While the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 has its weaknesses, it also has some strengths too – not least the low price that you can now pick the laptop up for. If you're primarily concerned with day-to-day computing tasks, affordability and durability, it definitely ticks those boxes.

An ultra-cheap Chromebook with reasonable performance, but the screen and build are sub-par.

If you can get past the display, then there’s the Lenovo IdeaPad 3 Chromebook is perfect for just about anyone and any situation. Plus, it’s under $200, and you really can’t beat that.

If you've got less than $200 to spend on a laptop for a child or as a secondary machine, Lenovo's Chromebook 3 is an acceptable option, though its small, low-quality display leaves much to be desired.
