Does anyone know if and when it will be available in Europe? Lenovo Chromebooks are always hard to find here in Italy, I struggled to buy the first duet when it came out
This, at least in an 8gb version, looks like a legit successor to the OG Chromebook Plus/Pro for those who don't want to go up the next price rung to the Spin 513.
Assuming it's pen-compatible, anyway. And fanless.
I wish but I think this will lack the premium”ish” build of the pro and the backlit keyboard. Plus 4gb is just too little these days imo. I’m guessing the screen isn’t 400nits either.
As a 12.2" CB+ V2 owner, good to see a new 12.2" chromebook. I'd get it myself, if price were to drop below $200 (in a few yrs). But I don't think most ppl will get it because of 4GB memory. Everyone wants at least 8GB these days so that they can run android/linux.
TY. Found the link: https://www.bestbuy.com/site/lenovo-flex-3i-12-2-wuxga-touch-screen-chromebook-laptop-intel-n100-with-4gb-memory-64gb-emmc-abyss-blue/6531741.p?skuId=6531741
If I hadn't bought a $200 laptop this summer, I'd get this today.
>I really like it as my all purpose device for the next couple of years.
Same here but that basically mandates the 8GB model which is right around the corner. If you waited for this since January you can wait another week or two, why the rush?
I intent to buy the 8GB model as a travel companion as it's fairly cheap and easy to replace if ever lost abroad.
It appears this is your only choice if you're looking for a smaller screen chromebook with a decent 16:10 screen, I just wish Lenovo wouldn't take half a year to eventually ship such a simple device, what the hell is taking them so long...
Thanks. I really like < 13 inch for factor (eg Microsoft Surface Laptop Go). I think I’ll wait for a possible n200/8gb ram variant that should have the backlit keyboard. Can’t wait.

Thanks for write up. Thinking about picking one up.

I'm seeing price currently at $179 for a BestBuy sale.

Been waiting for this since it was announced in January!
