    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.

    Portability: This Chromebook is a Very Good choice for traveling. Battery life lasted 12.75 hours in a light load of web browsing tests, and 7.75 hours in a heavier load of 4K video playback tests. Results were notably longer than many similar Chromebooks, under a workload of mixed use. At 3.1 lbs, weight was typical for a Chromebook this size and light enough to carry for long periods of time.

    Ergonomics: 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. The power button was well-labeled and conveniently located. The touchpad was among the largest of those tested, and provides ample space for different touch gestures.

    Display: The display quality was Fair overall. Colors were not reproduced as accurately as on better displays. The display was anti-reflective, so there was little or no glare when viewing in a brightly lit room or outdoors. The display had a narrow viewing angle, so you'll have limited flexibility in how to position the screen for optimal viewability for one user, and it will be difficult for more than one person to look at the screen at the same time. Its display has worse contrast than on most other tested Chromebooks.

    Useful features and attributes on this model include: You can connect common external devices such as hard drives and DVD players using USB 3.2 Gen 1 (5 Gbps) for maximum performance. The power supply and chassis are lighter than the average weight of a chromebook and power supply.

    Downsides: At about 6 ft length, the power cable is shorter than most others, so you'd need to be mindful of power outlet locations.
