Detailed Test Results

Performance: Performance was good. Speed was adequate for productivity and Web-based tasks such as word processing, Web browsing, and online game play.

Battery Life and Weight: Battery life lasted 13.75 hours in a light load of web browsing tests, and 8.75 hours in a heavier load of 4K video playback tests. Results were notably longer than many similar Chromebooks, under a workload of mixed use. At 3.3 lbs, weight was typical for a Chromebook this size and light enough to carry.

Ergnomics: Some features of the keyboard and case were well-designed, making it comfortable or convenient to use. The keyboard has large keys and was comfortably sized. Its high contrast letters were easy to read, and the backlighting can be useful in dark rooms. Friction on the touchscreen may prevent fast swiping, and fingerprints may take some effort to clean off.

Display: The display quality was very good overall. Colors were near-accurate and mostly realistic and natural looking. The display was brighter than most and it's anti-reflective, a plus for viewing in a brightly lit room or outdoors. The display has a wide viewing angle, especially important if more than one person needs to see the screen at a time, say, for a video or presentation. Its display produces a wider array of colors than on most other tested Chromebooks.

Useful features and attributes on this model include: Chromebook has a touchscreen. This Chromebook has a full-size HDMI port and full-size DisplayPort for connecting to a TV or monitor. The power supply and chassis are lighter than the average weight of a chromebook and power supply.

Downsides: There is no memory-card reader, so you'll need to buy an external reader or connect your digital camera directly to this laptop to transfer photos.

It has a touch screen, and 2 full-size and 1 type-C USB ports. As with most Chromebooks, it comes with a USB charger, but this means you'll lose a USB port to plug in the power cable when charging. Video outputs include: an HDMI full-size port supporting HDMI 1.4, supporting DisplayPort over USB-C. It also supports WiFi 6 (802.11ax), which provides faster and more dependable High Efficiency Wireless, but you'll need a compatible router to see the faster speeds. It has Bluetooth 5.1 built-in. It has a manual sliding cover to hide the webcam when not in use. Google Play is available for downloading Android apps and games.

The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 14IAN8 Chromebook measures 12.7 inches wide by 8.5 inches deep by 0.9 inches high, and it weighs 3.3 lbs. A standard manufacturer's warranty for Chromebooks covers 1-year, with 1-year tech support, but some vendors may provide free additional duration.
