But Chrome OS is a lighter load, and I can vouch that the Flex 3’s screen is a bigger limit on multitasking than its horsepower is. On a Windows machine, these specs would be a hard pass. That’s the bottom of the barrel as Intel processors go, and it comes with just 4GB of memory (LPDDR4–2400, soldered) and 64GB of eMMC 5.1 storage. This Ideapad Flex 3 Chromebook configuration is powered by Intel’s dual-core Celeron N4020. That’s the lowdown on the chassis - let’s look inside. I’ve been using the Flex 3 as my primary driver for a week, and while I will miss the keyboard and audio when I send it back, I can’t wait never to have to look at this terrible screen again. I’m gonna be real: It’s pixel-y to look at. Moreover, it’s dim (maxing out at 250 nits), kicks back a ton of glare even indoors, and is quite low-resolution (1366 x 768). It’s cramped - I often use two windows side-by-side and I’ve been squinting at the tiny text to make that work on the Flex 3. Speaking of the display, though: That’s the second major drawback here. And the 360 hinge is sturdy, with a very little wobble. The display and keyboard are free of flex (despite the laptop’s name). It doesn’t feel at all flimsy, with an aluminum cover and a non-plasticky finish. I do like some things about the chassis, though.
