Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i

The Lenovo IdeaPad Flex 3i Chromebook (Gen 8) grants the wish we've spent years asking manufacturers for, but it comes via a monkey's paw rather than a fairy godmother. What should have been the next king of budget Chromebooks instead whiffs on the performance needed for even light-duty work, making this laptop good for watching videos, reading emails, checking Facebook, and not much else.
