Lenovo Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 (14" Intel) review

The Chromebook Plus 2-in-1 packs the most everyday convenience per dollar on this list. Lenovo's US store sold model 83LN0005US for $529.99 when we checked, marked down from a listed estimated value of $799.99. That buys a 14-inch WUXGA touch screen with Corning Gorilla Glass, an 8-core Intel Core 3 N355 processor, 8GB of LPDDR5 memory and 128GB of UFS storage. Lenovo adds a fingerprint reader, a backlit keyboard, a 5MP camera with a privacy shutter, Wi-Fi 6E and a microSD card reader, which helps if 128GB fills up with downloads. The 50Wh battery charges over USB-C with a 65W adapter. The pen is optional and sold separately. The tradeoffs: the memory is soldered at 8GB, the screen is rated at 300 nits, and at a starting weight of 1.5 kg (3.31 pounds) it is the heaviest model here. If the sale ends, compare it with the ASUS Chromebook Plus CX34.
