Liking it - A valid replacement for my MAC

Reviewed in the United States on July 26, 2019

The laptop is good. Works well and I havent had any issues with it so far. My only challenges are switching from Apple to this - due to the exorbitant cost of Apple - which has given me some operating system challenges but I am getting there and it's not the fault of the laptop. I had to buy an adapter to run a second screen, which works well and I haven't yet used this laptop for travel related work. I don't foresee any great challenges but who knows. One thing I did need to continue my work on the Chromebook was access to MS Office. I wasn't ready to move over to Google Sheets etc just yet but the MS apps work well. For doc sharing I have found that Dropbox is the most efficient and interacts with the other apps and emails well. Overall, I am happy with my purchase.
Follow up: I have grown to like it even more. I use it a lot with Outlook and associated Word/PowerPoint etc and it definitely needs an SD card(s). I use one for the laptop memory and one to swap data from my older MAC and this. It works great. SD cards are much cheaper these days, and larger in memory size so I already have a library; movies/music/work etc...

One of the best Chromebooks but room for improvement

Reviewed in the United States on November 9, 2020

I have used this Chromebook for over a year for software development. The combination of the largest screen available on the market, sufficiently fast CPU, and excellent battery life make this computer a great choice for serious users that stands out from the competition. It's much nicer to use than the typical 13" laptops, whether in the office, on the couch, on the balcony, in the hammock, or in a cafe.

There are downsides: the keyboard isn't at the high level one expects from a Lenovo computer. Given the bulky case and heavy weight of this computer, the keys should have at least twice the vertical movement for better typing ergonomics. They could also function more reliably than they do on my machine. The screen is way too dim to be usable outdoors and the speakers are nowhere near loud enough to hear half the videos on Youtube. This makes this computer almost useless for media consumption, whether in clamshell or tablet mode. At its price point, this laptop should have peripherals that are at least good enough so that users don't have to worry about them, but that's unfortunately not the case with this model. An option with 16 GB RAM matching the beefy CPU would be nice. I regularly run out of memory when programming using ChromeOS's excellent Linux subsystem. I wouldn't buy this computer again but hope that Lenovo makes a second iteration that doubles down on the excellent concept and fixes the shortcomings that this model ended up with.

This is the Chromebook to learn programming on

Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2019

Style: Lenovo Newest YogaVerified Purchase

I just purchased this Chromebook and just have to say WOW. I can use Chrome OS, Android Apps, and now Linux, I am now able to create programs using Python mainly and just about any other language you can think of. It comes with 128 gigabytes of storage, and 8 gigs of ram which makes it a fast Chromebook. I am a touch typist and really like the keyboard on it. The touch pad is responsive, but I do recommend you use a mouse, depending on what app you are running in Linux or even some Android Apps. You need to be aware that some Android apps will not work right on Chrome OS.

I have installed Libre Office works great , don't need to be online to do basic MicroSoft office type needs.

It has a USB C port on both sides of the laptop and you can charge from either side. My advice is plan on getting a USB C hub when you need to attach other devices. One downside and it needs to be addressed is what stylus pen can work with this Chromebook. I really would like to know if the EMR type pens will work. Right now as far as I know I can't say yes or no.

The perfect laptop

Reviewed in the United States on June 23, 2020

Style: Lenovo Newest YogaVerified Purchase

I love everything about this chromebook. The battery life is amazing. The laptop is slim and light. I like that it can be folded the other way to be used like a tablet. The screen is beautiful and you can watch it normally at many different angles without the picture looking weird like older styles screens. I logged in with my Microsoft account to get full Word and Excel which is awesome to help with the chromebook transition. Fantastic laptop. I haven't found many chromebooks with core i5 so that is an extra bonus.

Easy to use and lightning fast!

Reviewed in the United States on May 12, 2019

Style: Lenovo Newest YogaVerified PurchaseEarly Reviewer Rewards(What's this?)

I was a bit hesitant about switching to a Chromebook and only having 8 gigs of RAM since I do some apps and IoT development on the side. I switched from a seven year old Windows 7 Asus laptop with just 8 gigs of RAM and so far this new Chromebook is outstanding! Plenty of space and with the Linux turned on I can use this for all my developer needs. This Chromebook is lighting fast and has all the tools and apps needed for a personal and development laptop so don't hesitate to make the switch from Windows like I did.

My First Chromebook, and WOW

Reviewed in the United States on April 8, 2019

Style: Lenovo Newest YogaVerified Purchase

I decided it was time for a new computer. I was replacing a 2016 MacBook. I had not heard much about Chromebooks, but it sounded like something I would like. I am a realtor, so almost everything I do is internet based. I never do anything that requires a heavy graphics card, or an extremely fast processor.

This Chromebook is compatible with just about every Android app. This has made my work much more efficient. I was able to download apps that are far easier to use than the internet based websites I was formerly using on my MacBook. I've also noticed that Chrome browser seems significantly faster.

All in all, I'm extremely happy with my decision to move to Chromebook. I truly feel like my productivity has been able to increase, and the time it takes me to complete the same tasks has been shortened! Definitely consider this computer if you're in the market for one.

Alright Enough... While It Worked

Reviewed in the United States on June 10, 2019

Style: Lenovo Newest YogaVerified Purchase

First, the good:
The laptop has a very nice feel, and the aluminum case makes it seem pretty sturdy. Everything felt fast and I enjoyed the screen quality quite a bit.

Unfortunately:
After just a couple of months of VERY intermittent use and with very little moving around, the laptop appears to have malfunctioned and is now stuck in sleep mode, with the power button on the side flashing white with nothing appearing on screen. Normal recovery methods don't work, and the only solution I've found involves opening the laptop and disconnecting/reconnecting the battery (which doesn't even seem to permanently fix the issue). It's easy enough to find details about the problem online, which tells me it's probably not a one-off problem. Either way, i'd recommend going with a different model.

No backlit keyboard

I was disappointed in this chromebook. The biggest flaw is the lack of a backlit keyboard.

Fantastic purchase. Very pleased.

This is only the keyboard as I have put a cover on it. Having used Windows systems in the past, now that I am using a Chromebook I'll never go back. This more than takes care of my needs, syncs with my phone and all I had to do was turn it on to get going. The screen size is perfect. I did have to get a bluetooth keypad but I dont consider that a deterrent from this product. Very happy.

Ordered it April 15, 2020, and I received it today April 17, 2020, seems like a good device so far.

This device does not come with an HDMI connection which means I need to spend more money on an adapter if one is available. September 4, 2020 my charger cord stopped working.
