Review
The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook 14M868 is a straightforward machine designed for users who've embraced the Chrome OS ecosystem. At its core, you're getting a 14-inch FHD display that's bright enough for office work and media consumption, paired with a MediaTek Kompanio 520 processor – a mid-range chip that handles everyday tasks comfortably.
The 4GB RAM and 128GB SSD combo is decent for a Chromebook, since Chrome OS is inherently lightweight. You'll rarely experience slowdowns when juggling tabs, documents, and basic productivity apps. The Abyss Blue finish looks professional, and the slim design makes it portable enough for commuting or library sessions.
What stands out at this price? The UK keyboard is a genuine plus if you're in Britain – no hunting for symbols. The build quality feels solid without being premium, and battery life should easily cover a full workday.
Where it's limited: the MediaTek processor won't handle demanding applications, and if you're invested in Windows software, this isn't your machine. The 4GB RAM is functional but not generous; heavy multitasking occasionally stutters. For anyone deeply embedded in Google's ecosystem – Gmail, Drive, Sheets, YouTube – these limitations barely matter.
Is it worth £134.25? Absolutely. At 38% off, you're paying budget prices for a capable web-first laptop. Compared to similarly spec'd Chromebooks, this undercuts most competitors. I'd recommend it for students, casual users, or anyone needing a secondary laptop for travel.
