This Chromebook is filled with so many awesome features, so let's go by categories:
Design
This Chromebook is one of the best looking ones I have seen. This laptop doesn't cheap out and has a beautiful aluminum chassis which even goes to the bottom of the laptop, chrome accents around the feet of the laptop and trackpad, and pretty chrome hinges. There's also the screen, which is amazing. With an 87% screen to body ratio, it looks beautiful, and also allows the laptop to fit in a very small body, helping portability and looking great. There is also an ErgoLift hinge, which raises the laptop up for a more comfortable typing experience. Brilliant!
Trackpad and Keyboard
Let's start with the trackpad, which is meh. It is the only thing I am not too fond of. It is pretty rough and makes it a little hard to move around, but it looks pretty good and has a good clicking sound. However, it's not terrible, just a normal trackpad, not glass or anything special. As for the keyboard, I love it. The 1.4mm of travel makes the keys feel enjoyable to touch, and the backlighting is nice, and the intensity can be changed (ALT and brightness up or down). The silver keys are also different and look good.
Ports
Port selection is good on this Chromebook, having two USB-C ports on both sides of the Chromebook, which can both do all functions. There is also a USB-A port on the left side, as well as a headphone jack, and the power and volume buttons. There is also a Micro SD slot, but it does poke out when it is put in.
Performance
The performance of this Chromebook is great and can handle normal Chromebook users tasks, like multitasking Netflix or Hulu, and 4 or 5 tabs. It also has up to 10 hours of battery life, which I have found to be quite correct, even with the backlit keys on and high brightness.
Display
I have to have a whole separate part for this. IT'S AMAZING! The display is Full HD (1080x1920) on a 14-inch display and it doesn't look dull at all. It's pretty much bezel-less and makes the laptop way smaller than other Chromebooks around its size, like the HP Chromebook X360.
This Or The HP Chromebook X360?
When I was shopping for a new Chromebook, I looked at this and the HP Chromebook X360. There were some pros about the HP, like the Gorilla Glass trackpad and better processor, but I did not like the weird looking two-tone color scheme, and the fan run processor, which I definitely did not want, so when I looked at the ASUS, I was blown away with its bezel-less screen, aluminum body, ErgoLift hinge, and fanless design. Also, what sold me on it, was it was cheaper, by $70 (I got it on sale)!
Overall
Overall, if you're thinking of getting this, get it. It is so much better than the X360 for the average person's needs, and the quality design and beautiful screen will make you fall in love with it every time you open its aluminum lid.
