What to check before buying
- 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 it is worth considering
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 was in stock 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.
