Customer Ratings & Reviews

While I admit that this is a beast (heavy and large) it's solid, sturdy, extremely performant, and handles everything I've thrown at it. In addition to running standard Chrome OS applications, it runs Android and Linux applications seamlessly, smoothly, and capably. Running applications like LibreOffice shows off its true capabilities.

Good Chromebook Plus experience. Good keyboard. Good upward firing sound (not super-loud but loud enough and clear). Screen is better than average but the color is not as saturated and the brightness is not as significant as on some other machines. Battery life is acceptable (6 hours?), given the snappy power of the processor.

Nice performing Chromebook. I like the display, backlit keyboard, speed, color and camera shutter. The fan is a little noisy.

I have owned a few chromebooks and this one by far the best full touch, lighted keyboard, and much smoother would highly recommend.

The professional reviews weren't wrong - this 14" unit has all of the qualities I was looking for in a 2nd laptop: - fast 13th gen i3 processor - 8 GB RAM - 128GB SSD - bright, pleasing screen - decent keyboard and audio Two knocks because: a. the audio was lacking depth b. the keyboard is decent However, very happy for the value I received when it was on sale for $350. Hence the 5 stars

Seems capable and a decent deal for the $379 price I paid on black friday, modern processor and decent screen, good functionality for common tasks and media consumption. I would not have paid full price, because at that point, I would have simply expanded my budget for something more powerful and bigger.

Very fast, decent battery life, screen is great. Running Linux container without any slowdown.

Nice for the price on sale ! Using for only internet browsing, everything looks well with the 2k screen

I have used many Chromebooks and this one is one of my favorites. Long battery life, decent speakers, and a nice screen.

So far so good. The chromebook is running great, fast speeds, can have multiple apps open without losing speed, easy to navigate. Happy i got it.

Great portable option between a tablet and dedicated laptop. Able to download and run most Android apps, while still being large enough to comfortably take notes with (not included) stylus or update spreadsheets. Beware, MS office product apps don't work on the device, you have to access any Microsoft stuff online through a web browser only.

If you're looking for the perfect balance of speed and portability, this is the laptop for you. It's a great Chromebook for school or even work. The touch screen is a nice added bonus as well

Good for things you normally do with Google, like search and surf, email, messaging. It's responsive and simple. Nice that it runs Play Store apps. Seems to loose power too quickly when in sleep mode. Operating system does not have power options. Chromebooks are not very configurable in general. I don't like the having to learn to use Google's keyboard (no delete key, no function keys F1 - F12, etc.). Would rather the keyboard mimicked the Windows layout. Does not always recognize my Pixel phone and connect with Bluetooth. It is supposed to share my phone's internet connection automatically, but often needs to be rebooted for this to work.

For a Chromebook the things runs super great. The only reason it’s not a 5 star is because it doesn’t run the full version of excel. As an accounting student this is a must and I have to replace it now

We were looking for a decent laptop that my mom could use to do things like pay bills and take some online courses. I own a Lenovo Thinkpad and absolutely loved it, but mom didn't need something with so much power. We chose this Ideapad and she absolutely loves it! It's user friendly, the keyboard feels great and my mom loves the that it's touch screen and it runs so smoothly without any sort of delay. We both highly recommend this laptop!

i like the touch screen, it has a good performance and good battery quality life

Haven't used much as old one will be coming off updates soon. My impression of the time I spent on it, is a pat on the back as there were many new chromebooks available. Love the look, keypad feel, backlit, faster by far from old model and thats with many open pages .The plus model is just that, won't be worrying about updates ending, anytime soon.

One of the premier best Chromebook Plus in the market now. It's quick, great 14 inch screen, and a nice big track pad. Only thing I wish is if it was a little lighter but it's still portable and the best deal of any laptops, Windows or Apple.

This a pretty nice Chromebook. The screen, build quality, and battery life are great. The one dislike I have is the speakers are not very loud.
