Love it
I recieved this in 2 days. I love this product for social media, bill pay, you tube, ect. The screen on my phone is too small for me. This very affordable chrome book’s screen is big and has a full keyboard. Super easy to set up and use. This actually replaced my old chromebook. Very happy.

Great purchase!
Nice Chromebook! I bought it for half the price as an Amazon Renewed item and it arrived in perfect condition and to my surprise it came in the original box (it was open but sealed with tape) so I assume someone bought it and maybe used it for like a couple of hours and said “I don’t like it” or something.Pros: Huuuge screen, you can perfectly watch a movie or videos here and in good quality. The screen is not perfect but for this price it is awesome.- Battery: I’ve been using it for a couple of hours now with the full charge and so far with medium brightness settings it has consumed around 40% and I’ve been watching videos, browsing internet etc. OH btw it only took 1 hour or maybe less to fully charge it.- Numeric keyboard babyyy! Huge screen and great keyboard, keep in mind it’s not backlighted so better look for a place with enough light to use it.- ChromeOS: This OS is packed with more than enough apps and features for a person who simply enjoys scrolling through the internet, read emails, check the weather and of course multimedia. If you’re coming from Windows, don’t give up on it trust me it is an awesome OS and you have embedded options such as Google Workspace and GDrive to carrry around your files not just on the laptop but on your cellphone, regardless of your phone OS (Android – iPhone)—————————-Cons:This processor is a basic option to browse the web and basic stuff, heavy Android apps will probably experience lag, so beware that heavy apps may affect performance on the system. If you’re planning on downloading games or something like that, maybe this is not your option.Screen isn’t the best, some colors can look washed out… Remember you get what you paid for, if you want a better screen then you will probably have to spend a little more.

Great Chromebook!
Was not sure what to get in a Chromebook, so I got the Lenovo hoping it would suffice. Blown away when I got it considering the price – very nice screen, not the fastest thing on Earth but plenty fast for my purpose (email, internet, word processing, and Zoom calls). If you told me this thing cost $1,000 I would believe it, but at the price I paid on the Prime Day sale, it’s a steal.

There’s always trade-offs
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.
