Is the 4GB of RAM enough?

For a handful of browser tabs, docs and video, yes. With many tabs, large spreadsheets or several apps open at once, it slows down. ChromeOS leans on the web, so light use is fine.

Can I store files locally?

64GB of eMMC is small, and ChromeOS takes up part of it. Plan on cloud storage or a USB drive for photos, video and downloads.

Does it have a backlit keyboard?

The listed specifications do not mention a backlit keyboard, so assume it is not backlit.

The laptop and its power adapter. No optical drive or media drive is included.

Is the screen good for drawing or notes?

It is a touchscreen, so tapping and light stylus-style use work, but it is a 60Hz panel aimed at everyday tasks rather than pen work.

How does it compare with Intel-based Chromebooks?

Intel Chromebooks generally feel faster for heavy multitasking. This model wins on screen sharpness and weight for basic school and home use.

Our take on the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3 Chrome 14" FHD+ Touchscreen Laptop

The IdeaPad Slim 3 Chromebook is a 14-inch ChromeOS laptop built around a MediaTek Kompanio 540 chip, 4GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC storage. Its 1920 x 1200 touchscreen is sharper than the 1366 x 768 panels common on budget Chromebooks, and it weighs just under 3 lbs. The 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage are the tight spots: it handles browser tabs, docs and video, but heavy multitasking and local file storage run out fast. Against pricier Chromebooks with Intel or Core chips, it trades speed for a light, low-cost package with a good screen.
