that is most convenient for you for further assistance.

Defective after 1 month- Exchange also defective
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a Christmas gift for my 13 year old niece. After one month of light use (Probably just Roblox TBH) the screen went black and it never came back on, no lights, no anything. Best Buy gave me the run around about a return, ended up letting me exchange it. **BUT** they were unable to exchange because the device they were going to ship to me was also defective before they even shipped it so they cancelled the exchange and claim to be issuing a refund when they receive the original one back. This thing is a piece of junk. Save your money and buy something better.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendBarely lasted
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought in June. Now less than three months later the camera is not functioning correctly. Seems to be an internal hardware issue. It’s blocked out over three quarters of the screen and blurry the remainder. Have checked every possible solution. To no avail. Waste of money!

Posted .Hey, PatriciaH. We are sorry to hear that you are having issues with the webcam on your Chromebook. To try to resolve this, first, 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. If your camera is still not functional, we then recommend that you reach out to Lenovo Support here: 877-453-6686, for further assistance.

I would recommend this to a friendRun away from Lenovo devices
||Posted . Owned for 2 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Never buy Lenovo Chromebook ever. This is my second Chromebook that died in as many years. The first one died exactly a month after warranty expired. This second one is already giving speaker and audio problems within 6 weeks. Lenovo support and customer care is a joke and the worst possible team. Not at all easy reach them or get a straight answer. Got a techy friend to help me fix it. He helped me fix the issue in an hour for which Lenovo wanted me to wipe clean the Chromebook, share my Google password with them and ship it to them for 15+ days. Poorly made products that don't last at all. Save your money and sanity by not buying a Lenovo Chromebook
No, I would not recommend this to a friendGood for students
||Posted . Owned for 5 months when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Good for school work. However, it is slower than expected when multitasking.
I would recommend this to a friendBad Charging Port
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.This was a great little Chromebook. But once the warranty period expired, the USB-C charging port started acting up. I would have to position the cable connector just right before it would charge. It got progressively worse over time. After a few more months, it stopped charging. By wiggling the connector, I could get the charging light to come on briefly. But now nothing. Based on my research, this is a common issue with Lenovo laptops.

No, I would not recommend this to a friendFreeze up
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It sometimes has to be restarted because cursor freezes up.
No, I would not recommend this to a friendToy, not for adults
||Posted . Owned for 2 weeks when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s ok. I’ve had to restart probably 3 or 4 times when I use it for about 3 or 4 hours. Loses connection and kicks me out, real pain when on virtual classes. I would return but the Black Friday sales are off and can’t get another one for 149. Would not buy again. Should have went with the Samsung or HP. This is a toy not a tool
No, I would not recommend this to a friendNice Value
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.The device itself is fine, it's just the interface that take a while to get used to.
