This refurbished Lenovo chromebook is a real bargain.
Its specifications exceed the qualifications for a
Chromebook Plus in that it has 256GB of storage in
a NVMe m.2 ssd. Its processor is only one generation
younger than the 13th generation Intel Core i3 in the
most current Lenovo version of this laptop. The only
thing that might give one pause is that this laptop is
"Refurbished" -- I found that this should not stop you
from grabbing one of these while they are still available!

My laptop arrived in a plain brown box. The packing of
the laptop and its power supply was the best I have
ever seen (see photo)! The chromebook and its power
supply were surrounded by the best bubblewrap I have
ever seen. There was no movement possible in the box,
and the dense bubble wrap provided extraordinary
protection on all sides.

The power supply is a Lenovo 45W brick with a usb-c cord about 5.5 feet long. It looks brand new. The laptop itself also looks brand new. I found no scratches or blemishes anywhere on the body. I provide many photos
to help illustrate this.

The display is excellent, as is the keyboard and touchpad.

of them showing any evidence of wear (see photos).

Upon opening the laptop the first screen displayed was
one showing "chromebook plus". The only reason this
does not appear on the lid of the laptop is because
this laptop was made a little before this classification
was created.

I looked at the diagnostics for the battery and discovered
that the battery has seen essentially no use. The health of
the battery is at 100%, and the battery has been through
only 1 charging cycle!

One of the reasons I purchased this chromebook was to
make use of the embedded linux in it. I checked under
"Developers" and verified that this chromebook has the
"Linux development environment".

I am very impressed with my "new" Chromebook Plus,
which I obtained at about half the cost of the slightly
newer version. If you too are interested in getting a
Chromebook Plus, I highly recommend this unit.
However, don't wait too long -- I suspect this will sell
out in the near future!

I purchased this mouse to use with my new 14" hp pavilion 2 in 1 laptop. I wanted a mouse to carry around with me as I went from place to place. This mouse does that job nicely. It is compact, yet fits my hand comfortably. It pairs instantly with my laptop. It glides smoothly over most surfaces. There is a button on the bottom to turn off the mouse when not in use, and thereby conserve battery power. It looks premium. It is a good buy.

This is an excellent horror film, done Italian style. The acting is great. Telly Savalas as the Devil is very good. Elke Sommer as the main character is great. If you have never seen it before, there are many plot twists. You will want to watch it several times to follow all of them. This is a film you will want to include in your collection of classic horror films. Highly recommended!

I bought this phone set because of its features and its classy looks - and it has not disappointed! It looks very nice in my home, and it takes up less space than my old set. It comes with a very big and thorough user's manual that is well written. The buttons and screen are very easy to read. Its clock has been spot on since I set it over a month ago. It fits my hand very well. This is an excellent buy!

This humidifier is very well designed and very well engineered. It also looks much nicer than the majority of humidifiers. It is easy to fill. It is very quiet, although it does make an occasional "glub-glub" sound when it puts water from the tank into the lower tray. It has a number of features other humidifiers do not have. There is a knob that allows you to fine tune the rate at which vapor is dispensed. There is a switch that allows you to have the device shut down after 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours. The device automatically shuts down when it runs out of water. It has a clever gauge on the front that shows the level of water in the tank - see the attached photo. It is best viewed from above at an angle. There is a white light at the bottom of the column that is pointed up. The light scatters at the surface of the water, showing the level.
The light gets brighter as the water level lowers. In the photo the tank is about a third full, as indicated by the upper white dot. This is a great buy.

The last time I charged this device was about 8 months ago. A few days ago my 2021 Jeep Renegade Trailhawk wouldn't start - the starter motor was dead silent. I pulled the device out of my glove compartment, and saw that it still had over 75% of its charge. I made 3 attempts to start the Jeep, and succeeded on the third attempt! This device saved my bacon. I am very impressed with its capabilities, particularly with its ability to hold its charge for such a long period!
