The IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook is powered by the 12th generation Intel Core processors with 8GB of DDR4 memory. It packs a 16-inch 16:10 120Hz refresh rate display. Unlike most Chromebooks that have very limited storage, the IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook comes with 128GB eMMC storage plus an M.2 NVMe SSD of up to 512GB. To complete the gaming notebook look, the IdeaPad Gaming Chromebook comes with an RGB-lit keyboard.
