Performance: Performance was only fair. Speed was slow but adequate for productivity and Web-based tasks such as word processing, Web browsing, and online game play.
Sound: Sound from the built-in speakers was inadequate for all but the simplest use.
Portability: This Chromebook is a great choice for traveling. At 12.5 hours battery life was very long, enough for a full day's work and a little more. At 2.5lbs. weight was typical for a Chromebook this size and light enough to carry for long periods of time.
Ergonomics: The keyboard, touchpad, and labeling were all well-designed, making it comfortable and convenient to use.The full-sized keyboard was pleasant to type on.The touchpad supports use of multiple-finger gestures to zoom and scroll.The touchpad is easy to press for clicking.The touchpad is well positioned on the keyboard, so it's easy to reach and not prone to interference from arms or wrists.
Display: The display quality was good overall. Colors were in the ballpark, though not completely accurate. The display was anti-reflective, so there was little or no glare when viewing in a brightly lit room or outdoors.The viewing angle of the display is middling, so you might have to adjust the position for optimal viewability for one user and even more so for multiple viewers.
