SUMMARY A surprisingly well-rounded and well equipped budget chromebook that doesn't get the attention it deserves. LEAD-UP TO THE PURCHASE Having recently given my Google Pixelbook to a friend who was in desperate need of a computer, I was in the market for another chromebook... just in time for Prime Day June 2021. I didn't need a powerhouse since I have learned firsthand that running Linux on a chromebook sounds better on paper than it does in real life use. The 2-in-1 form-factor was fun to tinker with but in practical day-to-day use, I found it better to use a dedicated Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6) for touch and pen tasks. A traditional clamshell design would be fine for those "laptop-y" things... and an 11" or so screen would allow for a very portable device. PRIME DAY HUNTING With those requirements in mind, I went hunting in the Amazon (see what I did there? ;-) ) for a suitable chromebook. I found that most of the deals were for devices that had been released two or more years ago. A few other "deals" weren't any cheaper than the regular prices at other stores (for the same processor/RAM/storage configurations). I ran across the Lenovo Chromebook 3 (LCB3 for short) and it really intrigued me. Not only was it quite inexpensive, but it had a decent processor (Celeron N4020), decent storage (64GB), and more ports (2-USBC, 2 USBA 3.0, microSD card slot, and headphone/mic jack) than my old Google Pixelbook (2 USBC, headphone/mic jack). I watched some reviews on Youtube for this device and only one gave it a half-decent review. In spite of the lack of glowing reviews, I purchased it. UNBOXING AND USE When the LCB3 arrived and I opened the box, I was impressed with the look and feel of this chromebook. I don't have to qualify this comment with (...for a $170 chromebook). No, it is legitimately a good looking and feeling chromebook, period. The lid has a tasteful Lenovo branding plate on it and a section of the lid has a fine gray hash pattern stenciled on that gives it an interesting and attractive look. The screen is a matte screen... yes! I've always been a fan of matte screens (especially on Thinkpads) and although the reviewers complained that it wasn't a bright display, I found it to be just fine in the places I typically use a notebook-type device. The keyboard isn't the same as that found on Lenovo's other laptops, but it feels stable and quite acceptable for long typing sessions. The trackpad works well and is consistent. Battery life is extremely good. I haven't run it all the way down yet, but on multiple occasions, I've run it on battery mostly surfing and typing for 3-4 hours and the projected battery life remaining registered 10+ hours. I don't know how true that is, but I'll try to run it all the way down and update with the results. Performance is more than adequate. The combination of the Celeron N4020 and the lower screen resolution results in a very smooth and responsive experience. TAKE THE EXPERT REVIEWERS' OPINIONS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT Because expert reviewers have access to a wide variety of devices, (many of them high-end), they can have their perspectives skewed a bit. It's nothing personal against them, it's how we're all wired. That seems to be evident in their review and coverage of the LCB3. Lenovo has been "killing it" (in a good way) lately in the chromebook space. Their Chromebook Duet gets most of the attention, but this LCB3 is the hidden gem in their recently released chromebooks. I've owned the older Lenovo ThinkPad chromebooks in the past, but the LCB3 feels more like a ThinkPad than those officially branded ThinkPad chromebooks were. I'm baffled as to why expert reviewers haven't given this device more attention. I was initially concerned about how well the few Android apps I rely on would work on a non-touchscreen chromebook, but so far, they work as expected. I'm delighted with the LCB3 and it will fit nicely with how I use my chromebooks. I hope this is helpful to those who are considering purchasing the Chromebook 3.

Set up took only a few minutes and the laptop is all ready for simple everyday tasks including surfing, watching videos and typing documents. Reasonably fast and surprisingly loud speakers. Long-lasting battery. Has 2 USB-A and 2 USB-C ports. Great laptop!

Buenísima. Si ocupas lo que un usuario comunycorrienteusa de una PC está Chromebook te lo da. Para las funciones básicas de un oc funciona de maravilla pesa poco, no se calienta no hace ruido y sirve pa lo básico. Si ocupas programas específicos de PC pues entonces obvio si no es para ti

Once received the order I felt very upset due to the fact that there is a picture showing detachable keyboard option, and I was looking for this specific option because I figured out that this will b very practical for my 10-years old child, but unfortunately it wasn't there. I was under this impression based on the published picture showing a space between the screen and the keyboard !

Item from Amazon AU but sent from USA and had USA power point plug had to buy a converter. If Amazon is selling on an AU site they might sell it with the AU plug lucky we live near city so no long trip to get .. no mention in sales information could cause a long delay for remote buyers so be aware extra cost. Item works as expected once able to charge!!!!!
