Fast & light but very sharp bottom edges

on January 4, 2017

Posted by: elijahlynn

Verified Purchase:Yes

**Only owned for 1 day so far**

This thing, is light and fast (Octane score is 22-23,000. It has USB-C charging (the future) and has a great backlit keyboard and trackpad. It also appears to have a decent palm detection algorithm while typing and doesn't erratically ghost touch.

However, the bottom edges are unfinished and cut into your hand when you pick it up. Feels like a cut is bound to happen soon. We are going to try to exchange for another one, if not we will have to return it even though it is amazing!

I was worried the M3 wouldn't be enough and that we may have needed to get the M5 or M7, but the M3 is snappy fast and this is a pleasure to use. The other Chromebook we purchased initially, an ASUS 2 in 1 10" was a joke compared to this and the ASUS 2 in 1 gives Chromebooks a bad name, it was just soo slow.

PROS
- USB-C charging (2 ports, both take a charge)
- Light
- Sexy
- High resolution display
- Backlit keyboard
- ChromeOS gestures work nicely (three finger swipe down to show all windows etc)

CONS
- Very sharp bottom edges, literally close to knife. I think it was an "oops, we forgot to sand that one" and we are going to return it and hopefully get another one.

- Hooking up a USB-C to HDMI dongle to our 1080p Toshiba results in a grainy, unviewable display UNTIL I move a window onto it and start trying to use it. Was not easy to figure that out initially, that is a bug I reported to the ChromeOS team already.

- Webcam is poor/grainy in low light, could have put a Logitech c920 in there instead

- No touch screen, I am spoiled by touch screens, all Chromebooks should have a touch screen

- Built in camera app cannot use an external webcam

My Best Buy number: 0594553968

I would recommend this to a friend!
