Why no love for this model? It is touchscreen Lenovo Flex 3 Chromebook 11 inch, is it because it isn't Intel processor? The reviews look good.
The other more popular one is NON-touch screen and is INTEL processor for 79 dollars and is getting more love. Why?
20 dollars more for touch screen and 2028 End of Service date.
The 79 dollar non-touch has 2027 End of Service date.
Let's have a discussion about this.

Just from my own personal experience (of having 5 ChromeOS devices), the Intel processor (esp. a Core iSeries) makes a lot of difference. But I don't know what the data say... and I would like to.
From other peoples' anecdotal experiences, the difference between eMMC storage vs. true SSD also makes a lot of difference. But I don't know what the data say... and I would like to.
Do you have a link to this more popular $79 Chromebook deal? Curious as to what type of Intel processor it has, as well as what type of storage drive it has.
(and the RAM as well)
My one piece of anecdotal evidence seemingly/somewhat counter to the above is my Lenovo 10e ChromeOS tablet... which has a MediaTek processor and is quite snappy.
However... I also don't push it as hard as I push my Spin 713, so there's also that.

I think it was the combination of the Lenovo touchscreen model has 1 extra year of support (2028), plus was IPS screen that helped make up my mind to go touchscreen.
I also just got the ASUS 17 inch chromebook with intel 4500 chipset for 79 dollars last week from Best Buy, that gets over 25,000 Octane score.
I should get it tomorrow with one day delivery. Hope it is good experience because it would be my first touchscreen chromebook. I believe the MT8183 is better for Android type stuff and touch screen apps should work better than non-touch screen . Time will tell.
Do you have touchscreen chromebooks, and how do you feel about them.

anyway, touchscreen feature was really nice and very helpful, completely contrary to my original expectations. like being able pinch/zoom and tap on things instead of having to use the trackpad was nice.
I am buying this Lenovo 11 inch touchscreen model because I never had a touchscreen chromebook before, and it is also IPS screen ... so hopefully it will make a good companion to my 17 inch monster. It is the lenovo touchscreen I'm getting tomorrow, the 17 inch ASUS is old news, I got it 3-4 days ago.
