Lenovo - 14e Chromebook - Educational Computer - Laptop for Students - AMD Dual-Core Processor - 14.0" FHD Display - 4GB Memory - 32GB Storage - Chrome OS

I spent way more time shopping for a cheap laptop than I care to admit. Used, refurbs, outlet deals...I looked everywhere for a halfway decent sub-$300 laptop that ticked all my boxes; lightweight, powerful enough to handle basic tasks (web browsing, emailing, office functions), at least somewhat "future proof", and not completely devoid of basic external connection capabilities. Nothing in the Windows OS world really offered everything I needed. I wound up narrowing my choices down to Chromebooks. This little Chromebook is, so far, perfect for me. It's not prohibitively expensive, but it's also no horribly cheaply made. I've owned a couple of cheap Chromebooks, and while they were plenty functional, they felt like toys. The build quality of this Chromebook is top notch. It's super speedy, boots up in an instant (as most Chromebooks do), and has all the basic functionality I need. The two USB ports are a huge plus, as is the availability of a Bluetooth connection. The screen quality is excellent. The display is bright and vibrant. So much so that I had to turn it down to 60%. Sound quality is lacking, but that's not really relevant, as no one's buying a Chromebook because they need exceptional sound quality. I'm not too fond of the trackpad. I can't quite find a mouse speed setting that moves the cursor just the way I like. It's not a big deal, though. It's more of a personal preference issue, and I use my external Bluetooth mouse most of the time. As a whole, this Chromebook is a solid 5 star purchase. For the price, it really doesn't get much better than this.

I use this four days a week for around 2.5 hours a day of streaming Prime Video and mixed web browsing. Battery life is exceptional, probably close to 9 hours streaming Prime continuously. It is small and light enough to be really easy to carry in a backpack or such (I carry mine around the university campus in my backpack almost every day). The screen is surprisingly good. The picture quality is very sharp, and the viewing angles are actually pretty good for a TN panel (I use a VA on my desktop and am spoiled by the ridiculously good viewing angles). It’s not gonna knock your socks off, but it won’t leave you dissatisfied. Overall a 5 star product considering it is only $200

This is the first Chromebook I had, I used window desktop and laptop for 15 years. I don't know how the performance compare to others Chromebook, for me is just enough to open about 7 tabs with 1 youtube video playing, in this situation it is slow to move cursor and click the items on page. If you try to playback the 720p60fps or 1080p YouTube, I don't think the processor is good enough to play it as it is lag it you try to do other command, if you try to adjust the video playback speed, it will lag after a few seconds and the video and audio is not synchronized. If you want to keep the performance just below the limit of this laptop, you can only open 5 tabs on the same time with 1 youtube video 720p or lower quality. The startup time is 2-3 second, but there will be 2 seconds wait for the chrome load up a page. There will be 5-10second of opening a Google sheet. The Google map is not smooth to use on this laptop, lag to zoom in/out. For hardware, it is a 1080p mon, 2x usb-c(only 1 can charging), 2x usb-A, 3.5mm mic/headphone, a micro-sd slot. 32GB storage, 11GB for android, 2.5 for chromeOS, 18.5GB rom only. For me is good enough for light use such as web surface, using Google doc, sheet to do some travel research, the shortcut is also very good, fast to open/close/switch page. But I cannot use it for daily, I only use when I am lazy to turn on the desktop/ not using for a long time/ take it out for discussion. If you are using a middle range hardware(say i5-4430) computer for a long time, I don't think Lenovo 14e Chromebook can reach your standard of a computer, maybe you can try m3 core or even i3 core Chromebook, it should be fast enough for chrome os as it is a light os compare to window 10. Using this laptop spec for window 10 will be much worst than chrome os. For me, if buying a new Chromebook few years later should buy a i3 core CPU to make sure the performance, as I need is speed and fast enough to open 10 or more tabs and playback 1080p with 2x speed with no lag. To conclude, Pro: light use maximum 6-7 tabs in the same time is ok Cheap Premium outlook 1080p 14" mon Can load android apps but slow Con: Slow compare to mid range desktop. Small storage, 18.5GB only No touch screen

Great quality and wonderfully priced

Great buy. Fast shipping

I will never deal with Lenovo again! I bought this product in mid August. I haven't been able to get the machine to boot up at all. First time I turned it on, it wouldn't get past the first screen. I spent hours on the phone with Lenovo tech support. They talked me through a factory reset 3 times. That did not help at all. I had to finally mail it back to Lenovo tech support on October 11. They told me it would be fixed in 7-10 days and they assured me that I would have it back by the 25th. Here we are at the 24th, I called to check progress. So far, I've been disconnected 3 times, transferred back to the switchboard at least 7 times, and given 4 completely different stories about the status of the machine, including them saying they never received it (according to tracking #, they signed for it on the 14th), and them telling me it's waiting for parts and I'll have it sometime in November. At this point, I still haven't been able to use the item that I purchased in August. Dealing with tech support has had me in tears. Save yourself the headaches. DO NOT BUY THIS PRODUCT!!! Edit to add: I purchased a NEW machine. I received a REFURBISHED machine. I'd love to return it to Amazon but I can't get it back from Lenovo tech support.

Why is this machine slower than the one that is five years old??? Should be better in every way than one that is past its AUE. I loved my old machine that starts with a and c and e and r.

Gets the job done

Delivery was quick Product is very good to this point. Everything is as discribed....
