However, the screen brightness is dim. Even while using the laptop indoors, there was a need to increase the brightness to suit my eyes. And same goes while using the Chromebook outdoors. Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3 Chromebook 11IJL6: Performance Alongside the Celeron chip is 4GB of system memory and just 64GB of eMMC-style storage. All told, it’s a pretty unimpressive technical line up that represents a bottom-rung Intel-powered solution. Were this a Windows laptop or convertible, that would be enough to have us running for the hills. However, the Chrome OS environment is both less demanding and also cloud-centric. So, outright performance and local storage are not as critical.

Meanwhile, wireless connections include 802.11ac Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 4.2. There's no support for the latest Wi-Fi 6 (802.11ax) wireless standard.

Alas, if you think that Lenovo has stumbled upon some hidden exception to the rules of physics and economics to fit such high-end features into a tiny enclosure at a palatable asking price, think again. The Flex 3's most significant compromise is its cramped, dim 11.6-inch HD display. Yes, you can touch it, but with a brightness of just 250 nits and a resolution below the 1080p (full HD) that we consider adequate for budget laptops, it's not all that pleasing a panel to look at. In all of these benchmarks, the Flex 3 came in significantly behind the more expensive and more powerful Acer, roughly equal with its non-Flex cousin, and comfortably ahead of the Chromebook Duet (which has an especially pokey Mediatek ARM processor). Battery: These systems do not support batteries that are not genuine Lenovo-made or authorised. Systems will continue to boot, but may not charge unauthorised batteries. Lenovo has no responsibility for the performance or safety of unauthorised batteries, and provides no warranties for failures or damage arising out of their use. **Battery life is based on the MobileMark® 2014 methodology and is an estimated maximum. Actual battery life may vary based on many factors, including screen brightness, active applications, features, power management settings, battery age and conditioning, and other customer preferences.

Neither are most this good-looking. Lenovo painted the metal finish with an almond color, which helps the Flex 3 stand out in a sea of plastic and occasional gray-aluminum chassis that typically make up the budget-laptop set. The Flex 3's battery life is adequate. It lasted for a bit more than 10 hours in our video rundown test, which involves playing a locally stored video file with Wi-Fi turned off. That should get you through a day of occasional browsing, but it's on the low end for a modern Chromebook. A Slate of Strengths...and One Key Weakness Lenovo supports the Flex 3 Chromebook with its standard one-year consumer-laptop warranty for parts and labor. Testing the Flex 3: Average Chromebook Performance

Were this a Windows machine, that Intel Celeron chip, 4GB of memory and 64GB eMMC SSD would be enough to invoke fear of the almighty, as in almighty awful performance. But not in a Chromebook. The Flex 3's main strengths are its above-average build quality, attractive styling, and wallet-friendly price. With a generous range of ports, it should also appeal to people who plan to supplement their Chromebook's internal storage and perhaps connect an external keyboard and mouse. And a 360-degree hinge increases its versatility without adding extra bulk.

Inside, the Flex 3 is available with just one set of computing components, and they’re pretty much exactly what we expect from a Chromebook at this price point. In addition to the 64GB of flash storage, they include an Intel Celeron N4020 processor with integrated UHD Graphics 600 and 4GB of system memory.

Because life happens

Of course, there are now numerous affordable 2-in-1 Chromebooks to choose from, including the Acer Chromebook Spin. The general theme in that class of Chromebook involves low-power processing and limited storage. The Flex 3 is no exception.

The Chromebook features a Intel Celeron N4500 processor paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. Right from switching on the Chromebook, you need to wait for a few seconds. Though as you will lift the lid the laptop gets automatically on but yes it does take a few seconds for the laptop to respond. If the sheer quality of the Flex 3 is surprising, its core specifications are less so. Processing power comes from an Intel Celeron N4020 CPU. That’s a dual-core chip derived from Intel’s low-power and low-cost Atom line of processors, rather than the premium high performance Core family.
