Thank you for letting all of us know.

I just received mine today, must say it's a very nice tablet for $99 after using iPad mini for the last 6 years.

Nice and bright screen, larger than my mini. Set up quickly using my Gmail account! and linked to my Android phone, downloaded all my contacts, email, and shortcuts.

the only knock so far is the charging USB adapter is underpowered, it was reporting it would not charge while I was using it, only when I shut it off. I have a "brick" style USB-C charger, so I switched to that and it charges a lot faster. It had about 60% charge out of the box. I was down level a few updates but quickly installed those.


PS just finished charging! 99% indicated 14hrs 40min usage, that's nice my old iPad was only good for 2 hrs lately.

Dave, I just got mine today and my son set it up to charge, I noticed above that you said you have a brick" style USB-C charger, can you tell me what brand it is, as I think I should purchase one to go with this chrome pad. thanks

Thanks so much! Ordered one for my husband with a keyboard and he is looking forward to it! Great price!

I had actually been looking at IPads earlier today as he needs a larger reading surface than his iPhone so this was a great deal!!!

I also ordered the keyboard -- but I'm disappointed because I have received the chrome book -- but no word on keyboard yet -- and that was my purpose when ordering.

I also ordered the keyboard, and it did mention in the original email that I got that they would be shipped separately. I just finally got mine charged and all set up

I would recommend this Nektek brand charger because it's UL and USB-IF certified, has excellent rating. There are some cheaper sub $20 chargers but not as highly rated.

@SmithOp, thanks so much....

the charger is in the narrow cardboard box inside your Chromebook box

Hope someone can help! I have not been able to pair the 10e Lenovo Folio keyboard case with my 10e chrome book tablet

I have googled and checked Lenovo. Usually I can figure this out but am stymied ‍‍. Couldn’t be age - could it???

 

[glenmore]

Just got a message on tablet that my keyboard needed a critical update - could that be it? I am powering off, then on

 

[glenmore]

Critical update fixed it!

 

[glenmore]

It worked that day and hasn’t worked since. I checked for updates and there were some but now the keyboard won’t work at all

Does anyone have a solution??

 

[Kozman]

Ordered one in late January and still have not received it. I've received several e-mails offering the reason as unavoidable and that they are working to resolve the shipment soon. Still waiting.

I've been happy with my purchase -- except for speaker volume.
Attempted to connect external speakers -- but wrong port type.
Can someone recommend speakers?

I'd skip wired, and go wireless. Brand names of speakers are less important than performance these days. Can you connect Bluetooth speakers to it? Something powered separately, with a volume button, would likely counteract the low volume from the tablet itself.

I bought a JBL blue tooth speaker. They have a whole series of them. The bigger they are, the better the base and the higher the price (and vice versa). I have a Charge 3 and am pleased with it. We take it on all vacations, even if we're flying.

probably any headphone/speakers with a 3.5mm jack but I agree with others - go wireless. I use JBL

anyone have a decent/thick/etc cover they have bought for this they like? thicker the better (kids)

I was pleased that the keyboard is also a cover.

 

[TUGBrian]

interesting, might have to check that out!

was hoping for one of the thicker leather covers like my kindle has with the flap on the front etc.

that said, its held up rather well for the past week in "kid hands" dealing with drops and such.

does chromebook still have the problem of not being able to print on a printer?

Wireless printing works fine to my Canon AIO, I can scan to PDF also. My wife's iPad Pro works the same.
