Lenovo Chromebook Plus i (15" Intel) review

The Chromebook Plus i is the big-screen family pick. Lenovo's US store sold model 83T10015US for $629.99 when we checked, down from a listed $849.99. It has a 15.3-inch WUXGA touch screen with a taller 16:10 shape, 400 nits, 100% sRGB color and a 120Hz refresh rate, which is the smoothest display on this list. Inside are an Intel Core 3 N355 processor, 8GB of LPDDR5X memory and 256GB of UFS storage, plus a 50Wh battery. Lenovo includes a fingerprint reader, a 5MP camera with a privacy shutter and a full set of ports: two USB-A, two USB-C with DisplayPort and an HDMI 1.4b port. Lenovo's spec sheet says it passed MIL-STD-810H military testing. It starts at 3.44 pounds, so it is better on a kitchen table than in a backpack all day, and the keyboard is not backlit. If you only need the large screen and not touch, the Chromebook i shares the chassis for $349.99.
