Lenovo's latest IdeaPad Flex 5i laptop is the best Chromebook for most people

- Lenovo’s IdeaPad Flex 5i is one of the first round of Chromebook Plus laptops, a new designation Google gives devices that meet minimum spec requirements. That doesn’t mean they’re overly expensive, though - Lenovo’s Chromebook Plus costs $500. For that cash, you’ll get a well-built Chromebook with a great screen and enough power for most people.

I've owned a number of Chromebooks including a high-end model. It's worth it. It does everything I need it to do and more. I don't have the patience for Windows or Mac OS and all their long updates. I get six hours of battery life from my Dell Inspiron Chromebook and that's fine for me as I work from home. Even if I'm on the go, it will still work as long as I need it to. But I bring my charger cable just in case.
With a M powered MacBook you get up to 15 hours of runtime.
I know. I've owned a lot of Macs since 1984. Just not into them. I spend most of my work time on Word and Google docs as I'm a professional writer. Windows and Chrome OS are good enough. Chrome is the most trouble free from my experience. @@aligee7231
with a modern windows laptop you can get 8 hours or more.
Well done. Thank you.
I always Use 2in1 Laptop!!! Tablet Mode is My Favorite One & Lenovo Flex Version is My Choice beside Asus Flip!!! 👍🏻😍👍🏻
which one is better ASUS Vibe CX55 Flip 15.6" vs Lenovo’s IdeaPad Flex 5i?
Chromebooks should run on arm processors. Lightweight, long lasting alternative to cheap windows machine.
Mine is supposed to arrive next Tuesday
Bought one at Best Buy. Good looking, solid feel. Sort of a soft-touch keyboard that is pleasing. Perfect for surfing web while wife is watching a movie I'm not crazy about LOL. Will use when traveling so I can leave my MacBook behind. Nice price and performance. I've had lower performing 4gb Chromebooks before that stalled out with too many tabs.
I have on aswell, and I am kind of disappointed by the batterylife. Right now its fully charged, and says around 3-5 hours left. That is worse than my old Chromebook that has like 68% battery health.
Thank You.
can I attach an external drive and CD to a Chromebook?
Just got this Chromebook. Often times I open the lid and it is stuck in tablet mode with the touchpad and keyboard unresponsive. I have to restart it holding down the 'refresh' key so that the hardware will reboot. Did you experience this at all?
Can I use vi / vim on Chromebook? If so how? Thanks!
Yes! Go to ChromeOS settings, Linux section, turn on Linux. You'll get a Linux container.
When laying it flat, that hinge makes me cringe. I have a hard time believing that will hold up after doing that regularly.
Buy and install a good Linux distro after and we are good
The price has come down so check around for current price.
is the lenovo writing on the chromebook removable ?
Not without leaving an empty space where the "lenovo" was.
It's 379 right now at Best Buy.
379 cents?

@@pixelbatAw, did I hit a nerve? Get over it.
100 bucks more and you can get a laptop with more features. Crazy

Love it's ❤️
for 500$ you can get the proper Windows version of this.
in previous years they used to put girls generation in the screens
Google seems confused 😂😂
You must be truly unaware if you don't know how many Chromebooks are out there being used.
Fan = not interested.
chuwi book which is on WINDOWS is far better deal
because its the same software you have been using and great for TRAVEL.
Its about the same price.
