Great review. I just purchased this Chromebook. It works well overall. I only have a few complaints about it. The screen quality is only average and does not have anti-glare or IPS. I also don't get anywhere near 13 hours of battery life. I only get about 8-9 hours. I also wish the screen tilted backwards just a slight bit more. Other than that, it does seem rugged and looks attractive. Performance is nice and zippy. The backlit keyboard is a nice touch. I also like the USB-C, which saves room from having to lug around those power bricks.
