Community Reviews
This Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a basic-use machine that stands out for its surprisingly nice 14 inch WUXGA screen and low price around $189 to $199. It fits schoolwork, light browsing, and cheap everyday use, and the compact Chromebook setup can feel perfectly adequate for simple tasks. The main limitation is the 4GB of RAM, which can bog down with multiple tabs or apps, and the keyboard, speed, and screen brightness are not especially strong. It makes the most sense as a simple Chromebook rather than a do everything laptop.
Common Questions (4)
4GB RAM is enough for light Chromebook use, but it can struggle with many tabs or multiple apps. In practice, it may lag once you load several things, so it's better suited to a few tabs and one task at a time.
Yes. It's described as fine for basic web browsing, schoolwork, and as a cheap beater Chromebook, with a surprisingly nice screen for under $200. It's best kept to light use rather than heavy multitasking.
It's not a strong Linux machine. The 4GB RAM, eMMC storage, and ARM64 CPU make it suitable only for extremely basic Linux tasks, so it should be bought primarily as a Chromebook.
The screen is called surprisingly nice for an under-$200 Chromebook, but the display is also described as dim. The keyboard is reported as not great, so the value is mainly in the low price rather than premium input quality.

Even as a Linux machine, this laptop would be only good for extremely basic tasks. If you're buying this Chromebook, you should be buying it with the intention of ONLY using it as a Chromebook.
