Screen: 11-inch IPS touchscreen, 1,366 x 768 pixels Here is the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook configuration sent to TechRadar for review:ĬPU: 1.1GHz Intel Celeron N4020 (dual-core, 4MB cache, up to 2.8GHz Burst) But when you factor in price, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook is both surprisingly effective and appealing, and one of the best Chromebooks right now. Ultimately, it all comes back to that context. In tablet mode, the touchscreen functionality is fairly slick, with only occasional stuttering from the interface when swiping or scrolling.Īs for battery life, this is one seriously long lasting machine, notching up over 16 hours of video playback. The Lenovo Flex 3 feels pretty responsive, whether it’s streaming video or working in Google Docs. So, outright performance and local storage are not as critical.Īll of which means that the subjective experience is much better than you’d get in the Windows environment with the same hardware. However, the Chrome OS environment is both less demanding and also cloud-centric. Were this a Windows laptop or convertible, that would be enough to have us running for the hills.

All told, it’s a pretty unimpressive technical line up that represents a bottom-rung Intel-powered solution. That’s a dual-core chip derived from Intel’s low-power and low-cost Atom line of processors, rather than the premium high performance Core family.Īlongside the Celeron chip is 4GB of system memory and just 64GB of eMMC-style storage. Processing power comes from an Intel Celeron N4020 CPU. If the sheer quality of the Flex 3 is surprising, its core specifications are less so.
