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. At 8.75 hours battery life was long, enough for a full day's work. At 2.6lbs. 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 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 good overall. Colors were in the ballpark, though not completely accurate. 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. It has a touchscreen, which is a plus for those using Android apps.
