Reviews for the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook 16, i3-1215U
Source: PC Mag
Cloud-gaming Chromebooks contain some of the best hardware and features you'll find on any Chrome laptop, as they should, but the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook delivers all of that without that much of a premium over, say, a midrange consumer Chromebook. It's not quite as impressive as the Editors' Choice-winning Acer Chromebook 516 GE, but that laptop leads by a slim margin, keeping the top spot due to small touches like a proper SSD for storage and embellished WASD keys for easier gaming. In the most important metrics, the two are neck in neck, making the Lenovo IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook a smart buy if you're interested in cloud gaming but want to pay a little less.

Lenovo's Gaming Chromebook is a pretty nice Chromebook even if you're not gaming. It has a nice 120hz 16:10 display that works great for game streaming and the i3 variant we have here performs quite well at most tasks.

15-inch display variants are the standard and are used for more than half of all laptops.
