We replaced an old tower computer that we couldn't update any more. Now we can still work or play at the desk or move around the house and still do everything we want as before. Looking forward to the flexibility and freedom of the laptop.

Got this for my son. All his classes are online with Google classroom stuff. I don’t know much about it. We’re kind of an Apple family and he seems to have no problem using this for all his school and personal stuff.

I purchased this computer because I have been using google docs along with the chrome OS on my macbook and like the versatility. I subscribe to Nvidia GeForce Now and find this computer plays all my steam games with the same resolution and speed as the mac, for a third of the price. I also find the flex function very handy when I want to watch videos or read a book.

Bought this laptop for work. It did pretty good. Touch screen was used way more than I thought it would be, ability to connect devices was easy, and overall worth the price. I do wish the screen resolution was better, but within the price range it worked. No issues, always worked smoothly.

Very well built and solid chromebook! Would recommend if you like to scroll social media, watch videos, or anything from a web browser. You can download steam and play basic games but dont have a huge expectation as it works but def a work in progress. Overall 9/10 chromebook would be great for a student!

I recently purchased the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus from Best Buy and have been thoroughly impressed. Here's a concise review:
Design: The laptop sports a sleek, professional look with a two-tone grey finish. It's aesthetically pleasing and feels sturdy.
Performance: Equipped with an Intel i3 processor and 8GB of RAM, it handles everyday tasks smoothly. The performance is reliable for browsing, document editing, and media consumption.
Display: The 14-inch screen offers crisp and clear graphics, enhancing the experience for both work and entertainment.
Keyboard and Trackpad: The backlit keyboard provides a comfortable typing experience, and the responsive trackpad adds to the ease of use.
Versatility: As a 2-in-1 device, it offers flexibility with various modes, including a tablet mode compatible with a stylus.
Best Buy Experience: Purchasing from Best Buy added value with their warranty options, ensuring peace of mind.
Overall, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i Chromebook Plus is an excellent choice for its price, offering a great balance of design, performance, and versatility. I highly recommend it for anyone in the market for a reliable Chromebook.

Loving everything about this Chromebook so far. Great screen that is big enough, that was a concern of mine coming from a 17 in screen on my old one. Actually like the size of this one better. Not as bulky. Having a lit keyboard is awesome too. Haven't used to 2 in 1 features yet. Perfect for my needs at the right price.

This Chromebook is excellent. I bought 2 of these for my kids because the ones they get at school have very dim screens and don’t have touch screens. This one has the Chromebook plus standard and the screens are bright and are very responsive. The hinges feel like they will last a long time and the finish seems like it will survive their backpacks.

This Chromebook Plus has excellent build quality and the keyboard and touchpad are very solid. The RAM is enough to be speedy for multiple tabs or applications. The wifi seems to be a bit weak and the battery is not one that will get you 10+hours, though.

Wanted a Chromebook Plus model for the kids (11th, 9th, and 6th graders) so they could do schoolwork more easily than on their school-provided basic Chromebook. This one seemed to be the best one for the price, but... It's a Christmas present and won't be opened for 2 weeks, so I'll update this review in a few weeks with the thoughts from my kids after they first use it and after they've used it for a while.
