Detailed Test Results

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.

Battery Life and Weight: Battery life lasted 11.25 hours in a light load of web browsing tests, and 6.25 hours in a heavier load of 4K video playback tests. Results could get you through a typical workday, under a workload of mixed use. At 3.9 lbs, weight was typical for a Chromebook this size and light enough to carry.

Ergnomics: Some features of the keyboard and case were well-designed, making it comfortable or convenient to use. The keyboard has large keys and was comfortably sized. Its high contrast letters were easy to read. It has a built-in dedicated number pad. Friction on the touchscreen may prevent fast swiping, and fingerprints may take some effort to clean off.

Display: The display quality was very good overall. Colors were in the ballpark, though not completely accurate. The display was brighter than most and it's anti-reflective, a plus for viewing in a brightly lit room or outdoors. The display has a wide viewing angle, especially important if more than one person needs to see the screen at a time, say, for a video or presentation.

Useful features and attributes on this model include: Chromebook has a touchscreen. This Chromebook has a full-size HDMI port and full-size DisplayPort for connecting to a TV or monitor.

Downsides: The power supply and chassis are heavier than the average weight of a chromebook and power supply. This model has less than a few years remaining until Google stops updating the OS.
