The new Lenovo Ideapad Chromebooks were launched in India today. Meanwhile, at an event in China, Lenovo unveiled the new Yoga 13s 2021 Ryzen Edition along with four other laptops. Today in India, the company launched three new Chromebooks: IdeaPad Flex 3i with 11.6-inch screen, IdeaPad 3i with 11.6-inch and 14-inch displays. These are the latest devices to be added to Lenovo’s Chromebook lineup. Chromebooks are nothing more than small, lightweight laptops built for work, and they run Google’s Chrome OS instead of Windows.
Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i and IdeaPad 3i Specifications
The IdeaPad Flex 3i is a 2-in-1 laptop with a 360° hinge that allows users to rotate the screen and use the device as a tablet. It features an 11.6-inch HD+ touchscreen. The Chromebook is powered by an Intel Celeron N4500 processor with Intel UHD graphics paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.
The IdeaPad 3i, however, comes in 11.6-inch and 14-inch displays and also offers Full HD+ resolution. It features an Intel Celeron N4020 processor with Intel UHD graphics coupled with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. However, this Chromebook is not equipped with a touch screen.
Both Chromebooks run Google’s Chrome OS and offer G-Suite and Voice Assistant. The Chromebook comes with the Google H1 Security Chip to protect against malware and other threats. In terms of connectivity, the Chromebook comes with Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, a 3.5mm jack, a microSD card, and two USB-A ports.
