To my surprise, the Lock button (top-right) is not "Instant Lock" but you have to hold it for a few seconds so there are no accidental locks.
The touchpad feels amazing. I'm still getting used to the new shortcuts and gestures (coming from a windows user). This laptop passes the 1-Handed lift test...if it on a surface that's gripping the bottom.
Bad things...like everyone says, the speakers. They're downward-facing under the hand rest area. You really have to crank it to hear anything. For me this is fine bc I can just pair any BT device.
I love that it can slave off my OnePlus for internet.
One big thing I noticed on the brand new Spin 713 (11th gen Intel cpu) is they removed the USB C charging on 1 side. So you'd be limited to only 1 side for charging.
This Chromebook is already a beast compared to most models. For the subtle upgrade to the cpu on the new model, I don't think it's worth it to pay more for a laptop just because it's newer.
IMO, this Chromebook at this sale price is too good to pass up.

I have this laptop and I'm a pretty big fan... I actually haven't even felt the need to install Windows yet, since I use it as my "couch laptop" and wind up just browsing most of the time. Screen is great, and I love the 3:2 screen ratio, the only negative I have for this laptop is that the speakers are too quiet and in the worst possible location.

"Then there's the cost, which is $69.99 per year (£49.99 in the UK) for Parallels Desktop for Chromebook Enterprise, plus the cost of the Windows license.
Parallels has no plans as yet to release a version of consumer Chromebook owners, but watch this space."
Looks like you'll need to spend some extra money for Windows.
