Pros and Cons

Lenovo IdeaPad 3i

Strengths

The Chromebook itself was in like new condition with zero battery Cycles
The trackpad is pretty decent for an entry-level Chromebook, it's a large size has a good click feel to it when pressed and responds well to gestures
The keyboard is a plus point to this Chromebook being a larger device you get the benefit of the number pad as well the keys have a medium travel to them and feel nicely responsive to type on
General performance is no issue, even with light gaming such as Real Racing 3

Weaknesses

The build quality feels all plastic but it's solid enough which may be expected at this price point
The trackpad was a little loose feeling, which bugged me so I opened it up to adjust it and improve it (Note: not recommended as it voids the warranty)
The display is a compromise, full HD but TN rather than IPS, so it looks washed out and viewing angles are not great
There's only one USBC port for power data and display out
