Best Chromebook money can buy if you don't care about battery life.

Edit: if you are not heavy mobile.
I am returning the one i purchased about 2 weeks ago for 539 + Tax, and just bought this for 479.40 + Tax = 516.55.
Thanks OP.

By the way, whoever has this Chromebook, do you have any issues with the screen brightness that weirdly adjust itself? sometimes it gets so bright when i haven't even touched anything.
and it might be the ChromeOS issue, but when I close the lid, it was supposed to go to the Sleepmode, then I can wake it up with my finger print, however, it just restarts itself and I can't find a setting related to this issue. It sometimes happens when the laptop has enough battery though.

Please chime in if you know about the issues I mentioned here.

just FYI. you can never ever stream 4K contents on this Chromebook other than the Youtube's 2160P contents. Netflix won't work at 4k which is a huge flaw for me. I've even tried the Edge browser by using Linux. but didn't get it to work. so I am still not sure what I can use this Chromebook for. Well I don't use this for any office work so. Just for a media consumption, this isn't the one. I'd rather use my Tab S7+ which can play 1080P HDR+ contents from Netflix as a Netflix Certified device.

In the process of doing a powerwash. Will update if I get the issue again or not. On a separate note, backing up a chromebook isnt as intuitive as backing up an android device.

Same issue after the powerwash. Leave a video paused on netflix, close the lid for a while, tap 3 times ( or wait 15 mintes) and voila - enter password screen. System restarted. Frown Going to return this one. TBH havent been very happy with the battery life either.

No more issues for me, all seems to be working fine now (looks like that thing I did with the flags was messing it up).

I am happy with the battery life, NO 4k display will get you more than 4-5 hours realistically

I'm having high success rate by hitting the lock button before closing the lid (95%+). When I just close the lid directly, it's a high probability of crashing (50%).

The reboots/crashes during sleep are due to an SSD firmware issue. Google will hopefully release a firmware update for it soon.

Got my replacement unit - mine crashes while lid's closed too.
It also crashed while I left it idling with the lid open yesterday; glanced over and saw it restarting.

Hopefully the fix comes soon.

MacOS and/or Windows would be nice on this thing. It is cool to see progress being made.
