Lenovo 14" Chromebook 3 - Abyss Blue (Mediatek MT8183/32GB eMMC/4GB RAM/Chrome OS)

I use mine to keep my company on the night shift, does me well.

As the title suggests, this chrome book is an excellent value when on sale. If you are paying full price ($319 USD) I would consider a different chrome book as there are better options in that price range. I bought this on sale for 189. This review is for mode 82KN0001US (the touch screen mode). It runs as smooth as butter for your basic internet browsing and movie/Streaming needs. It comes with the mediatek 8183 processor which is what you would want at this price range. Added bonus is the 64gb eMMC vs 32gb which pretty much all other chrome books at this price range with a touch screen have. Also note it’s a 14” screen vs 11” screens at this price point. Multiple browsing tabs don’t slow this machine down. It’s a matte touch screen so it does well in bright rooms and helps to avoid smudge marks. Even viewing off center (see image) isn’t bad. Sound is great when watching by yourself - would def get drowned out in a classroom like setting with everyone chatting. Touch pad is slightly flimsy and can seem a little inaccurate at times but it’s not a deal breaker. I bought this for my grade school girls to practice their iReady tests / get used to laptops / virtual homework on seesaw / and for other basic computing. If spread sheets are your thing; I would not rec this as the system does slow down. Even using Google docs for excel; just scrolling down the excel sheet got me frustrated due to the “lag.” Picture editing beyond cropping / rotating / red eye auto removal would probably be too much for this. Would I buy this again? Yes for the sale price. Do not buy this if you think it will replace your work desktop or work laptop where you using MS office suite regularly. It’s really a basic machine that does all the basics perfectly.

Yesterday I bought this laptop. I'm very happy with it, it's a wonderful device, my first Chromebook. Unfortunately, the Bluetooth doesn't work, I've tried to connect my speakers, cellphone, ear buds, mouse (all of them are Bluetooth) or detect whatever device near to this one but it doesn't recognizes anything, my list is empty. Obviously, it's activated in Settings. What can I do? Return it?

Very very happy with this Lenovo Chromebook laptop. It is m first non Windows laptop and I could not be more happy with how fast it boots up, turns off, ease of adding/removing apps, simplicity of its Settings, great battery life, FHD display. We don't need a backlit keyboard or incredible speakers, so for well under $200, I'm not sure what laptop can do what this one can. I wish I needed another one, cuz I'd buy again in a heartbeat.

I previously had a Chromebook which decided to breakdown the day before Black Friday, so I was lucky to order this newer version at a great price. The transfer between laptops was easy and I find this new version much faster. I like the fact that the speakers are on either side of the keyboard (so you get real stereo sound !) I like some of the changes that were made to the OS, other than one thing. I prefer Windows Outlook email to Google email. I can'nt seem to get notifications of new emails on Chromebook and I really liked that. With my Gmail account, I have to keep checking to see if there are any new emails. That's a hassle. I'd rather have a little icon to notify me of emails (and not just for emails in the Primary Inbox) The keyboard has a nice touch. All in all though, I do really like this Chromebook and recommend it to anyone !!
