Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook, 15.6” FHD Display, Intel Celeron N4500, 8GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, 1920x1080 px, 720p Camera, Chrome OS, Abyss Blue

Love my new chromebook. Nothing to say except it's the right size 15.6" and has everything you need. Set up was a breeze. The material seems high quality and battery life has been great.

This laptop was a gift to a family member. They chose this Chromebook because it has great features and memory.

When I realized 98% of what I do is Internet based, I switched from searching for a windows based laptop to a Chromebook. By purchasing this, I saved several hundred dollars and couldn’t be happier. Is a great size and designed like a windows laptop so ease of use is intuitive and connects like any other device. Runs as it should and time will tell how durable it is but so far I’m very happy. Of note though, the functionality is different than windows and does take some getting used to. A web search will help in that regard and will tell you the limitations of a Chromebook vs laptop and help you decide if this can be a viable option for your needs. Honestly love that it’s blue and not black - not a consideration but helps delineate between my work laptop and my personal Chromebook without difficulty from across the room.

You get a lot of computer for the buck! This was a great deal and I am really happy with my decision.

So far very happy . Takes a little getting used to since it has a different os, but so far so good. Battery life is good, nice and thin and lightweight.

Bluetooth connection seems spotty. The onboard soundcard is likely of low quality or damaged. Tried two different bluetooth devices and sound produced is corrupted and warbled.The sound produced by the built in speakers is terrible, tin sounding. The picture quality is adequate I tried some GeforceNow gaming and gameplay seemed great and Wifi signal is solid.HUGE bummer about audio issues I'm going to have to return.Another issue of concern is the battery life, it is advertised to be at least 10 hours. But after charging it says 4 hours battery left, it slowly counts up, but I've never seen it say 10 hours of battery left. The battery drains too fast.

After using my wife's Chromebook off and on for a couple of years, I decided that a Chromebook would suffice to eliminate an old Win 8 laptop that really should have been retired much sooner. One factor that came into play here was that I have a 2021 Lenovo PC for multimedia work, and really like it. Been very impressed with how far things have come with some of these companies.Our first Chromebook had 6 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, which was fine, but I tend to do more multimedia stuff so I wanted more RAM and a number pad. This machine was the only one that matched those specs, with 8GB RAM, number pad and very good processor compared to many others at the price point.I've had the machine 24 hours, and this is my immediate reaction...- I could have done without the number pad in favor of a symmetrically aligned keybed with full sized TAB key. The TAB key on our other Chromebook is 2.5 cm. This one is 2 cm. That might not seem like much, but it is messing with my typing speed. Likewise, the off center keybed puts my left hand right on the edge of the case which is not very comfortable. Still need to try some longer writing sessions to see how this fares. For someone with smaller hands, this might not be a concern.- I still can not rename the Chromebook Device ID, despite using all of Google's help suggestions, so I have logged a ticket with Lenovo. As a power user, I don't like that I can't easily access this feature from my Google account.Due to the typing comfort issue, I have considered returning this machine. But I want to see if I can get used to it. I am also ordering a Bluetooth mouse that has a built-in transceiver. The one I have now uses a dongle, which juts out and prevents easy storage in my bag.UPDATE: I've had this two solid weeks and I hate the keyboard design. It actually hurts my hand to use this machine. The left-hand side of the keyboard forces you to impale yourself with the edge of the case to get anywhere near a productive typing posture. I really tried to get used to this, but the laptop is getting returned for that reason alone. As if that was not enough, the connection to my WIFI printer mysteriously stopped working after two weeks. Even after a powerwash, I couldn't not get this working again, and then the Bluetooth mouse connection stopped working as well. It's a shame really, because this machine has decent specs - but none of that matters of the design is poor. Glad I kept the box.
