The highlights
The device has excellent build quality. The metal case is firm and gives a confident heft to the device without being too bulky.
The 1080p touchscreen is excellent. There are not many sub-$300 laptops with 1080p touchscreens and the one included in this laptop is excellent.
Top-firing speakers sound better than most laptops (although you'll want to bluetooth it up to a real audio system or headphones).
Android apps through the Google Play store and Linux are both included as they should be on all Chromebooks. Android apps play smooth, although the traditional laptop form-factor make playing games an awkward sight.
