Q: QuestionWhat covers/shells or cases are compatible with this model?
Asked by HPan.
- A:Answer Lots of companies make nice "messenger" bags or backpacks that would hold &n protect a 14" laptop. I got one that is branded a Lenovo because it was a good price and just right. If you order a bag or case be sure it says it will work with 14" or larger. To be safe get one that says it fits a 15". I carry a mouse, mouse pad, stylus and the charging power supply in my case along with the laptop.

Q: QuestionWhy does the on-screen keyboard keep turning itself on? I've tried all the suggestions on the internet, but no luck.
Asked by KG.
- A:Answer Hey KG, we're sorry to hear that you ran into this issue with your Chromebook. To try to resolve this, try doing a hardware reset (visit the following link to learn how to do so: https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/3227606?hl=en&sjid=11168473644130281663-NA), which reboots the embedded controller that manages your touchpad. If this doesn't resolve your issue, you may need to factory reset your Chromebook, which you can learn more about towards the bottom of the webpage tied to the previously embedded link.
