Product Information

Elevate your Chromebook game with the LENOVO IdeaPad 5i - where power meets portability in a sleek Grey finish! From my earliest days as a technology user, and in particular since I began reviewing products over a decade ago, I have taken joy in experiencing various different versions of the modern computing concept, whether that means different types of hardware, different operating systems, different interaction concepts such as touch screens, and so forth. The light and slim body is made to be carried around and the webcam privacy shutter secures your privacy. While Lenovo’s Window’s-based IdeaPad 5 might be a far better option, the Chrome version of this hardware lacks on every level.

It hasn’t been an isolated experience, as I have seen it on other budget grade ChromeBooks as well – but if an operating system cannot perform well on the hardware that it shipped on, that’s a problem, and one which both Google and manufacturers need to resolve. The lifespan of a Chromebook can vary depending on several factors, including usage patterns, maintenance, and the quality of the device itself. The item may be missing the original packaging or protective wrapping, or may be in the original packaging but not sealed.

Dare I say, this year’s Pentium in an entry-level Chromebook competes well against last year’s mid-range line? For instance, in my testing with a random sample of apps known to be available on Android apps (I tested approximately 150 popular apps), I found that only about 70-75% of those apps were available at all, and of the one that were, many did not work as expected on a desktop environment. Again, this is a super simple test but installing development tools and testing how long it takes to compile code is likely beyond the scope of most Chromebook users. We can support with transferring personal files over, setting up essential features like Antivirus, and making sure everything's running as it should be.

I’m hoping it’s not a hardware issue, considering the first device I was sent from Lenovo had a faulty memory and couldn’t pass a single diagnostic test. All tests were run on the latest Chrome OS 92 Stable Channel, with hyper-threading enabled, and in Guest Mode on a freshly booted machine.And mainly to see the progress Intel has made over the last few silicon iterations, I included my daily driver.
