Overview

The Lenovo Chromebook Flex 3 is a compact 2-in-1 designed for users who need a lightweight, affordable device for everyday tasks. Built around the MediaTek MT8173C quad-core processor with 4GB of RAM, it is tuned for Chrome OS's efficient demands — web browsing, Google Workspace productivity, email, video streaming, and light Android app use. The 11.6-inch HD IPS touchscreen supports 10-point multitouch input and rotates 360 degrees, allowing the Flex 3 to function as a traditional laptop, a tablet for reading or media, or in tent and stand modes for presentations and video calls.

At just 2.64 pounds and 0.77 inches thin, the Flex 3 is one of the most portable Chromebooks available, and its 3-cell battery delivers up to 10 hours of use on a charge. Connectivity includes USB 3.1 Type-A and Type-C ports, HDMI output, and WiFi 5 for wireless access. The built-in HD webcam and dual 2W speakers handle video calls adequately. With 32GB of eMMC flash storage, the Flex 3 leans on cloud storage for larger files, which is typical for Chromebooks in this class. It ships in Platinum Gray and runs Chrome OS with access to the Google Play Store for Android apps.

Frequently Asked Questions

No, it runs Chrome OS, which supports web apps, Android apps from the Google Play Store, and Linux apps if enabled — but not native Windows software.
For a Chromebook, 32GB is workable since Chrome OS relies heavily on cloud storage through Google Drive. However, users who store many offline files or Android apps may find it limiting.
The MediaTek MT8173C processor handles web browsing, Google Docs, email, and streaming smoothly, though performance may slow with many open tabs or heavier Android apps.
The display supports 10-point multitouch for finger input, but active pen or stylus support is not a listed feature of this model.
Lenovo rates the 3-cell battery at up to 10 hours, which is typical for light browsing and productivity. Streaming video or running Android apps will reduce this.
