At $349, this Lenovo Chromebook Plus is one of the best value laptops you can buy

December 3, 2025 By Joseph Humphrey View Comments

We track Chromebook deals every single day, so we know when a device hits an all-time low. We also know when it creeps back up a bit. The Lenovo Slim 3i Chromebook Plus is one of those devices that fluctuates. We’ve seen it hit a ridiculous $249 at the end of last year, and while today’s price of $349 isn’t that low, I’m here to tell you that it is still an absolutely fantastic deal. At $200 off its MSRP, this device remains one of the best value propositions on the market.

Why the Slim 3i punches above its weight

If you missed our initial review, you might be wondering why we’re even talking about a plastic clamshell Chromebook. The answer is simple: execution. As Robby noted in his review, the Slim 3i “nails nearly every part of the Chromebook experience in a way that few other devices manage to pull off.”

  • The Screen: You are getting a 14-inch FHD (1920×1080) IPS touchscreen that pushes 300 nits of brightness. In a world of dim, washed-out budget panels, this screen is punchy, vibrant, and a joy to use.
  • The Power: Because it carries the Chromebook Plus badge, you know you’re getting guaranteed performance. It packs an Intel Core i3-N305 processor, 8GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. This chip is efficient but powerful enough for heavy multitasking, Android apps, and even some light Linux work.
  • The Build: Despite being plastic, the chassis is “exceedingly firm.” It doesn’t feel cheap. It has a stellar backlit keyboard and a solid trackpad that rivals much more expensive devices.

Still a smart buy at $349

At $349, you are getting a premium-feeling, high-performance laptop that will last for years. It’s perfect for students, home offices, or anyone who wants a great computer experience without spending $500+.

If you need a reliable, enjoyable laptop right now, don’t let the fact that it was cheaper once scare you off. This is still a lot of computer for the money, and at this price, it’s one of the best value laptops you can buy.
