The Lenovo Chromebook 100S would be a neat option for someone with meager needs, or on a tight budget. But you can spend the same amount on machines that run Windows 10. Storage will still be woefully limited, but Windows 10 lets you install apps from the Windows 10 Store directly to an SD card or USB key, which should save a bit of space.

The Lenovo 100S Chromebook offers a sleek design along with solid performance and battery life in our tests at a price that's low, even for a Chrome-OS-based laptop. Our Editors' Choice chromebook remains the Asus Chromebook Flip (C100PA-DB02); its screen is smaller at 10.1 inches, but its IPS panel offers great viewing quality, as well as touch and convertible tablet-style capability. If you're faithful to the original chromebook concept of a simple, affordable laptop, however, the Lenovo 100S Chromebook is an attractive choice. We wish it had an IPS display, but that would raise its rock-bottom price.

A great Chromebook is the computing equivalent of a Swiss Army Knife. It can be pulled out anytime you need to complete a quick task or have a short web browsing session. It isn’t intended to repair your car or cut down a tree, but I have to wonder whether the Ideapad 100S is even suitable for tightening up a showerhead.

Like other Chromebooks, the Ideapad 100S comes with preloaded Google’s Chrome OS and links to the company’s online services (Gmail, YouTube, Docs). Also standard Chromebook fare: You get 100GB of cloud storage on Google Drive free for two years. More apps—both cloud-based and local—are available via the Chrome Web Store.

Lenovo's 100s Chromebook has flaws in just about every area we looked at, but for $179 they are easy to look past.

Whether you're buying it for a kid or you just need a very portable device for email, document editing and social media on the go, the Lenovo 100S Chromebook is a great choice. If you're willing to spend more, the $279 Dell Chromebook 11 has a better design with a better keyboard and touchpad.

Review: Lenovo Ideapad 100S Chromebook
Source: Slashgear English Archive.org version
If you've used and like the Windows 10 version of the Ideapad 100S, you'll like the Chromebook version too, assuming you prefer using Chrome OS. It comes with the added benefit of being about $20 cheaper than the Windows 10 version, but of course Chrome OS isn't as robust of an operating system as Windows 10, so there's a tradeoff there. Whether the Ideapad 100S Chromebook will work for you is entirely dependent on your needs, but as far as Chromebooks in general go, the new Ideapad holds its own.

The keyboard and trackpad are a joy to use and feel like they belong on a more expensive laptop. The keys save smooth travel and there is great feedback that lets you know you’ve completed each keystroke. The keys are also comfortable with enough grip and space between them that hitting the wrong key doesn’t happen too often. Important keys such as Shift, Enter and the space bar are all full-sized.

Comment

Model: Lenovo welcomes the Chromebook world with this compelling 100S Chromebook. It is themed as the lightweight and budget-friendly 11.6 inch laptop and runs Chrome OS rather than a Windows operating system, whereby most Chrome browser fans will be familiar with the interface, apps and extensions. Its LED display offers a pleasant resolution of 1366 x 768 pixels. Other specifications include a 2.16 GHz Intel Celeron N2840 dual core processor, 2 GB of RAM, USB 2.0 and USB 3.0 ports, an HDMI port, an SD card slot and a headphones jack. These are regarded as completely essential for an 11-inch machine.

Its epic battery life allows web surfing for 8 to 11 hours in average. With a size of 11.81 x 8.23 x 0.78 inch (30 x 20.9 x 1.98 cm) and a weight of 2.52 pound (1.14 kg), the notebook is easy and and convenient to carry in a bag. However, the lighter plastic build is at the expense of durable and quality. It may pick up the fingerprint easily, especially on the black matte touchpad. Nevertheless, the overall design is still simple and nice.

Intel HD Graphics (Bay Trail):

Integrated GPU for tablet and notebook Bay Trail SoCs. Based on the Ivy Bridge GPU with four Execution Units and support for DirectX 11.

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

N2840: Soc with an integrated dual core Atom processor clocked at up to 2.58 GHz and an Intel HD Graphics GPU.» Further information can be found in our Comparison of Mobile Processsors.


11.60":

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

Lenovo: Lenovo ("Le" from English legend, novo (Latin) for new) was founded in 1984 as a Chinese computer trading company. As of 2004, the company was the largest laptop manufacturer in China and, after acquiring IBM's PC division in 2005, the fourth largest in the world. In addition to desktops and notebooks, the company manufactures monitors, projectors, servers, etc, and specializes in developing, manufacturing and marketing consumer electronics, personal computers, software, enterprise solutions and related services.

In 2016, the company ranked first in the world in computer sales. It still held it in 2023 with about 23% global market share. Important product lines are Thinkpad, Legion and Ideapad.

In 2011, it acquired a majority stake in Medion AG, a European computer hardware manufacturer. In 2014, Motorola Mobility was purchased, which gave Lenovo a boost in the smartphone market.


69.14%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
