Andorid Apps are lucky if they work.
Good point.ThinkPad's unique key touch and track point.ThinkPad service manuals are available, and you can replace parts yourself (continuing the ThinkPad tradition).Comfortable operation with powerful AMD Ryzen and VEGABad pointsThe sound quality from the speakers is lower than the ringtones from a smartphone.Android apps are slower than expected.CPU cooling fan noise is annoying.There was an AMD Ryzen-powered Chromebook that had been appearing on benchmark sites since 2020 under the codename Zork, but it has finally shipped as a product.The Zork name could be seen in the Android settings of this device. Also, as of June 2021, the device is running the equivalent of Android 9.The Pixelbook Go also has an unusually good key touch for a laptop, but this device also has a very good key touch for a ThinkPad. It's hard to compare the two, but both are very good.The size seems to be almost the same as the ThinkPad X series.Here's a picture of the ThinkPad C13 Yoga Chromebook on top of the ThinkPad X240. The size is the same. It fits perfectly.In addition, the weight seems to be the same. I didn't have enough arm strength to use this as a tablet PC.I guessed that it would be difficult to run all the Android applications due to the architecture and origins of the OS.However, games that use a lot of 3D were much heavier than I expected, making them unbearable to play.Some of them can only be played in tablet mode.It would be tiring to flip the lid every time for an Andorid app.One thing that bothered me was the sound.The sound quality of the speakers is so bad that you'd think it was a 30-year-old NEC laptop.Secondly, the sound of the CPU cooling fan was also annoying. If you wear headphones, you won't mind. The heat exhaust port is located near the hinge, not at the bottom, so the sound may spread easily.I've written about the good and bad points, but my satisfaction rating is 5 stars.I like AMD Ryzen and don't really like Windows, so this is a good companion to carry around outside.

Not as advertised
This laptop does NOT have a finger print scanner. I am very disappointed. This is actually the second laptop I’ve bought from Amazon that wasn’t advertised correctly.

Perfect chromebook
I hemmed and hawed over whether to purchase this chromebook, having heard grumblings over the performance of the processor, battery life, etc. I got it for less than $500 (Ryzen 5/3500, 8gb RAM, 128Gb storage), which is insane now that I am using the machine. It would have been a good deal at a significantly higher price. It's beautiful and versatile, does everything I need. I cannot emphasize enough how nice the build quality is. I have been leaving my Macbook at home, preferring to travel with this device--having a variety of ports is a real plus. It's also helpful that my family can login on their own accounts, which is a chrome thing, but a security feature that cannot be emulated on other operating systems. They are all jealous of this machine, and at the price I paid I should have picked up two, as the build will last a long time. The screen is plenty bright and crisp. The keyboard is perfect. It's nice to have the option to use a stylus, trackpoint, and fabulous touchpad, depending on what I am doing. I read the newspaper in tablet mode, and have also used it for drawing. It's not that great for note taking due to lag, but for filling/signing forms and annotations on documents it's just fine and all I need. We do a lot of chromecasting for music and movies, and the the native Chrome OS makes this easy. We have had other chromebooks (Asus, Dell, Samsung) and all were decent, but this one truly stands up to dedicated business and personal use. Cannot recommend it enough, and hope that Lenovo continues with Chrome builds of this caliber.

Well Built, Easy to Use
I really like the C13 Yoga. It is extremely well built. I like the display, keyboard and all the USB slots available. My 1 complaint would be the speakers are not good at all and should be much better for a higher end Chromebook. Other than that; I like its speed (I have the 5 with 8gb ram). I wish it would be able to log in with your fingerprint from the start of the computer, but using smartlock with my phone seems to work, most of the time. As I learn more and more about the Chromebook, I am seeing that I can do almost everything and more than with my Window's laptop. I need to learn how to use the stylus better. This is definitely a well made Chromebook, except for the lousy speakers. I am VERY happy with my purchase.

Ryzen 5 is not ready for ChromeOS
I really wanted to keep this Chromebook. It is a nice color of blue. It has incredible build quality. Feels better than a Mac! Screen is really nice and plenty bright. I prefer the 16x9 format. The speakers are good enough for me. The hinges were tight. The keyboard was a dream.The problem is that no matter how good all the above was the cpu or apu, Ryzen 5 3500c performs really bad on Chrome OS. All video playback on apps, and through the browser had choppy playback. Gaming was terrible and pretty much unplayable. I tried updating, trying beta channel and nothing helped. Such a shame because if it had an 11th gen intel i5 I would be writing an entirely different review but the Ryzen 5 is really bad. I actually feel bad for Lenovo. Hopefully they will make a gen 2 and AMD will use 5th gen mobile chips next time. 3rd gen AMD Ryzen was just okay but was plagued with video driver problems. AMD made a big mistake here. If they would have even used a 4500u the performance would be night and day. Considering Chrome OS doesn't use resources that much and the Ryzen 3500c should have more than enough power and gpu but it feels like a Celeron with 4gb ram???

Disappointing
Apps from play store do not run well. This unit has an emulator issue. Several of the apps give me an error that emulator needs updating. Everything else about it is almost perfect except the speakers. Unfortunately this will be returned . very disappointed.
