If you’re looking for a laptop this Black Friday, Amazon is offering a deal on a Lenovo Chromebook.
Regularly priced a $430, the Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 5i 2-in-1 Chromebook Laptop Computer is currently priced at $270, a savings of $160.
The Chromebook is unique, as it is both a laptop and tablet. With a 13″ FHD touchscreen, you can use the Lenovo Chromebook in whichever way works best to browse online, listen to music, stream movies or video chat.
The Chromebook has 8 GB memory and is easy to use, as you simply log in to your Google account and you’ll have instant access to your email, documents, calendar and more.
With around 180 reviews, the Chromebook has a total rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars. Customers say it has good battery life, is great for streaming, the touchscreen works well and it converts from laptop to tablet with ease.
One customer who gave it a full 5 stars says it “does everything I need at a great price”.
“I have always been in the Android environment using my phone and Samsung tablet. This is the first Chromebook that I’ve ever used. It was extremely easy to set up and use,” Amazon customer James Raab wrote. “It will run my Android applications and provide me access to my Google Drive at amazing speed. I am very pleased with my purchase and would buy another if necessary. I believe they recently released a new version that has a faster processor and brighter screen.”
