I quite enjoy the feel of a giant tablet that is actually used as a lap top. I like how compact it is and for my family's needs, this is a great buy.

Here's a list of everything I encountered after 3 days of use:
- 6-hour battery life straight out of the box when idle. Goes down to 4 when watching the video.
- Closing the lid causes the entire thing to black screen and requires a restart to fix
- Restarting went from being instantaneous to taking around 5-minutes
- Bluetooth got randomly disabled, and I couldn't turn it back on even after rebooting. I assumed this was a chrome-os issue, but it persisted after a factory reset so now I'm not so sure.

The laptop is a Chomebook Plus machine. That meands that it has slogtly huger end spwcs than a standard Chromebook. It seems well built and works for my purposes which include streaming, email and using google suite for spreadsheets and word processing. There is one tradeoff as there is no HDMI port. Instead it has a SD card port that can help expand storage. It does flipnopen to be uses as a tablet. Overall so far the Chromebook has been working well and it suits my needs.

This is the second Lenovo product I have purchased. The first one, a true laptop only lasted about four years, about average, I guess. Well, this one didn't last one day until I returned it. Setup was easy using existing Google accounts, but beyond that, the hardware issues were already apparent. The bluetooth would say it was connected, or sometimes wouldn't even find the device. When it was "connected" the sounds would continue to come out of the unit's built-speakers. I tried the powerwash feature to wipe it and start all over, but no luck. Other consumers on Amazon complained about bad keyboards, and looking back at my one day's ownership, mine did exhibit some lack of response when hitting the keys. Probably a good thing that the bluetooth didn't work from the get-go so I could promptly get rid of the thing, I would not recommend this product, or for that matter, any Lenovo products.
