The screen is the best on any device of this form factor, very bright with beautiful color. It is very, very thin and light. It is visually stunning and attracts interest, because it looks like a premium ultrabook not a sub-$500 Chromebook. The built in stylus is a nice touch, but it is not that great to use, especially when coming from using the Apple Pencil.
There are a number of pretty significant drawbacks to note:
Battery sucks as many have mentioned, but I always have a 87W Anker 20k mAh battery in my backpack to keep it going.
The keyboard is middle-of-the-road and the trackpad is poor.
The WiFi antennas are weak.
It doesn't seem very durable. Because of how thin it is, the device bends pretty easily. I was worried I might break it in the tablet holder on an airplane.
The screen hinge isn't the best build quality. I always find myself adjusting it, rather than just opening it to my preferred angle like I would on a MacBook Pro or Surface Laptop.
The touchscreen overlay is visible when using it as a tablet in portrait orientation, which is annoying.
These drawbacks are not dealbreakers for me, but I find myself pulling out my Mac if I want to type more than a few lines or do any sort of multitasking.

With that said it is a good deal, and I would have considered it if I had education discount access.

Also, can I format it and install Windows?

So, an interesting read, but this isn't really replacing ChromeOS with Windows7/10. It is installing Linux, installing a hypervisor, and then installing Windows in that as a virtual machine?
I would think that performance would tank..
