What Buyers Say
Lenovo IdeaPad 15.6" N4500 2024, Celeron N4500, 4GB, 64GB eMMC, Arctic Grey
78 out of 100 low confidence 9 reviews
The Chromebook is mostly praised as a great value for everyday use like homework, movies, and web browsing, with good battery life and a new condition even for refurbished models. However, one user warns it is not a full laptop but more like an Android phone, citing freezing, poor multitasking, and slow performance with only 4GB RAM. Overall, it works well for light tasks but may frustrate those needing more power.

- Easy to use
- Suitable for everyday tasks
- Arrives in near-new condition
Cons
- Not a full laptop, like an Android phone
- Freezes and crashes often
