LenovoIdeaPad 3 Chromebook 14inch FHD Laptop (MediaTek MT8183, 4 GB RAM, 64GB eMMC, ARM Mali-G72 MP3 Graphics, Chrome OS) – Abyss Blue

Turned this on and it connected to my Wi-Fi without issue...and then on the very next line of text told me that my Wi-Fi wasn't available? Went into Guest Mode and it worked fine, so I knew that it was connecting just fine, but it wouldn't let me pass this screen.Two hours and a lot of raging later, I figured it out. You need to login as Guest then hit Ctrl + Alt + t and then type in 'autest.' Give it about 5 minutes and then hit the settings cog (bottom-right corner), then About Chrome OS. It should start doing an auto update and then you can use the computer.Once all that was out of the way, the Chromebook was great. The trackpad is responsive, the keys are nice to use, sound quality is surprisingly loud and battery life is ridiculously good. Perfect for what I want to use it for (Google Docs, YouTube), but that initial setup of the laptop is a pain.

For the price this Chromebook is a bargain. It is never going to set the world on fire with it's performance, but for the money this is a nice and serviceable laptop with reasonable performance. Browsing the web performance is decent as well as light productivity. The speakers are on the quiet side are not loud, but they are nice and clear.What I have found here is a decent all round budget Chromebook, it doesn't stand out in anyway whatsoever, but just gets along as a serviceable machine and always feels responsive enough.

Bought this for my wife to help her doing some course work. It is literally the bare minimum Chromebook. Lowest possible specs and build quality, that said the price is shockingly low for a Chromebook. And to be fair it works.If you want a better built machine that is faster pay more money. This is perfectly adequate for a little browsing and document editing.Overall 4 stars is based on what you get for the actual price.

It's okay for basic tasks like doing some occasional work in a web browser. I was even able to activate Linux on it for software development with VS Code, but it is obviously very slow compared to a high-end desktop computer. It got me through a holiday, knowing I was able to do some emergency work if I had to, without spending much. I would definitely not recommend this laptop to anyone who wants to use it regularly since the screen quality is exceptionally bad for today's standards. I had screens like this in the early 2000s.

WARNING. Very disappointed. This is advertised in the search results as a touchscreen laptop. IT IS NOT!!! Bought as a gift and given to the person for birthday so don't really want to pack up again and send back. I bought it because it said it was touchscreen, we tried it and it is not touchscreen. Totally wrong description on the product. Watch out for this. Tiny note in the full description to say the touchscreen is the model 3i not model 3. The description is very misleading. Also not impressed with quality, screen or battery life. Would give less than 1 star.
