Pros & Cons
Pros
Lenovo 5i chromebook is extremely fast, decent battery life and great touch screen capabilities. Seamless transfer to add content from my google account, including drive, to the new computer. The real benefit comes with google's update schedule for ch... Read More
Top notch processing for my wife’s job as a remote speech pathologist. It's probably a tad heavier than i would like but totally manageable.
Gb of ram makes for smooth operation and i purchased a 256gb mini sd card to complement the 64gb onboard storage. It has 8 gb versus 4 like most chromebooks.
The keyboard is pretty decent. Light up keyboard is nice. Only complaint is that the cursor arrow is difficult to spot.
Cons
Major hassle. This is a pretty slimy tactic.
The 64gb unit can only drive an external 1920 x 1080 display at 30hz interlaced, resulting in obvious motion blur while scrolling on websites. The advertised specs are for an i3-1115g4 cpu and 8gb of ram. There is nothing on the box that is sent that ... Read More
Sometimes it is just a stutter, where i ctrl-n, and instead of opening a new window, it sits there for 1-2 seconds. This machine pauses more than any other computer or chromebook i've ever owned.
Highlights
Quality

Great video/audio quality, easy keyboard and convenient touch screen.

Battery lasted a week without a worry.
Price
Would recommend, especially at this price point.
I'm super pleased with the performance for the price!
We got our from the amazon seller onlinemart for $300.
That said, even if you pay more, it is totally worth it.
Shipping
Arrived earlier than expected and in perfect condition.
Got the chromebook and it was surprisingly fast and just works.
Though delivery took a long time and bad delivery experience the product is good.
Competitiveness
Having an actual intel processor is definitely better than having a phone processor like a lot of other chromebooks have, espec... Read More
And the i3 chips are worth the price compared to the crappy processers on the 200-300 priced chrome books.
So i bought this chromebook because a) wirecutter recommended it b) it had the same processor as "papa's" windows 11 laptop.
As this is the same brand that the student’s school is using, that makes it familiar when doing homework .
