Terms of the previous offer
- ChromeOS cannot run all Windows or macOS desktop software. Check specialist applications, peripherals and games before ordering.
- The 256GB eMMC is slower than an SSD and is soldered with no storage slot, so there is no internal upgrade route.
- The 8GB LPDDR5 memory is soldered and cannot be upgraded. It is adequate for ordinary web work but not ideal for heavy multitasking.
- The display covers 45% NTSC, so it is not intended for colour-critical photo or video work.
- Amazon listings can switch seller or configuration. Confirm ASIN B0CHF986Q4, exact model 83BN001EUK, new condition and Amazon as seller before paying.
Why the previous offer stood out
Very good value at £249.99 for a new Chromebook Plus with an i3-N305, 8GB memory, 256GB storage, a 300-nit IPS screen, UK backlit keyboard and included charger.
- The exact new 83BN001EUK configuration is available at a public £249.99, shipped and sold by Amazon.
- Lenovo's exact-model specification confirms a 14-inch 1920x1080 IPS anti-glare panel rated at 300 nits, plus a UK backlit keyboard.
- The 256GB eMMC provides twice the local capacity of many budget Chromebooks, and the exact model includes a three-pin 45W USB-C adapter and one-year base warranty.
