LenovoIdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook, 14″ FHD IPS Anti-Glare Touchscreen, MediaTek Kompanio 520, 4GB LPDDR4X, 224GB Storage(64GB eMMC+160GB Docking Station Set), Webcam, WiFi 6, Chrome OS, Blue

I was looking for something to do basic tasks (web, word processing and web site maintenance) this Chromebook boots fast and lets me get to work quickly. And the battery life is great; so far I’ve been able to get more than 9 hours of battery life with it.UPDATE 11.2019 -- I stick by my review and have even taken it on a couple of business trips and used it during meetings. The battery life certainly is one of its strongest assets. As other people were plugging in laptops about 4 hours into a recent meeting I was in, I never had to reach for mine. The keyboard also is very quiet and comfortable. There isn't a lot of onboard storage for files, but I keep a couple of USB drives with me and I also have an external drive that's powered through the USB port. When I need to use a mouse, I use a Logitech blutooth model, which allows me to keep the single USB port available for the external hard drive or USB drive. I've also connected this Chromebook to an external monitor via the HDMI port with no problems -- it wasn't even necessary to configure anything as the Chromebook just recognized it was there, so I had an expanded desktop. For traveling and doing work on the road, it definitely fits my needs. The price also is tough to beat for a budget Chromebook.

This Chromebook is outstanding - perfect reminder of what a Chromebook should be (cheap, long battery, zippy web browsing, worry free usage, optimized port selection). The size is right, the keys feel great, the track pad is fine. The screen resolution is perfect for a Chromebook. I like how well this thing keeps a charge, and charges quickly. USB-C can't be beat, and it still has a headphone jack, HDMI, regular USB and a slot for SD cards. If you're in the market for a Chromebook, you can't do much better especially for the price. The previous Lenovo Chromebook I had is still kicking - I can't believe how much value I get out of a sub-$180 laptop. Just wanted something a little bigger than the 11" Chromebook I already had. Perfect for traveling.Keep in mind:- Not a PC or a Mac (if that is really truly what you think you want or need, look elsewhere and expect to spend 3x)- Do you research about what a Chromebook actually is. All you 1, 2, and 3 star reviewers complaining that its not a PC or Macbook look like goobers in your reviews. It's essentially a web-browser, which for most people is all you need (Facebook, Netflix, look at memes, email, pay bills online, etc.). You can even use the browser version of the Microsoft suite if you're feeling in the mood to do some work.- Even if the price was 2x, you can't complain about the screen resolution, or the hard drive size, or the lack of back-lit keyboard.- Plenty of RAM for what you intend to do on a Chromebook- Not a touch-screen. Don't be surprised.Things I'd like to see improved:- Give me an 8GB RAM option just for kicks. 4 is fine, but RAM is cheap these days.- Flush-mount SD Card slot

My wife and I love this laptop! We are almost happy that our old Lenovo with Windows7 finally stopped working. It is easy to use, light weight and portable. The display is older technology but is totally usable.We both love that it is not Microsoft Windows.

We've been so satisfied with this Chromebook model that we have one for each of our 4 school age children. They have withstood much wear and tear, and we've only had to replace one of them over the years (which we replaced with another of the same model). My husband is an IT professional and chose this model for our kids for it's quality and price balance.

TL;DR: If you're an average user who just browses the internet, uses social media, checks and sends email, uses a few apps, does school or work projects from home, or watches YouTube/streams shows, this Chromebook is for you!PROS:Fast boot up and shut down timesEasy automatic updatesCan't get virusesIt comes preloaded with all the basic apps for freeSmooth and fast web browsingVery little to no lag while using one app and one or a few tabs at a timeGood build qualityLong battery lifeGood size and very portableClear and bright basic screenGood sound quality from the speakersExpandable storage via SD card slotBig multi-touch touchpadWell spaced chicklet keyboardCONS:Very limited ports including only one USB portScreen is only HD (720p)Very limited built-in storageBasic processor and limited RAMNo touch screenNo backlit keyboardBottom line: If you don't play video games, edit photos/video/audio/etc, if you aren't a power user who uses multiple apps and multiple tabs at one time, then this device is for you. If you're an average everyday user, for the price, this device is really good.

I really like this. The only issue I have with it is that it is only 720P, but for a 14in screen that isn't a real big deal for me. I think it's clear. The battery life is great on it. It lasts for a good 8-10 hours on a full charge. It's a chromebook, you don't really need it to be very powerful. So for what I use it for it works great. I use it for surfing the net and streaming video's on SlingTV, amazon prime video, and curiosity stream. I would buy this again knowing what I know. The price is right. It's a great buy.

We bought this for the most recent school Covid closures last January, and to have as a backup. Definitely nice for a Chromebook. If you Google reviews on this model, you'll see it's highly regarded. But don't expect any wow factor such as a high res screen, it's simply a dependable and reliable product for the price.

Not the fastest, not the most perfect, screen quality seems to be on the lower end, some RGB is off, speaker also not the best, but happy with it so far for it's price. Totally ok for doing some light work on google drive. Battery life is good, best thing is I can use the quik app for gopro control.

El equipo es muy bueno en cuanto la relación precio-calidad. Ahora bien, hay dos modelos y uno de ellos tiene la pantalla táctil. Así que sería bueno que los vendedores definan bien esto.Un detalle de diseño es que no tiene entrada USB por ambos lados, eso resta comodidad a la hora de por ejemplo tener un mouse.

Wow, I really love this Chromebook. I was searching so long for a good one after purchasing a regular laptop and failing with that purchase during a Black Friday sale. This Chromebook has everything I need, and I love the look and feel of it. High quality, good keyboard, fast response. Easy for me to carry around in my bag when I'm running around town and I'm small. Very happy customer.

Great lap top for the price paid. Very functional and sleek
