Chromebooks, by their very nature, are mobile machines built for individuals on the go. With their quick boot times, nimble nature, and always-connected personas, Chromebooks are found often in the hands of individuals who value those traits. People who value the light and quick nature of Chromebooks tend to find themselves on the go a lot, in places like coffee shops and airports, trying to get a few things done on the move.

First decent review of this device, all the others keep going on about how MASSIVE it is and how silly it is in tablet mode. It obviously hasn't occurred to them that a 15.6 inch chromebook with high quality build and a great screen is what a lot of us have been crying out for. Good job.
I feel like I'm missing out - I've never once sat in a coffee shop with a laptop.
I don't even go coffee shops unless a friend proposes me to go with....
Its mostly done by start-up crowd, who think they are too busy and too important ;)
I mean i understand if you fix something for 2-3 minutes max but working for 1-2 hours in a cofee shop is more weird looking than cool.
Me either but I'm also a coffee snob who likes to make his own so I'm very odd that way. When on vacation and I do have to pay someone to make my coffee I will say I do see a good amount of people working. My guess is they are either on the road, on the way to the office, or in a work situation where they don't really have an office.
@@_Digitalguy Yup me too lol
My girlfriend tends to go because she cannot afford to pay for her WiFi, so she goes to places like Starbucks when she needs to check her email and update her Surface. It really depends on the person's needs.
Excellent review. This was the chromebook I wanted to replace my Toshiba 2 for. And now you have convinced me to go ahead and buy it.
i'd love the 128GB drive... Android and linux... along with the apps and programs...
that's where i5 128 machines are headed ,, normal Chromebook use dose not such things
alt-os might provide dual boot and windows,, again needing 128
I just received mine today, ordered directly from Lenovo, and it came with backlit keys. So far loving it after upgrading from my Asus C202SA.
Is it i3 or i5?
Just got this based on your review and the deal that you posted. Just starting to play with it, I used a Macbook Pro for 7 years through college and grad school and have been using a Surface Pro 4 for the past 3 years as my work computer. This is the first computer I've purchased since my $2500 Macbook, so I'm excited to see how this guy handles everything I throw at it.
I must amend this comment to say that I returned the Yoga within a week of receiving it. The camera was faulty and only worked once. And I just couldnt live without pen support. So I sent it to be repaired and that's when the customer service nightmare began. To make a long story short, customer service was terrible and it nearly 6 weeks for me to get my money back.
Instead, I bought a Dell Inspiron Chromebook 14 and am absolutely in love. :)
Had this for around two years now and it is still going strong and without any issues. A considerable size but I have no need or desire to swap this for anything else anytime soon. My version bought in the UK has backlit keys which he seems to think important but to be honest I don't really think it adds much.
I brought this based on this video and it shipped easily from Lenovo to Ireland with the taxes included. Thank You for your review. I wanted a laptop type replacement the size is not an issue for me.
Hope you still enjoying it. James in Limerick
@@jameswalsh2427 Yup its still going well and I receive regular software updates
On watching your review I went out and bought this model in the UK and it DOES have a backlit keyboard. This is my second chromebook and it is a great machine!
Does it support a stylus? If so can you recommend one pls
From my research, there's 2 variation models available. If you look at the model number, if it ends in "US" then it *does not* have a backlit keyboard. If it has "UX" (which you can get the i5 1080p and 4K directly from Lenovo), then it *does* have a backlit keyboard.
I MUST have a backlit keyboard. My three main requirements are 2 in 1, backlit keyboard, and battery life. I can't and won't make any concessions, especially for what they (in general) are charging for Chromebooks these days.
I understand but I'll say that screen brightness combined with the simple keyboard, I've had no problems using it in the dark.
I agree. But Pixelbook. Bought mine used two months ago, best decision I've ever made. LOVE this thing.
Pixelbook is life especially if you own a Pixel.
2 of the 3 versions on Lenovo's website have backlit keyboards. I don't understand why the Best Buy version does not. I work strictly at night and I'm not a typing wiz, so I also find the backlighting a must have.
The 1080p model WITH backlit keyboard is now available in the US.
I love mine 1.5 yrs later!
Have been watching quite a few of this channel's videos as I'm in the market for a Chromebook, and the lack of negative reviews / criticisms he gives does make me question his bias.
You need large storage for Android and upcoming Linux apps. 128G should be enough but if you take Linux into consideration it's not very future proof.
Model: 81JX0004US - 8GB RAM - 64GB eMMC HD - CPU i3 - Display 1920 x 1080
Model: 81JX0007UX - 8GB RAM - 128GB eMMC HD - CPU i5 - Display 1920 x 1080
Model: 81JX0008UX - 8GB RAM - 128GB eMMC HD - CPU i5 - Display 3840 x 2160
It seems to be that the ultimate setup would be a chromebook and a PC (windows or Mac or linux) at home. With the CB, use a wireless carrier's internet solution (USB antenna, etc) for encrypted internet over their wireless network with the addition of VPN tool to protect your browsing information location, etc. and also to tunnel into your PC at home when you need to do things that your CB can't do or can't do well enough.
Fifteen years ago with much slower internet I would often tunnel into my workstation back at the office to work on SolidWorks from anywhere that I had internet. Why install it on my home machine when all I needed was the internet. Now with the internet being everywhere and 25 times or more faster, just have that PC hiding on the garage or in a corner chugging away for more complex tools or work that you need done. Chromebooks are like the ideal base PC for most tasks as well as a thin client like device for connecting to more powerful machine when needed.
Get the best of both worlds and use the one device to interface with all your tools.
Been running crostini Linux container for a few days on this and while not perfect, I can say that I might not go back to Mac or Win
I can’t wait for the 17” Chromebook that was shown at recent CES. I forgot the manufacturer, but it’s looked BOSS. 💻
Lenovo backlit is usually Function + Space Bar.
I am still rocking my Dell 13 i5 touch. It's a monster and it even allowed for an ssd upgrade to 512 gb.
Aside from a few chromeboxes it's as fast a cb as I've seen. So this Lenovo really piqued my interest... a 4 core i5 with 8 gigs of ram, a 1080 ips touch screen (4k woud be fantastic but not necessary) convertible, usb-c, and decent local storage (even if the substandard emmc variety)
But the ridiculous omission of a backlit keyboard on a hardware set such as this is a nogo.. light the keyboard, include a display/cpu/ram upgrade option, then I'll bite.
+ the chin bezel. Lenovo like chin bezels but I really don't!
128GB is great for project "Campfire" or dual boot Win10
Just ordered the middle of the road build on Lenovo’s website. Very excited to give Chrome OS a try. When I was playing around with this Best Buy model I was thoroughly impressed with the weight relative to size. The X360 for some reason felt heavier compared (I know it isn’t but it’s a mental trick I guess).
I bought this machine off the back of this review and I'm very close to really loving it. I'd like to highlight, for me, an important omission...for web meetings that camera really isn't good enough in my opinion and the speakers are just as you say...OK.
I'd like to add that the camera failed on me and is back in the shop for repair...which somewhat undermines the premium "tank" perspective.
It's a great machine though...can you make a note to check the camera for web meetings in future...kinda important for those using this machine for work. One-finger opening would have been nice too.
Finally, I'd like to add I've had this driving 2 x 27inch 1080p monitors on top with no problem at all.
p.s. Really enjoying your reviews. I'm a Chromebook convert as a result of that machine and this review...Windows feels really clunky to me now.
p.s.s. btw mine definitely has a backlit keyboard !
Finally, a nice 15" option. Given how small the keyboard is, I wish they would've put speakers up there on the keyboard deck.
I think thac the Acer 15 does that?
Yes, Acer does that.. speakers on the keyboard deck, but despite that, the lenovo speakers sound better. I have both models. When you flip the compouter over a peudo tablet mode with the keyboard lying down, then the Lenovo speakers are front facing.
@@darrelrobertson8169 Yes
Another great review guys! I bought the exact version of this that you have in the office from best buy because of you first impressions video as my first chromebook. IT IS AMAZING!!!!!! Everything you said is exact! The literal ONLY miss step is no backlighting. I honestly think this is the best chromebook for the money on the market! Happy customer here!!!!! P.S. I tried to wait on you guy's review to pull the trigger but I couldn't wait, but you didn't disappoint at ALL! You rock!
You are amazing. The only guy that does the Chromebook review's correct and talks right to the point. Thank you so much.
I find he wastes a lot of time and doesn't give me the info I want. I prefer Lon Seidman reviews.
It's kind of a big deal when the marketing side of a company can't get their information to jive with the reality of what the unit has or doesn't have. Thanks for the review!
FYI despite what Lenovo say, there is no backlit keyboard on the 1080p version. It's only on the 4k.
Any suggestion on buying between the C630 or the Dell Chromebook 14? Both are presently under 600 USD right now. Plus for Dell - sturdy build, stylus included, marginally lighter. Plus for Lenovo - better specs, bigger screen.
I hope we see more Chromebooks this year, I was hoping to see more than tablets and CPUs so powerful that they need a fan.
Thanks for updating the music ! Refreshing! I’m subscribing and enjoy your reviews! Keep up the great work!
Still undecided between the HP x360 or this one. Both look amazing
I agree, i think the lenovo's have a lot going for them as they are thin and lite weight.
The X360 while looking and sounding greate have received some complaints over the quality of the plastic when repeatedly switching from tablet to laptop in a short space of time,
Has made me consider the x360 near the bottom of the list where a lenovo is first.
With the Ram and Storage, My question is can you dual boot it with Windows? Also how is the Linux functionality in Chrome?
I'm glad that Chromebooks are starting to improve their processors, but this laptop still seems very expensive for what you get. This thing sells for $700 USD. That's more than I paid for my Pixelbook. If what you actually need is a portable workstation, there are 100 Windows laptops out there who would do the job better. I love Chromebooks as much as anyone here, but PCs are the dominant force when it comes to productivity, workstations, etc.
Great video, I’m in the market for a chrome book and these videos are great reference.
It seems alot of companies have marketing issues, constant marketing of having backlit keyboards ,but actually never having it.smh
I had my motherboard changed twice within 2 months from unboxing.....Still negotiating with Lenovo on the remedy...
Picked up the Core i5 version last month from BestBuy when it was discounted and came with a free Google Home Mini. Love the device as my very first Chromebook! It flies, great battery life and handles pretty much anything I can throw at it thus far. Also enjoy that plugging in a ps4 controller via usb is recognized and functions seamlessly as if it's a native peripheral for this Chromebook! Have any questions, feel free to reply to this comment too!
What of Linux? Have you tried its native feature? It's surprising that they integrated this feature, to begin with. Goes to show that the OS is getting better.
@@alecdaniel6204 The OS is definitely improving with each update! As for the native Linux features, I have not played with it just yet, unfortunately.
How is the battery life? Neat about the PS4 controller.
@@l5k656 haven't done a proper test to see batt life in number of hours, but working all day then using it for 2-3 hours at home in the evenings, I can easily get 3-4 days before needing a charge.
No backlighting is a deal killer. I work late at night and in order to not disturb anyone, I work in almost complete darkness except for a small lamp to my left which casts a shadow across my keyboard.
Seems like a nice Chromebook but I'll hold off for the new Asus 2 in 1. By the way, what's the name of that plant on your desk?
Limited ports on board, limited keyboard, no "Home, End, page up, page down" buttons, no backlit keys. The price is still high (2021), yeah that`s a fantastic device
I bought this the other day. I really like it - Chrome OS, Android, and Linux all running at once. The speakers do kinda suck but that's my only complaint as backlight keyboard doesn't bother me. It's a little wide which is good and bad, depending on your situation. I gave my 2018 MacBook Pro to my wife after using this service couple of days.
I managed to buy one yesterday at Best Buy. I bought one that was Geek Squad Certified in Excellent Condition. The device was barely touched. Even better, the box the device was in was mislabeled with an even lower price by mistake, but the sales rep and manager was more than happy to give it to me at that lower price. A device that normally would run $733 with tax only costed me $458, a savings of $275! That was a steal!
The exact same thing happened to me but mine came out at $368. Only problem is when I wanted to swap it due to dodgy pixelation on blue and orange they wouldn't do it as the receipt did not match the device.
This is why I was glad that the rep allowed me to look at the device before I purchased it so that I could see if there was anything wrong with it.
@Scott Gibbs- You're definitely missing out. Get out there and live your life bro!! I recommend going to one coffee shop, walking in, look around, scoff and walk out. Then go to a 2nd, more sophisticated coffee shop that gets you.
Here we are in July 2020... Is it still worth a buy?....
Watching this on my C630. Love it. Great Vid. Any suggestions on how to clean all these fingerprints?
have you tried screen wipes and by the way, where are the speakers mounted
are u still using this? how's the performance?
I Sold it awhile ago and got an IPad Pro.The performance was great. I didn’t like how the whole google eco system isn’t as fluid as Apple. Android included. It’s hard for me to explain but IOS just works better. IMO. @@ma.kairaumali9190
@riffraff thanks for sharing. :)
Yes! Love this Yoga!
Could you mention when you review if a device supports the Linux (Beta)? I enjoy your videos. Thanks
How would anyone compare this to the HP x2 chromebook?
I'm just waiting for the Thinkpad Chromebook!!!!
Lenovo has c630 chromebooks on their website, but only available right now with 4k screen. It also has backlit keyboard, for the same price as the 1080p/no backlit version at Best Buy ($700). Looks to be the pres day sale. Biggest problem is the 4-5 weeks to delivery...ug. Looks really powerful tho, ridiculously so for a chromebook...but I still want it.
Lenovos are workhorses. I like the Asus C302; I have purchased 4 as gifts. I will get the new 434 when it ships...
A trackpointer would be nice and a instant dock.
I'm not a road warrior so maybe I'm crazy but I disagree that a large laptop is what you would want on the go. If I'm working in shops, bars, or on planes, I want something that will always fit small areas. I've used my little 10" Asus flip on trips and it has been great. Plenty of times I would have not been comfortable with a larger screen just because of no space. If I were on the road and working in nothing but offices with my own desk everywhere I went then yes the bigger screen and keyboard would be much more important. But otherwise, I just can't see being able to use a bigger laptop in small areas. I'm hoping that others feel the same way because I would jump on a small 10" Chromebook that comes with a good CPU and RAM. Sadly I think I'm in the minority and the smaller Chromebooks will always be targeted to the lower end of specs.
I'm using the Dell isperon Chromebook 14, 7000 series. I moved from my Pixelbook (still a great chromebook, but old. That's it. ). I prefer the build quality. Imo
I've been pretty happy with the speakers actually. Plenty loud and clear enough. Not nearly as tinny as the other chromebooks i compared with at best buy.
Which ones did you compare it to?
Where are they Mounted
I live the bigger screens. Would even love a 17. Just wish they come with heaps more storage. Even mobiles come with 512gb storage so no excuse to offer that as standard.
Chromebooks are cloud devices. They don't have as much storage because they don't need it. 128 is a lot for a chromebook. I understand what u mean tho, I personally want to install linux on this, which is a different story.
@@ashtonbeattie8902 They certainly started as cloud devices. I had one with only 32gb when it really was a glorified browser, so that was perfect. But with them running linux and Android apps now its a different beast all together. Should at least match specs of popular high end mobiles. 512gb is no longer considered a lot of storage
Sue Lenovo for not providing the customers with the promised backlight keyboard.
Sue for misinformation at the most....Bestbuy too.
the i3 is now down in the 150 range on Ebay
Lowest I See is $450, you must be looking at bids, and not "buy it now" or must be looking at another lenovo chromebook.
Nice review...sort of expensive...agree that a backlite keyboard Iwould be great. During the holidays I picked up an Asus C523 Chromebook for $274. IDS tousch Full HD screen, pentium processor, 4gb ram 64gb storage...same ports and appearance except silver...not a convertable.
If you have this laptop I kinda need your help, everywhere I see it says midnight blue, is it actually blue or is it just grey? Are there even other colors to choose from?
Anyone else really really enjoyed this review
Video idea \ question: we've all been happy with 4gb of ram in general but with the more readily availability of running Android apps on Chromebooks, should I just go with 8gb like on the c630? Is more ram better if utilizing Android apps while running multiple tabs?
What's this development environment you're using?
First I thought it's Cloud9, but on a closer look it's something different.
Could you make a video at any point on what options are there for software developers on Chromebook? I think that would be interesting for quite a few of us over here.
So far I'm really happy with my set-up using cloud9, but would be really interesting to see what other options are there which you have used and possibly have an opinion on.
yeah I know I'm a bit late to the party ;) have seen it more than one video of yours and always wondered, but never asked as ... something happened.
How do i control the fan on this thing? It's always on full speed!
Got the i5 yesterday with 1080p and backlit keyboard for 580 euros. So far so good, the only thing I wish was a way to disable the backlit during the day. Maybe there's one way, but I didn't find it yet. oh yes, and 100GB of cloud storage for 1 year 😎
Hey, do you know the NTSC/sRGB rating on this laptop?
In the UK the Lenovo Yoga C630 Chromebook equipped with Core i5 / 8 GB RAM / 128 GB SSD based on model number, 81JX0003UK, had a backlit keyboard (see Lenovo Product Reference site psref.lenovo.com/Product/Lenovo_Tablets_and_Convertibles/Yoga_Chromebook_C630 ). This was selling for £699 which by UK standards was a great price. It appears the Lenovo UK website has now sold out (in less than one month) as there are now no models available for purchase, and I cannot find any UK retailers selling this device. Hopefully they will re-appear for sale in the near future.
Piss colored tint to the image, and weak speakers, no backlit keyboard? i feel like id be downgrading from my acer 15
Sorry to go a bit off topic Robbie, you mention Nord VPN, which I use but it would be great to have an expert overview on how to set it up on a chromebook. Also maybe pros and cons for Android app version and Chrome browser extension on a chromebook.
i almost plan to get this until you say no backlit , and the screen color that you view some website looks dull to me. If they put a anti-glare screen, with backlit, this thing will be perfect to me.
Completely true. Backlit or bust.
Lenovo does have one 4k display (option) in the C930...not a Chromebook. But is part of the Yoga series. Is a 2-in-1...has a built in stylus...would be the laptop i'd get if I were in the market for...
Should I dump my Chromebook pro for this?
Does this one supports Android Apps? I guess it should....can anyone pls confirm
Would you take this one over the Acer Spin 13?
How does this compare to the Google Pixlebook i7 version that was recently $450 off? Is this still better or is the i7 pixlebook with 16g of ram and 512g of storage better? Please advise @Chrome Unboxed.
I'd choose this over the pixel book.
Does this chromebook support a stylus?
How do you guys backup the chrome books? I have installed android studios and openJDK,how to backup those Linux apps?thanks
Great video... thanks!!
Thank you I bought one because of your review and that’s (on me )
Does it support a stylus? If so can you recommend one pls
Will you ever review the Acer Chromebook Spin 15?
Backlit keys are available. Is this the one to own?
I have the UK version direct from Lenovo and mine does have backlit keyboard. Strange
which version as there are a few, like 1080p & 4K,, i3 & i5,, what is your version
ps. how do you turn on the back lite
I asked Lenovo and they told me it isn't available in the UK yet, how did you buy it?
@@matthews4159 I have the 1080p core i5. The backlight comes on automatically when you switch the chromebook on
could you do some more lenovo reviews please as there are plenty waiting
Can anyone help I’m quite new to all of this but want to know if this will be good at tuning Adobe apps
How well do linux and android apps run on this?
Have you developed apps with this function
U actually means "ultra-low power"
Linux compatible apps?
This is a really, really interesting video.
I was so confused when the music was playing in the beginning... I thought my phone was playing music....
It confused me aswell. I had the headphones in. Plugged it out to listen where it comes from.
How is this is a workstation if it didn't have a thunderbolt 3?
This Chromebook is fntastic.Elite glass trackpad? check Elite backlit keyboard? check if you do it right. Raw power? check. Handsome good looks? check Great screen? check FHD looks as good as my27" imac retinae display. Awesome price? check if your patient. I paid $500 worth $700 all day long tho.
I'm really disappointed that these Chromebooks don't have a temperature control for the monitor. This yoga has a very warm yellowish tint to it and that's a big turnoff for me.☹ Even my iPhone has a temperature control to make it a cooler less yellow screen.
It's not bad to post the octane score.
I'm trying to decide between buying this Chromebook in the i5 BestBuy offering and the Samsung Chromebook Plus V2 m3. I would be using it as my main laptop for school and home use. Do you have any insight that may help me decide which one to buy?
This one if you can afford it
samsung is more portable,
Very Little pen support. Lenovo's own pen's won't work, had to send it back (Pen) Had to go to tech. support on a long phone call and the recommended pens are less than steller especially if your going to use any graphics program!
Which pens worked for you?
Does it use windows?
Would you get this or the new Asus Chromebook.
Asus
do it have ssd ?
Why did Lenovo name both a Chromebook and a Windows laptop the C630? Are they trying to confuse people on purpose?
