5.0 out of 5 stars Simple, well rounded chromebook.
Reviewed in the United States ???? on November 19, 2022
Capacity: 4GB | 64GBVerified Purchase
I got this computer for work. I needed something cheap and highly portable, and having used a chromebook in school I knew I wanted one. This chromebook is great for the price and needs I needed met. ChromeOS is a pretty smooth and well rounded system, and this particular laptop is sleek, thin, lightweight, and visually pleasing. It does have Linux built in, but I can't comment on that because I'm not the most tech savvy. The good thing about chromebooks is you don't really have to be.

Keep in mind if you want a chromebook, most of the time the apps are meant for a phone or tablet. As far as I know, most games won't work or will be hard to play, and some apps have diminished usage because of how tapping vs. Clicking works. Not that big of a deal to me, but it could be frustrating to someone who wants a regular laptop for casual use.

The touchpad on this particular one is pretty good, and large enough to use given the size of the laptop. The keys are a little thin and small so sometimes I miss them or mistype when going fast. The screen is perfectly acceptable, vibrant and it fills most of the bezel. Overall, 8/10.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Hidden Gem Among the Bargain Chromebooks
Reviewed in the United States ???? on June 26, 2021
Capacity: 4GB | 64GBVerified Purchase
SUMMARY
A surprisingly well-rounded and well equipped budget chromebook that doesn't get the attention it deserves.

LEAD-UP TO THE PURCHASE
Having recently given my Google Pixelbook to a friend who was in desperate need of a computer, I was in the market for another chromebook... just in time for Prime Day June 2021. I didn't need a powerhouse since I have learned firsthand that running Linux on a chromebook sounds better on paper than it does in real life use.

The 2-in-1 form-factor was fun to tinker with but in practical day-to-day use, I found it better to use a dedicated Android tablet (Samsung Galaxy Tab S6) for touch and pen tasks. A traditional clamshell design would be fine for those "laptop-y" things... and an 11" or so screen would allow for a very portable device.

PRIME DAY HUNTING
With those requirements in mind, I went hunting in the Amazon (see what I did there? ;-) ) for a suitable chromebook. I found that most of the deals were for devices that had been released two or more years ago. A few other "deals" weren't any cheaper than the regular prices at other stores (for the same processor/RAM/storage configurations).

I ran across the Lenovo Chromebook 3 (LCB3 for short) and it really intrigued me. Not only was it quite inexpensive, but it had a decent processor (Celeron N4020), decent storage (64GB), and more ports (2-USBC, 2 USBA 3.0, microSD card slot, and headphone/mic jack) than my old Google Pixelbook (2 USBC, headphone/mic jack).

I watched some reviews on Youtube for this device and only one gave it a half-decent review. In spite of the lack of glowing reviews, I purchased it.

UNBOXING AND USE
When the LCB3 arrived and I opened the box, I was impressed with the look and feel of this chromebook. I don't have to qualify this comment with (...for a $170 chromebook). No, it is legitimately a good looking and feeling chromebook, period.

The lid has a tasteful Lenovo branding plate on it and a section of the lid has a fine gray hash pattern stenciled on that gives it an interesting and attractive look.

The screen is a matte screen... yes! I've always been a fan of matte screens (especially on Thinkpads) and although the reviewers complained that it wasn't a bright display, I found it to be just fine in the places I typically use a notebook-type device.

The keyboard isn't the same as that found on Lenovo's other laptops, but it feels stable and quite acceptable for long typing sessions.

The trackpad works well and is consistent.

Battery life is extremely good. I haven't run it all the way down yet, but on multiple occasions, I've run it on battery mostly surfing and typing for 3-4 hours and the projected battery life remaining registered 10+ hours. I don't know how true that is, but I'll try to run it all the way down and update with the results.

Performance is more than adequate. The combination of the Celeron N4020 and the lower screen resolution results in a very smooth and responsive experience.

TAKE THE EXPERT REVIEWERS' OPINIONS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT
Because expert reviewers have access to a wide variety of devices, (many of them high-end), they can have their perspectives skewed a bit. It's nothing personal against them, it's how we're all wired. That seems to be evident in their review and coverage of the LCB3.

Lenovo has been "killing it" (in a good way) lately in the chromebook space. Their Chromebook Duet gets most of the attention, but this LCB3 is the hidden gem in their recently released chromebooks.

I've owned the older Lenovo ThinkPad chromebooks in the past, but the LCB3 feels more like a ThinkPad than those officially branded ThinkPad chromebooks were. I'm baffled as to why expert reviewers haven't given this device more attention.

I was initially concerned about how well the few Android apps I rely on would work on a non-touchscreen chromebook, but so far, they work as expected.

I'm delighted with the LCB3 and it will fit nicely with how I use my chromebooks. I hope this is helpful to those who are considering purchasing the Chromebook 3.

This is a very basic Chromebook and it can do everything what I expected. 64GB storage is great compared to other same price range Chromebooks. Display is just acceptable if I think of the price. Battery lasts extremely long. USB-C power port is universal and convenient. The power adapter of this device can be used for mobile or other USB-C power sourced devices. USB-C port on this Chromebook can connect to an external display such as Samsung C34H890 so that single USB-C cable can convey power and display signal.

I am one who will buy a product based on reviews and all of the reviews here were giving this chrome book such high praise, I figured it’d be worth a shot.
What did I need? Something slim, lightweight, easy to transport, something with speed and CHEAP.
I was in desperate need of a new laptop b/c mine is a dinosaur, very clunky and sloooow. Being in school is what really got me looking and trying to save up for a MacBook was never going to happen on my student budget. This little Lenovo chrome book is quick, sleek, and slim. And most of all, only $100. No touch screen but the battery life is incredible. I use it a few hours every day and only have to recharge it every 3-4 days. I use this chrome book for Google docs, internet surfing/research and e-mail. With that being said, I’m not using much storage so I can’t speak to that.
GREAT buy as it was everything I needed for an unbeatable price.

Day one, and the Ideapad 3 started right up. I'm going to let it charge for a while before I complete the setup. One star deducted for no English setup instructions in the box.

Day 3. Just discovered it isn't a touch screen. No biggie, I hate touch screens anyway. I'm using a small wireless mouse, and it works fine. I'm not sure how much internal memory this unit has, but I just stuck a 64 gb sd card in it so that'll be fine.

I bought this for a specific meeting - to see if I could drive a presentation on a large screen tv without having to bring a full featured laptop or tablet and to see if I'd like a Chromebook better than a tablet. Today, I hooked this little Lenovo Chromebook up to a big screen via the usb c port and it works fine. Had to buy the special cable with the HDMI on the other end but it was inexpensive and it came the next day from Amazon. What I really like about this little gem (if it continues to work...) is that it has regular usb ports as well - 2 of them! My Lenovo M10 tablet has none and thus there's no way to input or output data via cable. This is proving to be an interesting experiment.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good for Practical Use
Reviewed in the United States ???? on October 2, 2022
Capacity: 4GB | 64GBVerified Purchase
This Chromebook is dirt cheap and would be great for a student on a budget or someone who just needs to use a few apps and browse the internet. I use it as a writing laptop, as I don't want to take my expensive, bulky gaming laptop all over the place.

Despite being plastic, it does seem to be solid. The matte finish is a fingerprint magnet, though it's not a big deal. The battery life is good, and as far as Chromebook keyboards go, it's fine to type on and better than some I have encountered in the past.

It's fast enough, though it's not zippy and will struggle with heavy apps or opening too many at once. The screen is also not exactly beautiful and looks very dated. Still, do you really need a nice screen on a $100 Chromebook? You also need to be aware that Chromebooks basically have an update expiration date, so before you think you're getting a sweet deal on one, be sure to look up when it will stop receiving updates. I believe this one is good until 2026 or 2027, which is enough time to get enough bang for your buck.

If you're aware of this Chromebook's limitations, this may be a nice buy. It suits my needs, and honestly I can't stomach the idea of paying much for a Chromebook in the first place. I won't feel sick if it gets lost or stolen while I lug it around, but it does what I need it to do well enough.

4.0 out of 5 stars Satisfied with the one I got
Reviewed in the United States ???? on September 14, 2022
Capacity: 4GB | 64GBVerified Purchase
This is my first Chromebook, and I've been using it for two days. The battery life is amazing so far; it does appear to be 10 hours. Reading the reviews, it seems like a wide range of experiences, and I feel fortunate that mine works well so far.

It was very easy to set up. I saw 11.5 in the description, but the actual display screen is 10 inches. It isn't a touch screen, and the keys are dark gray, not black. This was an impulse purchase after getting a new laptop a few days ago. My 6 year old Dell would work no longer, and I got an expensive gaming laptop. It was my second one, but I was not expecting it to get so hot, with a noisy fan. The battery life is about an hour. To feel more comfortable, I wanted a Chromebook for email, YouTube, and Amazon videos. So, this is doing what I want it to.
I will likely get more used to having no delete key, instead the alt+backspace key is used for that function. I was surprised when my bookmark bar appeared with bookmarks from 2013 on. I've deleted many of them in the bookmark manager.
My main dissatisfaction is the disappearing vertical scroll bar. In some emails, you can select "view in
browser". I would be more frustrated if I didn't have the laptop available. There might be a fix for that; I haven't researched yet.
I purchased mine when it was 52% off, which is worth it. Buying electronics is risky. I've been very disappointed in the past, which is why I'm relieved and accepting of the machine I got.
Almost everything has become more expensive, and reasonable expectations seem to be in order. With two days use, I'm not regretting my purchase.

Inexpensive little computer I needed as a Registration workstation for events. We use it once a month. At exactly 1 year, it stopped working. The screen went black and the keyboard felt very hot. I unplugged it, let it is sit for a few weeks until I could get the time to call Lenovo. I tried to turn it on, just to see, and it did start up. But Lenovo says it will probably happen again, and if I give them $39 they will extend the warranty for another year (or $60 for 2) and then send me a box to return the computer to be repaired. I don't think I want to waste any money on it. It's a cheap little computer, I think it should have lasted more than a year, though. I am having issues with my other Lenovo laptop, the screen just blacks out. I understand it may be the touch screen. But I think I will stay away from Lenovo products in the future.

I will not be returning because I only needed for personal use, but if you're a student or need it for work I would definitely look for something else, especially if you are going to be watching videos or movies!

In theory, this $149.00 Chrome based laptop should have done the trick for me. I bought it for traveling to watch downloaded content on the flight and do some work in my destination. It is a great price and not a huge loss should it get stolen. All good, until I turned it on and could barely see the screen. It is advertised as HD, but it reminded me of my Intel 8088 from about 30 years ago. Bottom line, it is fast and boots quickly but the screen graphics were so bad I returned it. This might be a great little computer if you need one for a young child and you don?t care if they drop it or leave it on the bus.

I got this chromebook only a couple of month ago and the battery stopped charging. The power light would only show the yellow light.

Youtube video showed people taking the lenovo chromebooks apart and disconnecting the ribon cables next to the usb ports the reconnecting them to get the battery changing to work again. i gave that a try and it worked.

the red powering light shows up now and crosh terminal : "battery_test 8" show that battery is ( charging or full) 100%. so does chrome://power

Some people on youtube claim its a static electric problem that chromebooks have. To bad they dont come with simple to remove and replace batteries like old laptops use to have.

+ I got the chromebook apart.
+ ribon unplugged and replugged then back together.
+ everything works now. but if i have to do that every couple of month im going back to my old 2011 acer laptop that has linux on it.

So just a warning for people that dont like to have to take things apart to fix them. dont get this lenovo chromebook.

do a youtube search for "chrome book battery is not charging" and you see that its a common problem.
Some people blame the ChromeOS and fix the problem by doing a hard reset that wipes all the data and make you start over from scratch. That was not a option i felt like doing.

My lenovo idea pad 3 11 chromebook 11.6" laptop. it is the one with the intel celerin N4020 chip. i got the intel one for the linux support.

at the time if purchase in june-2021 $169. -$208 after tax.
Well i thought it would last longer without running into problems.

no touchscreen on mine. i don't know if the touchscreen and ARM based ones are build better. they cost $30 or $40 dollars more. I have never had this kind of battery trouble with android tablets. maybe its just a chromebook laptop thing.

Becuase i was able to get the battery working again i will give this laptop a 1½ star or TWO star review.

If it worked right without battery trouble i would have given it a solid FOUR out of FIVE stars. I like the running firefox from the linux virtual maching. i also use the linux side of the chromebook for podcast. andriod support is just a little meh, but i use the netflixs android app to download show for later and it work good enough.

+ chromeOS drive and google work well.
+ android works okay.
+ linux debian buster works okay
- its the batter that ruined things.
- laptops are suppose to be portable not stuck being used like a desktop always plugged into power.

The worst purchase I ever made on amazon.
A customer support supervisor, told me theres nothign they can do and HUNG UP on me
on aug. 23rd at 10 am. absolutely abhorent the treatment i got from amazon.
Never again will i purchase electronics from amazon.
The first day I received this laptop the bottom plastic grip came off.
The laptop system started giving me problmes, no wifi.
All you will ever hear from tech support is “powerwash” That's all you can do to fix a chromebook.
2.5 months later after several power washers. The laptop broke down completley.
Amazon told me that because it was past the 30 days i could not return it and that i had to deal with lenovo.
Lenovo was a nightmare, you will call a call center overseas.
They told me I had to send it for repairs if a powerwash did not fix the issue.
I had to pay to ship it myself to the repair center.
It took 1.5 weeks to repair it and they never told me nor wrote in the repair order what was fixed on the laptop. I still do not know to this day what was repaired.
Lenovo sent it to the wrong address, 1 hour away from me. That in itself was another nightmare.
I had to go to the wrong address and luckily was able to retrieve it.
The issue was repaired but they left the screen loose now it opens loosely to the left and I know this will be an issue later.
Lenovo did not glue the non-slip grip on the back and mailed it to me with it off.
The screen now flickers and they are glitches.
I was told by lenovo to buy more warranty.
Why would I pay $80 dollars for extended warranty when I paid $200 dollars for a new laptop.
The laptop should "work" period.
In all the drama and stress of dealing with this issue and mailing it my backpack was stolen.
That in itself was a grief I did not need.
Bottom line it's a lemon, but I'm old and simply don't want to deal with amazon or lenovo anymore.
My fault lessons learned the only reason i had to buy another laptop was because the samsung was going to expire. That's something I did not know about chromebook they expire after 5 years.
In conclusion, I regret buying a lenovo chromebook.

Update: the chromebook Broke down again. That's twice in less than 3.5 months. The same issue No Wi-Fi, glitches in the system, the screen flickers, screen goes white then shutsdown. Sent it in and again I had to pay the shipping and packaging. I have made up my mind that when I get it back,I am simply getting rid of it and buying a chromebook from best buy.
Stay away from Lenovo chromebook!

1.0 out of 5 stars Worst computer buy ever
Reviewed in the United States ???? on March 31, 2022
Capacity: 4GB | 64GBVerified Purchase
This is the absolute worst computer buy I've ever made! The screen has a matte finish on it, making it very difficult to see in any kind of light. The screen is also not bright- the colors are so muted (especially all the grey tone writing) that it's extremely hard to read. The screen is way too small for me. It's NOT a touch screen, which is a miserable step back in tech. There is no scroll strip adjacent to the finger pad and scrolling with the finger pad and arrow is difficult. Every the you want to scroll, you have to depress the finger pad (which is too hard to hold down, killing your finger joint within just 10 minutes), find the scroll bar on the right of the screen with the cursor, and 90% of the time the cursor won't stay on the scroll bar, as the page edge is right next to it. Instead of scrolling, you end up shrinking the page size instead. The finger pad requires too much pressure to keep down while trying to scroll and the ratio of movement, from finger movement to cursor movement, is too low. IE- you have to make at least 4 full finger pad width swipes to cross the screen one time with the cursor. Terrible setup!! Save your money and get a real laptop or you'll be wildly frustrated, as I am. If I could return it and be sure my info was wiped off it, I'd send it back in a heartbeat. Terrible product!

1.0 out of 5 stars Machine plagued with problems

The machine was easy to set up, but had black streaks of pixels on the screen at all times. I tried to correct the problem by research and found no fixes. I contacted Lenovo Service and they accepted for repair. In due course, the repairs were made and the machine returned.
I have had it back for about two weeks and now it won’t power up. The repair has been accepted, but I am not getting use of the machine again.
Unfortunately, I am twelve days past my return date.

1.0 out of 5 stars DO NOT BUY!!

I bought this about 5 or 6 months ago and it already stopped working! Won't even turn on. Used it about 10 times for simple emailing, video calls and searches. Took it to the geek squad and they said "it's not looking good" sorry can't help you. Don't be fooled by the cheap price, this IdeaPad is garbage.

I bought two of these in July and it’s now October and one just completely Dirac and won’t turn back on. I JUST fully charged it and JUST had a zoom meeting on it five minutes prior to it crashing. Now the screen won’t come back on no matter what I do. What a waste of money!! I will never buy one of these again!

This lasted maybe one whole week. It was used lightly for homework. After a week, it will not charge or power on. I’m extremely disappointed.

1.0 out of 5 stars Stopped charging after about 2.5 months

This device is useless after just under 3 months. It worked just fine through the return window of 1 month. After a little more than 2 months my son said it wasn’t charging. He used it sporadically until then, and now cannot use it at all. We’ve tried multiple outlets where other devices charge just fine. What a waste of money!! Maybe we received a dud, but I wouldn’t recommend buying this unless you want to take the risk of getting an expensive useless device as well.

1.0 out of 5 stars Letter keys fall off

This is a cheaply made product. After less than 1 month of use the letter keys started falling off. Thank GOD I still had my Samsung. Paying for security on that one because it ran out. Now I have to use my insurance to get my money back. AND I lost money paying for insurance. But glad I did or I would be out of all money. Seriously? What happened to 1 year warrenty?

1.0 out of 5 stars Less than 6 months old and battery is dead

I’ve had this piece of junk for less than 6 months and the battery won’t hold a charge. I charge it to 100% and then turn it off. When I turn it on the next day, the battery is down to less than 50%. I wish I could give this zero stars. I bought this from the Treasure Truck and I paid more for it 5 months ago than it costs now. Do yourself a favor and steer clear of Lenovo and their junk.
