Customers are saying

Customers appreciate the IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook for its overall performance, user-friendliness, and responsive touchscreen. The long-lasting battery, satisfactory speed, reasonable price, and lightweight design are also well-received. While the laptop is praised, some users find the RAM and storage capacity to be somewhat limited.

    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.

    Run away from Lenovo devices

    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

    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.

    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
