Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook 15.6 FHD Intel Celeron N4500 8GB 64GB Abyss Blue

Chromebook for everyday web tasks

The Lenovo IdeaPad 3i Chromebook runs Chrome OS on a 15.6-inch 1920 x 1080 non-touch display. An Intel Celeron N4500 dual-core processor at 1.10 GHz works with 8GB DDR4 memory and a 64GB SSD. Integrated Intel UHD Graphics drive the 220-nit anti-glare panel. Connectivity includes two USB 3.2 Gen 1 ports, one USB-C 3.2 Gen 1 port with Power Delivery 3.0 and DisplayPort 1.4, HDMI 1.4, a 3.5 mm combo jack and a microSD card reader. A 720p webcam with privacy shutter, a 47Wh battery and a 3.48 lb chassis complete the package.

Buyers needing local storage or Windows apps

This device suits students and home users who work primarily in a browser and store files in the cloud. The 64GB SSD fills quickly with offline media or large applications, so buyers who need more local space should look elsewhere. Chrome OS does not run native Windows or macOS software, making it unsuitable for users tied to those ecosystems. The non-backlit keyboard and lack of fingerprint reader may disappoint anyone who types in low light or wants biometric login.

64GB SSD capacity decides fit

The single specification that determines suitability is the 64GB SSD. If your workflow demands dozens of installed programs, large media libraries or offline project files, this capacity will be a hard limit. Users comfortable streaming content and keeping documents online will find the drive adequate for the operating system and a few essential apps.
