Excellent laptop for what I need to do at this stage of my life. It arrived in perfect condition and the price wsa right.

Purchased this Chromebook because my husband has mobility issues making it hard for him to climb stairs to use the PC upstairs. It was pretty easy to set up and connect with the Wi Fi. We purchased the extended warranty from Asurion. The extended warranty offers a team that can be called for tech support for set up and any issues or questions. That was very helpful for learning since I had never had a laptop for Chromebook before. The person I spoke with was very easy to understand and completely helpful. Initially, I could not connect with my Dell printer (Wi fi) upstairs. Tech support had me do an update and easily helped me with settings to use to search for the printer. They did tell me that the Chromebook may not work with older printers. My printer is a bit older but has been doing fine.For some reason the Wi Fi signal is frequently weak, but I have not taken the time to question tech support about this and I admit we do not have the best internet service in the small town we live in. The only thing that seems to affect it is logging onto my AT&T Yahoo email account. The Chromebook is Google and the Gmail account logs on without any issues in the direct link.Overall, I have been completely satisfied with this Chromebook and would recommend it. We use it to search the internet, read email, order things (Amazon, pizza, etc) and it works well for our needs.

I waited 3 months before writing this review. I love my laptop! I walk around the house like "you better not be touching my laptop" all day lmao.Ive had two minor issues to note- 1: my onscreen keyboard does not work when in tablet mode without it being updated. Easy fix.. keep it updated lol2- Sometimes my streaming apps close/act wonky. That's upsetting and I have found no fix but I did do a little researching, finding that these are not streaming laptops and what not. Idk why it exactly does it, it just does. Ill restart the app and 9/10 it works. Kinda my only real complaint! Its light for the size, picture is good, vibrant, its not super quick but idek what I mean there cause it isnt slow lol all in all I love it! Its the best laptop Ive had outside of a MacBook so far.EDIT!! Okay so today is August 14th, 2 months after my review and my laptop no longer turns on!! I am PISSED as my classes start tomorrow morning. Idk what happened as I always shut it down and even delete things I no longer need. I hoped it would last at least a year! 😒😒😒😒 now I have to order a new f****** laptop who has money for that every 5 f****** months!! Stop selling refurbished stuff cause it says NEW when it clearly ISNT!

I'm experiencing a learning curve from handing in my old Dell laptop (retirement) to getting used to this new machine. Some things are great - no more long wait times for the laptop to boot up, for example. I also like the customization of the dock (although my laptop also was nicely customized), showing me the most often used apps I need access to. However, I HATE not having lit keys on the keyboard. This one is totally on me, as I thought that I had narrowed my wish list down to devices with a lit keyboard.Since the Lenovo has limited storage (though mine does have 64GB of local storage), I purged my old files from my Dell onto a portable hard drive and moved my important daily-need files into two clouds: pCloud (2 TB) and a personal free OneDrive cloud. The latter is extremely helpful if you wish to edit your existent Windows docs and Excel sheets as you will still be able to do that in the cloud. If you open these MS files inside a Chromebook, they will either be non-editable or be converted to Google docs and sheets (as per your setting). The file explorer can be linked directly to your clouds (most of the common ones, at least), so that you can download items onto the Lenovo, then pull them over into the cloud storage folders you specify. That's a really helpful feature.Transitioning from Windows Outlook onto Google calendar was hard. :( The Lenovo allows the Google Calendar icon to appear on the dock, which is very helpful; nevertheless you might have a hard time getting used to the new "universe" if you're not Google-familiar.I played around with this machine while it wasn't plugged in and it lasted forever. That is really nice. Plus it doesn't run HOT like my old Dell did!I like the built-in calculator, which makes this a larger device, not something that is easily toted around. I miss the ability to lock the calculator to prevent accidental inputs. The Lenovo's calculator is just a web app that you can pin to the dock. The actual calculations seem to be running online rather than on your device (hence no lock).The sound is accessed by clicking on the time icon on the lower right. It took me a while to figure out as the two sound icons on top of the keyboard didn't seem to be functional. I initially took off a point for the lack of sound control via keyboard. But in the meantime, I found the manual for this machine and learned that the launcher icon (the white circle between the "tab" and the "shift" keys) must be pressed for any of the function keys to work. The launcher by itself shows you the available apps, files, and images. It will also show you a page with the keyboard short cuts.If you like quick access to Google apps (Maps, YouTube, Photos, Keep) and other apps (Netflix, Prime Video, your password manager), you can pin them directly to the dock and they will either open in full-screen mode or within your browser. You can pin quite a few. I have 12 apps pinned right now, but there is room for more.You can also pin your favorite files to the right of the dock for quick access. In addition, if you have an android phone, messages will flash quickly on the right part of the dock. This is great for two-factor authentication, as you don't even need your phone nearby.So all around, there is stuff to learn if you're new to a Chromebook, but this Lenovo has you covered.

Very nice. Big screen for a Chromebook.

This is the only 15.6 inch touchscreen laptop that comes with 8GB ram and is under USD 400 (in August 2025). I am a long time chromebook user so I knew exactly what functions I should expect when I ordered it. The CPU is not fast, probably slower than the i3-1115G4 in my other chrombook got in 2023; but it saves power and provides a longer battery time. And a pause of a second or two in some tasks is not really too troublesome. Afterall, the touchscreen would save a lot of time from solely relying on the trackpad.

This is my first Chromebook computer and I love it. Boots up and shuts down in seconds. You can also store files on the computer as well. Great computer for the price.
