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

I can't say enough good things about this Chromebook. Big beautiful screen. It's lightweight so I can carry it anywhere. I love Chromebooks for ease of use. I have a regular laptop but I always have a Chromebook wandering around the house somewhere. I like to keep the Chromebook in the living room where I can grab it to do quick internet things or answer emails. for tasks that are bigger than I want to do on my phone and for when I don't want to go to my office to do them. I had not bought a new Chromebook since 2019 and they've come so far since then. That one is still going but I and I expect this one will be alive for many many years.

I bought this two years ago during Prime Day after using MacBooks primarily for 20 years. I needed a device to access the Internet for work and watch streaming services on during my downtime. This device has been great and I have had no issues. I am able to easily access my work Google account with this device also.

Good experience!

I purchased this for my wife and she loves it. Very simple to use. It has slot of storage, good picture. The battery life is very good.

My very first Chromebook and there has been a deep learning curve. I only needed a laptop for internet and internet related activity. My old windows laptop finally would no longer start. Do not ever buy an HP product. I have had issues with all of them and will never buy from them again. This new machine is perfect and very very quick. I love it.

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.(I decided to keep it. I’m going to see if I can use an external DAC to improve audio quality. I’ll update review once I do.)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.

Great new Chromebook. Large screen. Sound is so so. I will hook up external speakers. Got 700 Mbps download from 1G service. 8 gig RAM. A good price point for this machine. I'd recommend this, absolutely.

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.
