Up for review today is its IdeaPad 3 Chromebook. Lenovo is a brand that has been producing a whole array of Chromebooks over the years.

We now have products that run the entire gamut. This is not to suggest that Chromebooks are in a completely different space. Indeed, you can get sexy and powerful Chromebooks. Over time we’ve seen Chromebooks evolve from budget-priced devices to more expensive models that feature robust hardware and interesting designs. In the end, however, none of that mattered all that much. Corners were cut, ports and optical drives were removed, and it was pretty obvious as to the differences. We quickly learned that those products weren’t designed to compete with standard laptops. How could they cost $200-$300 when we’re conditioned to spending $1,000 for a similar experience? When Chromebooks burst onto the scene one of the first things people noticed about them was that they were considerably cheaper than traditional laptops. It’s for those very reasons that Google began dabbling in Chromebooks nearly a decade ago. Rarely do we need to plug into a printer, insert a disc, or sit down to the same desk.
