Great cheap Chromebook if you have realistic expectations

This is exactly the case if if you have realistic expectations you will be pretty happy with the product. Chromebooks serve a pretty specific purpose and come at a pretty low price point. They're basically just very budget laptops with such low specs that they only work well on a web browser-based operating system. Most of them have low resolution screens of varying quality. If you want something with Full HD 1920 x 1080 resolution, this Lenovo is one of the few options. And for the price, this is a great notebook. Yes, the display has a fairly narrow viewing angle. But you shouldn't expect a premium Retina display or MS Surface at this price point. It gets the job done, it's bright and sharp (at the right angle) and has better resolution than anything else at this price point. Wifi is a bit weak but then again it does the job. Everything else about it is pretty solid. The battery life is excellent. The keys have the right travel and resistance to make typing very comfortable. The touchpad works as it should. It has enough weight to feel like a real laptop without feeling heavy. So, once again, be realistic in your expectations. Compared to the $1,300 Surface, this Lenovo falls short. But compared to everything else on the market for under $350, this is a great buy. At the current Revain Warehouse price of $200, this is a bargain. I bought a refurbished/stock version. Came in original box with all packaging. I couldn't even tell it was ever opened. Not a scratch, not a dent, not a stain on it.

Pros
  • great product
Cons
  • something different
