One of the few Chromebooks with a 1080p screen ; Long battery life ; Runs quietly, stays cool ; Comfortable keyboard and trackpad ; Competitive price

Performance not as strong as promised ; Limited viewing angles ; Build quality feels cheap next to some rival devices ; Heavy compared to some competing models

Chromebooks are always a bit of an interesting topic for me. On the one hand, I really like some of what they offer as a glorified web browser, email checker, etc. On the other, I’ve got a smartphone – not to mention tablets – that can do all of that...
