I picked up this Lenovo 300e Chromebook as a secondary device, something I could toss in my bag for on-the-go tasks without worrying about my more expensive laptop. And honestly? It's been surprisingly useful. Use Cases: The "Coffee Shop Companion": I often find myself wanting to escape the home office and get some work done at a local cafe. This Chromebook is perfect for that. It's lightweight, the battery lasts long enough for a few hours of work, and it's great for writing emails, browsing the web, and even some light document editing. The 2-in-1 design comes in handy when I just want to read an article or watch a quick video while sipping my latte. Travel Buddy: I recently took a short trip, and this Chromebook was ideal. It's small enough to fit easily in my carry-on, and it's great for staying connected, checking flight details, and even watching a movie on the plane. I also let my child use it for some light games, and the touch screen was perfect for that. Kitchen Recipe Reader: I've found myself using this chromebook in the kitchen. The 2 in 1 feature allows it to sit on the counter like a tablet, and display recipes while I cook. I don't have to worry about getting my main laptop dirty. Simple Task Machine: Let's be real, sometimes you just need a device for simple tasks. Checking email, browsing social media, watching YouTube – this Chromebook handles all of that with ease. It's also great for letting the kids use for schoolwork or simple games without worrying about them messing up my main computer. My Personal Take: Yes, it's a renewed device, so there are a few minor scratches. But honestly, for the price, I'm not complaining. It's not a powerhouse, so don't expect to run demanding applications or play high-end games. But for everyday tasks, it's more than adequate. The Chrome OS is simple and intuitive, which is a plus for me. I don't need a lot of bells and whistles. I just want something that works. I have had no charging issues, and the battery life has been acceptable for my needs. Overall: If you're looking for a budget-friendly, portable device for everyday tasks, the Lenovo 300e Chromebook (Renewed) is worth considering. It's not perfect, but it's a solid little machine that gets the job done.

I bought this refurbished Lenovo Chromebook. The touch screen works well, though I mostly only use it as a laptop. It is easy to use and is the light enough to carry as a tablet. The screen quality is fine and the speed is as expected. Sometimes it freezes up and I have to restart it; which only a minute to reboot. It is durable for what I do with it.

***Update: I amended this review from three stars to one star, because a couple of weeks after I posted this initial review, my computer simply stopped working. It will turn on, but I get a plain black screen. With all the other issues I was having, I simply decided this was not worth the hassle and returned it. I will also note that I didn't mention it in my initial review, but this whole process also included another purchase of the same item that was for some reason flagged as undeliverable during shipping, so I never received that one. It's just become a massive headache that's already worth more than $80 in my time and energy, so I opted to simply return the computer. The return process was easy at least, but I will not be buying refurbished electronics on Amazon again. I'm leaving my original review below for posterity.*** I bought this computer advertised in "like new" condition for around $75. I wasn't expecting miracles, but there are a couple things I have an issue with enough to give a 3 star review. They're not a big enough deal to request a refund (again, $75 computer here...I feel like going through the process of requesting a return/replacement is more of hassle), but not great. If this had been advertised for its actual condition, I still might have bought it, but I'd be giving it a much better rating. Biggest one is that in my "like new" computer, the track pad is wonky. It sometimes catches clicked down in a way I can feel if I click too far to the bottom left, and I have yet to be able to successfully highlight anything because the drag is weird. Neither of these are a huge deal for the way I plan to use this computer (especially because the touch screen does work fine so worst case I just highlight by touch), but it's less than I expected based on the listing. The other is that my computer arrived dirty, which I wasn't surprised by as other reviewers have mentioned it, but it was kind of disappointing. I don't think it was anything particularly gross, but there was a goopy smear on one of the device's silver-colored hinges that was rather off-putting, along with a spray of dried droplets on the screen. Probably just grease or oil and the residue of cleaner, but let's just say I cleaned the whole thing thoroughly before I used it. Overall, though, I just needed a really cheap computer to get me through a couple weeks, and this fits the bill. It runs fine other than the trackpad issue, comes with a decent charger, set up easily, all that good stuff. Just, you know, be aware that you're definitely getting what you're paying for!

MediaTek CPU 4GB/32GB flash $51 deal. PROS: Good video audio is fine and a bit tinney . Better with earbuds or bluetooth speaker. The 2 in 1` feature is a plus. Compact and easy to drop in your backpack. Keyboard is adequate. Not up to the usual Lenovo standards but better than other Chromebook I've tried. Battery seems up to spec. Mine came with a charger ProtonVPN loaded up no problem. Signal is available Linux (UbuntuMATE) is easy to install in developer mode. Consumes about 10 GB available flash memory (32 avail) CONS: The SD card reader is not fully enclosed inside the case like most microSD (i.e. Raspberry pi) do so you must remove it when putting in your case. I bought it in Mar 2025. Software (security) updates end in June 2025. The touchscreen is insensitive and difficult to use..

Great Chromebook, I use it at work it is very user friendly, and I like the size of it.

It does it’s job

The charger doesn’t work at all. I had to purchase a new charger. The charger that was sent with the laptop had opened wire even with them tried to put tape on the open wire you can still see it

Came in great condition easy setup so liking it very much for my needs

I was looking for a replacement for my old Chromebook. I saw this ad during Boxing Day. I thought it was a very cheap Chromebook. I was aware that it was refurbished, so I didn't have high expectations. I was just hoping that it would function well. I was actually pleasantly surprised that the unit is still in decent condition. Other than minor scratches on the back of the screen, everything else looks fairly new. The keyboard looks clean, and the touchscreen is quite responsive. It charges quickly, and battery life lasts long. I don't know if I will encounter technical issues down the road, but so far I am quite happy with this purchase.

Llego en muy buen estado, la pantalla es táctil y funciona muy bien, me encantó, además llego en menos de una semana 💯♥️✨

Es perfecta 🤩

I bought the "acceptable" condition to save an extra 40$ and it was worth it. Scratches and scuffs on the outside but the screen and rest of the keyboard are in near excellent condition. Chromebook fully flips to be a quasi tablet. It's fast enough to provide my 7 year old with a learning platform and media machine. The battery lasted 6+ hours out of the box without charging. I give this listing an A+ for the price

The unit I got wasn’t a touch screen, the trackpad was faulty and the rubber portion had cuts. Not to mention the chrome OS bugged out. Units like these should be donated or recycled
