Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5 13" Laptop, FHD Touch Display, Intel Core i3-10110U, 4GB RAM, 64GB Storage, Chrome OS

I've had this laptop since 2022. The things I like are the price, backlit keyboard, a comfortable keyboard, like the touch screen, and for simple everyday use, it works very well.Things that aren't so great are the think pad mouse can be difficult to right and left mouse click. Not aggressively so but I played some basic games and it can get touchy. I don't ever use the ipad option. If you don't fold it slowly it can mess up the latches. I still like it but I think it's just early for that type of manufacturing/ technology development. And the sound of the speakers could be higher.I think overall for the price it's a great value especially if you're looking for a simple everyday computer. It fit my budget and the ipad option is still fun. If I had a good case I would probably use it more because I'm afraid of dropping it because of the lack of grip. I use it every day and I really enjoy it. I think this would be great for students looking for a basic computer or for traveling. Great lightweight build and reliable. Definitely has gotten hit around and has been great.

The 15.6" Full HD screen is a standout feature. It offers sharp images with vibrant colors. Perfect for work, streaming, or browsing. With 64GB eMMC, you might think storage is limited. It's not. For a Chromebook, which uses cloud-based storage, 64GB is plenty. Plus, it contributes to the laptop's fast performance.Battery life? It's top-notch! This laptop can power through a whole workday without needing a charge. It also has a good selection of ports for connecting other devices.In short, the Lenovo Chromebook is an excellent option. Whether you're a student, professional, or casual user, it's versatile and performs well. It’s well worth a solid 5-star rating!

I got this on sale for $299. A definite sweet spot for this level of device. I've been using this as my primary driver for almost 3 months and I've been greatly surprised at how satisfied I am with it. The only two things that are keeping it from being 5 stars is the issue with the weaker right hinge and the screen brightness. The screen is plenty bright for inside use, but definitely can't handle competing with direct sunlight. I can confirm the right hinge isn't built with the same supports as the left hinge which will make it less sturdy. I'm being cautious when opening/closing and it's holding up for me. But I don't think that it would hold up to any kids who aren't old enough to understand that. The speed and battery life are both really nice for your general use. You will want to charge it every day if you like to keep it topped off. But it easily lasts watching videos on cross country flights, and charges relatively fast. Some "heavy" gameplay will drain it considerably quicker. But if you're at home, keeping it plugged in will solve that issue. I'd recommend it to most anyone.

Pros:- This thing SLAPS with the i3 processor. No lags, no slowing this puppy down. One of the few Chromebooks with the added oomph of something that's not an Atom.- Touchscreen is responsive and works great.- The matte finish is a welcome change, as it actually feels great under your wrists and doesn't get oily. Makes it feel more expensive than it actually is.- Being able to utilize this for three different jobs, all with different logins is great.- Battery life is better than a regular laptop, but maybe a bit worse than a small Chromebook. It's a happy medium.- Linking to my Google Pixel is a breeze, and will automatically utilize your phone data when you're on the go. Can also pull up messages, etc.Cons:- The audio is, quite frankly, terrible. It's tinny, located on the top of the laptop, and maybe the lone drawback. If you can get past not utilizing the laptop speakers and utilizing Bluetooth instead, it's a non-issue.- Occasionally gets the quirks of being a Chromebook (stuck in tablet mode, etc.). This is more of a Google issue than anything else, and can happen to any Chromebook.This thing SLAPS. Go ahead and buy it for the price. You won't regret it.

I, along with my special friend, spent nearly two weeks reading many dozens of online user reviews as well as articles & ratings from "the experts." I found myself suddenly needing a new computer ASAP 2 weeks into the semester, but I was lucky enough to be able to borrow one to use while I took my time & found the absolute best option for my price range. The prevailing opinion among those in the know is that this is the best Chromebook out there for under $500. After 6 weeks of use, I'd have to agree. Battery life is great, it's fairly lightweight, fast, easy to use, and I'm enjoying the backlit keyboard and foldable design more than I expected to. Also has a power jack on easy side - which is a small detail that has proved to be very nice to have. The only thing I'm not absolutely thrilled with is the audio volume (quality is fine!) but I have a nice Bluetooth speaker/headphones so that's a very easy fix. This isn't even an issue at all so far for my online classes, only on occasion when watching certain movies or shows. There ARE cheaper computers/Chromebooks out there but if you can afford this one, I absolutely, enthusiastically recommend! I've never loved any electronic device so much, and it arrived very quickly and well packaged and in pristine condition.
