    I loved the overall idea of this model yet felt as if it was just a large android without the phone. I returned it for a Windows model and was much more pleased.

    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!!

    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

      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 Lenovo

    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?
