We’re finally getting 12th Gen Intel Chromebooks, and by the end of the year, we should have a good range of powerful Chromebooks to choose from. That doesn’t even count the many ARM-based devices that MediaTek and Qualcomm will be putting out. (Perhaps even at some point Google’s own Tensor.) Still, if you are looking for a new laptop, the current class of 11th Gen Intel Chromebooks is still worth your time and attention.

 

The best thing about buying an 11th Gen Intel Chromebook is that you can often save a lot of money while getting some of the newest and best ChromeOS features. One of these devices is currently for sale on Amazon. It has an Intel Core i3 processor from the 11th generation, 8GB of RAM, and a 13.3-inch convertible screen that makes it very useful.

 

The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i is a simple but powerful update to Lenovo’s 10th Gen model. Because of how much it costs and how many features it has, the Flex 5 family has been one of our favorite devices for a long time. It takes a few shortcuts here and there to keep the price well below that of other “flagship” devices, but it doesn’t feel or look cheap. There are different versions of the 2021 model, but the one we’re talking about here has a Core i3, 8GB of RAM, 64GB of storage, and a backlit keyboard. You’ll also get speakers that fire upwards and USI compatibility for stylus users.

 

This model of the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i seems to have been put on clearance to make room for the upcoming 12th Gen version, and multiple Amazon stores have it brand new in the box for $295 or less. You can find the Lenovo Chromebook Flex 5i available from third-party sellers as well as listings fulfilled by Amazon and they are new devices with a full factory warranty. You could get a lot of Chromebook for less than $300, and Google would guarantee updates until June of 2028. At the link below, you can go to the Chrome Shop and find all the ways to buy a Flex 5i.
