The palm rest has always been plastic. I had the original version for a short period just after release and can confirm this. The stealth silver color makes the palm rest to look like matal though. On the other hand, the shitty light titan color makes the matal top cover to look like plastic.

Not according to various sources. https://www.urlhasbeenblocked.com...model.html

EDIT: Since the article was blocked, just Google it. Articles reference the stealth silver model with a metal keyboard deck and plastic bottom while the titan model has a plastic keyboard deck and bottom. Both models have a metal lid.

I have the stealth silver (purchased/received a few days ago for $180) and the keyboard deck is now plastic with a plastic bottom with a metal lid. So, I think the article might be correct back then, but the current manufactured stealth silver (Made in Vietnam - December 2020) is now different - is rounded and mostly plastic with a metal lid.

That's what I was thinking. Any previous advantage of the $180 over the titan $152 is really not there anymore, outside of maybe the rounded edges. Of course the titan 32gb isn't in stock, so there's that.

Overall, a nice value chromebook for $180. That screen is really nice and I like it even more than the 13.3" QLED I had used.

That is my hope - will probably keep given the quality of the build and screen.

I've the Chromebook plus v1 which is painfully slow. Is this any better?
Mines still going strong.

I dont think this one is much better, and is worse battery life and a worse screen.

You may want to go to a higher end cpu.

Quote from PiCASSiMO :
EOL = End of Life? Interesting... I had no idea that Chromebooks expired. We have two at home, one old and one a little newer. How do I check their EOL?

The chromebook itself doesn't expire, what expires is support from Google when it comes to OS/security software updates.

How's the keyboard on this thing? Getting it for someone who is a heavy writer. Would you recommend for someone who's just about to start college?
