A:AnswerHey, restoman. Great question, and as a matter of fact, Google works with Best Buy to verify which products sold are "Works with Chromebook" certified. Here's a link to a Best Buy webpage (https://www.bestbuy.com/site/promo/chromebook-accessories?qp=category_facet%3DHard%20Drives%2C%20SSD%20%26%20Storage~abcat0504001) with search results on certified external storage.
A:AnswerHey, rose. What we can say is that the 2W stereo speakers were optimized to give a well-rounded, adequate audio experience, but we encourage other users of the Flex 5i that may be able to, to shed light on their opinion of the sound.
A:AnswerHey, based off the system requirements that are listed on this LibreOffice webpage (https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/system-requirements/), upon brief review, whether or not this software is supported on Chromebooks or ChromeOS devices is inconclusive.

A:AnswerHi, rcarder. No, it does not feature an HDMI port, but it does feature two USB-C ports that support display output. Those Type C ports can be adapter to HDMI to connect an HDMI cable to the adapter and to the monitor.
A:AnswerSince this is a chromebook, most software is not downloadable as it is not compatible with ChromeOs. Microsoft products including word are not downloadable. You can use the web version of word and excel but there are some things on the traditional version that aren't available on the web version. To know what products are usable, google what is downloadable on a chromebook.

A:AnswerHello, luvrock. You could use a USB-C SD card reader adapter, preferably one that is certified with the Google initiative "Works with Chromebook".
A:AnswerI'm not sure if it hibernates, but it definitely holds its battery for a long time when it is shut. I've had it closed and unplugged for a whole weekend and still had half the battery on monday.

As a note, we recommend ensuring contact of pen tip to the screen before resting your palm down again.
