Best Buy currently has a killer Lenovo Slim 3 deal live on its site right now. The Slim 3 is a Chromebook and strictly a light work or entertainment machine, but at this price it would be mad not to get it. Word processing, web browsing, and watching movies or videos on YouTube has never been cheaper before this deal.
Lenovo Slim 3 specs
So, what does $149 get you with this deal? Surprisingly, quite a lot, as is expected from a Lenovo product. For starters, you get a 14 inch IPS display with a resolution of 1920 x 1080 and a max brightness of 300 nits. What’s even more welcome is the fact that this display is a touchscreen. The processor is a MediaTek Kompanio 520 that has 8 cores and a clock speed of 2.05 GHz.
You also get 4 GBs of LPDDR4X RAM and 64 GBs of eMMC storage. The RAM and storage might not seem like much, but ChromeOS is pretty efficient at running on limited hardware. You won’t be able to store a thousand movies, sure, but you won’t have any issues watching a stream late into the night.
A well-rounded machine
The Slim 3 also has a few other features that really make it a complete laptop. It has a 720p webcam so video calls and work meetings are a non issue. Its battery life is claimed at a whopping 13.5 hours, making it absolutely perfect for work, study, and entertainment.
You also get dual speakers and a microSD card slot, negating most of the issues you might have with storage space. Lastly, the laptop is also very light at 2.87 lbs. (1.3 kilos), so portability is very convenient.
The Lenovo Slim 3 is usually priced at $319, so this deal saves you $170. You save more than you spend buying it, making this deal an absolute bargain.
