Chromebooks have become one of the most essential smart device choices over the years. Several brands have launched numerous Chromebook options in the market and Lenovo recently launched the Chromebook Flex 3 as well. They have been working on Chromebooks for years and it is neat to finally see their products in the market especially at a time when Chromebooks have a lot of potential in this digital learning era. It is a good fit for both students as well as young professionals. Lenovo has launched this Chromebook at a price point of $310, which might be a little steep compared to other Chromebooks but is still pretty affordable compared to a full-fledged PC or a laptop.

Chromebook Flex 3 is powered by the same MT8183 ARM processor as the Lenovo Duet. The Chromebook Flex 3 features an 11.6″ 250 nit IPS touch display and as the name implies, this device is a convertible. The new Chromebook Flex 3 also features that signature Abyss Blue color that Lenovo likes to put on its devices. This version comes with 64GB of storage which is a plus as we feel that 32GB drives on Chromebooks should be few.

Lenovo has quietly launched the IdeaPad Chromebook Flex 3 and you can buy it now on Lenovo’s website. The only notable difference between the new Flex 3 and the Intel-based model is the chipset and the exterior color.

On the plus side, if this configuration can get you or your kids through the day, you won’t likely need to plug it in until bedtime. The MediaTek MT8183 is a decent little chipset that sips electricity. Inside, there’s a MediaTek MT8183C processor running at up to 2.0 GHz, with Arm Mali-G72 graphics, 4GB of LPDDR4x memory, and either 32GB or 64GB of storage. I gotta say that Mediatek really seems to be doing an incredible job in offering steady and long-term internal support to several Chromebooks recently. Seems like this is also a good processor choice that will add value to the overall experience in a significant manner.

And you do get the versatility of a 360-degree hinge for tent mode or content consumption. Plus you get that sliding privacy shutter for the webcam

With Lenovo Chromebook, you will be able to browse the internet and finish daily computing tasks quickly. The MediaTek MT8173C SoC and 4GB of RAM allow you to work with multiple windows at the same time for improved productivity, and the 32GB of flash storage presents rapid startup times. This Lenovo Chromebook has PowerVR GX6250 integrated GPU for rendering fine-textured visuals on the 11.6-inch display, and the streamlined layout permits increased portability.
