I've been in IT for 30+ years and have have been a Windows guy since v3.1. My phone has always been Android-based, but this is my first Chromebook. So far, I'm very impressed -- especially for the price!
Likes:
+ Solid build, durable.
+ At 3 pounds, 3 oz, it's much lighter than my other laptop -- by 5 pounds.
+ Touchscreen isn't a gimmick. Comes in very handy.
+ Great max brightness indoors (have not tested outside yet).
+ Physical shutter cover for webcam.
+ Perfect for travel.
+ Long battery life.
+ Trackpoint (the litle red nub on the keyboard) is great if/when you are wearing gloves.
+ ThinkPad's legendary keyboard.
+ The price.
Dislikes:
- Can't use the fingerprint reader when first powering up from a shut down state, but this is a Chrome OS thing, not a Lenovo thing
- Can't easily put anything like widgets or icons on the desktop without a 3rd party app. All I have up is wallpaper. Another Chrome OS thing.
- There is no right-click mouse button on the bottom right corner of the touchpad like on my Lenovo Legion 5 Pro. You have to use the physical trackpad's button. The entire touchpad is left-click only.
- The three physical buttons at the top of the trackpad feel a bit mushy and loose.
- DId not come with "world facing camera" for some reason.
- The built-in speakers are god awful, but that's to be expected on something this size. Stick with hard-wired or Bluetooth headphones/speakers.
- Tablet mode is cool and all, but holding a 3 1/4 pound tablet is heavy and awkward, expecially since you are holding it with your fingertips firmly mashing into the keyboard.
What I learned from this thread:
1. You can adjust the backlit keyboard brightness/off using ALT + brightness control keys.
2. Includes an Intel AX200 wi-fi card insted of Realtek!!! So delighted to confirm this as I normally rip out all Realtek cards and replace them with Intel.
What I learned on my own:
1. You can set up multiple "Desks [google.com]". Not sure if I will use this though.
2. If on a plane, do not use "stand" or "tent" modes on the tray table since it will slide right off. Stick with the regular "notebook" mode to utilize the rubber feet.
3. I guess Chrome OS creates it's own gateway and sets up a virtual NIC? Because the IP for my wi-fi card ("Google Zork"???) is showing as 100.115.92.XX and that doesn't coincide with my wi-fi network which uses 192.168.2.XX subnet.
4. Cannot adjust the time to sleep/screensaver.
5. These cases [amazon.com] are a perfect fit!
6. If you are configuring two of these things, do not put one on top of the other. Apparently there are magnets inside to act as sensors so the Chromebook knows if it is in notebook mode or tablet mode. If you close one Chromebook completely and set another one on top to configure, the physical keyboard and touchpad will no longer function on the one you are working on, and you will only be able to use the on-screen keyboard. It took me far too long to realize this!
Tips and things I did so far:
0. Updated to the latest version of Chrome OS (Settings > About ChromeOS > Check for Updates). I am now on 104.0.5112.110.
1. "Uninstalled" the web-wrapped versions of GMail, Calendar, Maps, News, Photos, and YouTube. Then installed the Play Store (Android) versions for offline use.
2. Installed Solid Explorer from the Play Store.
3. Increased font size dramatically so I could read it without my reading glasses (Settings > Device > Displays > Display Size). I am using the second largest option.
4. Enlarged the mouse cursor (Settings > Accessibility > Manage Accessibility Features > Mouse and Keyboard > enable Show large mouse cursor then adjust the slider). I am using about 30% in from the left.
5. (Optional/personal pref) Enabled tap dragging and Reverse Scrolling (Settings > Device > Mouse and touchpad > Touchpad).
6. Uninstalled all apps that I would never use.
7. Read the User Guide! It's sparse, but still recommended. You can download it here https://download.lenovo
It's a $150 Lenovo ThinkPad Chromebook with support through 2029, 1080p display, and pen... and it's $150... you really can't stomach the idea of popping a micro SD card in?
