This Intel-powered Chromebook is ready to take your gameplay to new heights- no matter your location!

This provides a total of six cores, split between two P-cores and four E-cores, helping to give the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook an excellent all-round performance. While I am well aware that ChromeBooks quickly became a trend and saturated the market, some of which caught keen glances from the tech community (Google Pixel, I’m looking at you), I unfortunately can’t see enough merit in the platform for most types of use to make it worth the cuts you take compared to an Apple or a Windows notebook. As far as I’m aware, Nvidia GeForce Now and Shadow Blade are the only widely available services that support this resolution and refresh rate.

The Acer Chromebook 516 GE, an alternative gaming-focused Chromebook with a 16-inch display, offers everything found in the Lenovo alongside a more attractive and luxurious chassis. They’re upward-firing, which means the sound won’t be muffled by your laptop, and provide good stereo stage separation along with a hint of loud-end oomph in music and movies. App support can be limited, and you may have to settle on using an Android app to cover all your bases, which may or may not be ideal.Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i Gen 8 14 Intel 12th Generation Intel® Core i5-12450H Processor E-cores up to 3. Whether you're jumping on for a couple of rounds or linking up with friends to dominate the arenas, the IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook gives you access to an expansive library of games. They carry with them a fair amount of mids, and not much in the way of low-end, but are still decent enough for day-to-day work and relaxing with content on Disney+ or Prime Video after you’re done. I thought perhaps it might have been a beta or enabled flag bug… But I power washed and ran into the same issue without any device customization.

The 51wh battery lasts an exceptionally long time on a Chromebook even under intense usage – which, given that it is mainly running the equivalent of a web browser and maybe a mobile app, seems to make a lot of sense. The top also houses a 1080p webcam, which is a nice touch, as some Chromebooks and Windows laptops are still lumbered with a 720p one, even in this day and age.Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 5i Gen 8 16 Intel 12th Generation Intel® Core i5-12450H Processor E-cores up to 3.

Intel’s Iris graphics processing unit (GPU) will enable you to enjoy a number of classic older games, along with some casual (web-based) gaming. Every individual detail of the IdeaPad 5i Chromebook 14" is engineered for maximum speed and ease of use, including the powerful 11th Generation Intel Core i3 processor that cuts through the heaviest workloads without breaking a sweat. But I also made early observations about the 11th-gen Intel Pentium Gold processor, noting that it impressed me.makes this quite a heavy laptop for its size though, making it a little bit more of a pain to carry around. With a 16-inch display and a 1920 x 1200 resolution, the Lenovo IdeaPad 5i has plenty of screen real estate for serious work.
