Customer Ratings & Reviews

tl;dr: The 2023 Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14" is a great value in a clamshell touchscreen Chromebook with superior battery life and a distant June of 2032 AUE date (two years longer than even the "hot new" HP Dragonfly Pro introduced at the same time.) It does everything a Chromebook should! It has USB-C (which can be used to drive a second display at least FHD), USB A, and a uSD slot. The plastic case feels sturdy and stiff and not cheap; bulkier than the metal-cased HP 13G1 it replaced but is still sub- 3 lbs. FHD resolution screen with a matte anti-reflection surface specs slightly brighter than HP x360 models at this price point. Touchscreen, trackpad, and keyboard are all as expected. Backlit keyboard and a fingerprint reader would be nice but are not typical at this price point. Camera is as expected beyond having a physical shutter. With 4GB of memory and the low power/long battery life MediaTek Kompanio 520 CPU, it has been snappy and responsive in everything I've used it for, constrained only by the network and web; so, this makes it just what a Chromebook should be. It stays cool to the touch doing everything I've asked of it. (If it has a fan, I've never heard it.) My only complaint is that the case finish and color show every fingerprint. The extended AUE date is a cherry on top. Did I mention it has great battery life?

Excellent laptop for everyday use: lightweight, with a clear and vibrant touchscreen, long-lasting battery, and smooth performance. Perfect for studying, working, or browsing without any worries

Love how fast light weight and the touch screen on the computer and the resolution of the screen is impressive even for the basic stuff I'm working on.

Chromebook user for years, but I’ve always given up features for cost. With this, I didn’t have to. The screen is amazing, keyboard tactile response is spot on, and the speed, overall weight, and size are perfect for ‘armchair’ computing. I love this thing

This is actually the first laptop I’ve gotten for myself so I don’t have much to compare it to. But I like it. I’m just using it for personal use, nothing too complex, but I think it’s great. I enjoy the touchscreen feature, and have had no issues with anything. Battery lasts a long time, I have good wifi connection, and it works quicker than expected. No complaints at all!

I am pleased with my purchase- great price, battery life is 14 hours, screen is vivid, its lightweight- and, in fact-im using it right now.

Perfect size and weight. Screen has crisp and clear pictures. No glitches, easy to use. Have had no issues with this computer. Very happy with this present!

Very nice light, compact laptop. Chromeos is a lot more ram efficient than windows so the meager 4gb this laptop comes with do not interfere with what is ultimately a very smooth UI. This is a very competent machine that I would recommend to anyone that just needs something for light web browsing, word processing, streaming, and maybe even an android app here and there. Not suitable for anyone looking for program compatibility (Windows is the clear winner here) or gaming.

This laptop does exactly what I need and then some. Quick wake up and fast processing. Monitor screen is bright, crisp and clear. The battery lasts me for the day and it charges quickly.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a great budget laptop for everyday use. The 14" Full HD touchscreen is sharp and responsive, and it runs smoothly for browsing, streaming, and school work. It's lightweight, has excellent battery life, and looks sleek in Abyss Blue. Perfect for students or casual users - great value for the price.

My first experience with a chromebook has been great. It is fast, lightweight, easy to use and feels durable. Also was offered by Best Buy at a great price.

this is the nicest chromebook !! Perfect size and weight for my needs, runs well. priced nicely, perfect.

Great chromebook for my daughter who is is primary school. The touch screen is responsive and the processor is fast. So far shes used it for Google Classroom, IXL practice, play games she was playing on my phone, call her grandparents with Whatsapp, and watch movies. All these tasks this Chromebook does well. The battery life is also amazing, i gave had it for about 4 weeks, i think ive onky charged it 4x. Of course its not in continous use. I got it half off, but its worth the regular price.

I just recently purchased this laptop and I am so amazed how it was so worth buying. It was very light weight, which is a plus for me who works and travels. Plus it works so fast. And for the price of less than $200, so worth it. This is the first time I bought a different brand that my usual brand. I am very satisfied with this purchase and I highly recommend it.

This is a great little chromebook. The laptop is fast, has a great display, and like all chromebooks, easy to use. We only use it for email and the like, and really purchased it for travel, when we want to be able to pay bills and keep in touch with friends and family. It is perfect for that kind of thing, but also can be used for most daily tasks that don't require a lot of storage on board. For example, I wouldn't try to put a word processor or spreadsheet program on it. But for all web-based activity it is fine. I'm not a gamer, so I can't comment on that aspect, but the screen looks quite good.

I love my Chromebook! It's the perfect size, perfect weight - it's light but not too small. I love the color, the touchscreen, the visual quality, the functionality, the built-in security, everything is great! I just wish they let us have Microsoft Word, PowerPoint, Excel, and all of that on Chromebook because Google Play doesn't let me download it for my computer. I also think it's odd that when I shut the laptop, it just opens everything when I open it again, it doesn't lock when I close it. That's probably a thing I can change in settings, and I know I can lock it before I close it, it's just not what I was used to with my old laptop. Other than that it's great!

This is my 5th Chromebook and my favorite. Great battery life, lightweight, good speakers and screen for the money. Highly recommend.

I wasn't looking for a laptop when I saw this Chromebook. I use my phone as my computer. Sometimes it's easier to use a computer. This is perfect! Small size. Long battery life! It was changed out of the box, I've used it a couple of times, and it still hasn't been charged!

I’m really impressed with the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook. The 14" Full HD touchscreen is crisp and responsive, and the MediaTek Kompanio 520 handles everyday tasks smoothly. It’s lightweight, stylish in Abyss Blue, and perfect for browsing, streaming, and light work. A solid choice for anyone who wants simplicity and speed without breaking the bank!

I love this Chromebook, it’s lightweight, fast speed and great battery life. It gets the job done and the price was an added bonus. This color is also amazing.
