And each of those clicks into place as solidly as could be expected. An Audio combo jack and MicroSD card reader are part of the build too. In terms of ports and plugs, Lenovo includes two USB 3.1 Type-A Gen 1 ports as well as two USB 3.1 Type-C ports. It accomplished all of the tasks I set out to do, without complaint. On performance, this IdeaPad-branded Chromebook is not the most powerful device around either. The quality of the build feels great as well. Starting with the latter, that’s nothing too out of the ordinary but it’s a build that’s comfortable to use too. Where this device shines is in performance and design. The screen is also low-resolution and easily washed out. I was never able to use this device for more than 7-hours with even light browsing. For the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook 14, that’s rated at up to 10-hours. When Lenovo launched its IdeaPad 3 Chromebook series, battery life was one of the key talking points.

But those caveats, it turns out, limit this device significantly, while where this Chromebook stands out is not where it might be expected to. What I did expect, from a company that’s well known for it, is a high-value offering with a few caveats. It is, in fact, a decidedly budget-focused device. At just under $250, it isn’t a top-tier gadget. When Lenovo offered up its IdeaPad 3 Chromebook 14 to Android Headlines for review, I began by tempering my expectations.
