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. It had one of the longest lasting batteries among tested Chromebooks. At 13.5 hours battery life was very long, enough for a full day's work and a little more. At 3.4lbs. weight was typical for a Chromebook this size and light enough to carry.
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 power button was well-labeled and in a convenient location. Friction on the touchscreen may prevent fast swiping, and fingerprints may take some effort to clean off.
Display: The display quality was fair overall. Colors were in the ballpark, though not completely accurate. 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. It has a touchscreen, which is a plus for those using Android apps.
