Detailed Test Results

Performance: Performance was good. Speed was 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. At 7.25 hours battery life was long, enough for a full day's work. At 2.7lbs. 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 full-sized keyboard was pleasant to type on. The keyboard was lighted. The power button was well-labeled and in a convenient location.

Display: The display quality was very good overall. Colors were accurately reproduced, realistic, and natural looking. The laptops display was brighter than most, a plus for viewing in bright indoor lighting 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.
