I’ve also covered the launches of dozens of groundbreaking technologies, from hyperloop test tracks in the desert to the latest silicon from Apple and Intel. And with Google Assistant, just say “Hey Google,” to manage tasks, enjoy your entertainment, get answers, or control smart home devices. Though what I did not like is the fat bezels around the display and the overall weight of the Chromebook.

If you are after the duration but pay less attention to beauty, you can choose a battery with more cells and higher capacity.I don't see this being a drawback unless you plan to connect an external display, since the Flex 3’s screen isn't really large enough to accommodate that many tabs comfortably in any case. Trademarks: Lenovo, ThinkPad, IdeaPad, ThinkCentre, ThinkStation and the Lenovo logo are trademarks of Lenovo. Some of the main entry points to our range of protective films, tempered glass, privacy screens, and screen films include smartwatches, wristwatches, tablets, fitness trackers, digital cameras, bicycle GPS devices, laptops, car navigation systems, outdoor phones, kitchen appliances, gaming consoles, phones for the elderly, KTM motorcycle navigation, e-book readers, outdoor GPS devices, and many other categories. The Chromebook features a Intel Celeron N4500 processor paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC 5. The keyboard is comfy as while typing; the layout is spacious and there's ample feedback from the keys.

But I feel Lenovo has come up with a solution to lower the burden of middle class parents with its IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook 11IJL6.Scrolling got a bit sluggish when I tried to work on top of a Spotify or YouTube stream, and the transitions between laptop and tablet mode were a bit slower than I would’ve liked. We wish the Flex 3 had a couple of hours more battery life, but it's nevertheless a compelling budget option. All of which means that the subjective experience is much better than you’d get in the Windows environment with the same hardware. That sense of engineering quality extends to the keyboard, which has plenty of keystroke and a really solid base.

Additionally, we are able to produce custom-made screen protection according to your very individual demand.Moreover, it’s dim (maxing out at 250 nits), kicks back a ton of glare even indoors, and is quite low-resolution (1366 x 768). I've appeared on CBS News, in USA Today, and at many other outlets to offer analysis on breaking technology news. Its performance isn't top-notch but delivers a satisfying browsing and productivity experience; the port selection is better than expected; and the battery life is long enough for casual users.

It’s solidly executed and marks a literal and metaphorical turning point around which the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook transitions to its strengths. If a fault develops after 30 days, you will need to get in touch with the manufacturer to open a warranty claim. There's even a microSD card reader, a key feature for Chromebook users who need extra local storage.
