    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!

      Hey LindsayC, 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. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with us. Lenovo

    Worst experience ever! Bought Chrome book for $300 and 12 days later took my receipt in for a price adjustment as it was marked down to $200. I was told no price adjustment was possible. So I bought a new one for $200 and was in my return window for the $300 purchase so I planned on returning that one the next day but forgot and now I’m outside the return window. So now I have 2 laptops just because I couldn’t get a price adjustment.
