IdeaPad Flex 5i - 2022 - Chromebook 2-in-1 Laptop - Chrome OS - 13.3 Inch FHD Touch Display - 8 GB Memory - 128 GB Memory - Intel Core i3 11th Gen - Abyss Blue

Great condition but one rivet is missing between the laptop body and screen

Within our household, three children are gamers alongside two adult gamers. It's getting a little expensive now tbh lol. Over Thanksgiving break we all landed on Stardew Valley as a video game we enjoy playing together as a family, but our youngest sons' 12 yr old entry-level gaming laptop is dying, even with upgrading ram and a reset on that machine it can't handle most games anymore. So he wasn't able to play with us on his own rig. We took turns, but it just wasn't as fun. Enter the Lenovo Flex 5i. I took the time to enable the Linux Beta, went through the process of getting steam set to 32-bit, and downloaded Stardew Valley. It runs smoothly, with no glitching/lag. I did make the Linux portion of the HD take more of a share than was suggested, 30 Gb vs 10 Gb to accommodate adding more demanding games. It runs Terraria and other similar titles beautifully. But this Chromebook doesn't stop there for us, we've been using it for web surfing, streaming movies, and as an extra device for homework when the school Chromebooks are slow/acting up. It's filling a niche that we truly didn't realize we needed in our home. Overall: If you are looking to play some low-demand (side scrollers, dungeon crawling 32-bit games) steam games via Linux, then this is a great option. If you just need something to watch movies/youtube/surf the web it's more than powerful enough to handle that with ease. This Chromebook is sleek, peppy, and feels expensive even though we got it for under $300. My only minor complaint so far is the matte finish is prone to showing every fingerprint on the outside of the case, but at the same time, it lets us see how often it is being used and reminds us to clean it often. But as a final note, for us, this Chromebook is a stop-gap/multi-purpose item to fill in when we need it. In late winter/early spring, our son will probably get a mini gaming PC since he isn't as big of a gamer as the rest of his siblings but may want to play more robust games. This Chromebook gives us some breathing room over the winter to research & shop for his future rig while allowing us all to play games together as a family.

No regret getting this laptop. Sound is good and also screen is plesent to look. Will definetly get it again

At $300, this is a steal. It's not fancy like a Mac nor small and slim like the Dell XPS. But it's lightweight and a very comfortable keyboard. Yes, it's Chromebook, so there might be limits on what you can do, so know that before going in. If all of your work is pretty much done through a browser then this is a perfect setup. Word of advice, if they still have the 256 GB version, get that instead. Larger hard drive is always appreciated if you prefer to have your files kept on the computer. Only drawback is the keyboard light is always on during bootup. There's no way to default it to off. It's minor, but it does affect battery life a little. However, this issue is with the OS and not the computer. All of my chromebooks with backlit keyboards are the same.

Excellent product
