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.

a few quick question:
(1) since it can run Android app, can it run Google Maps and navigation? Or does it not have an internal GPS antenna?
(2) can it play YouTube videos in 1440p or 2160p?
(3) is it possible to upgrade the RAM or the SSD?
Thanks for your help!
2) yes, in 4k. In 60fps it drops some frames. At 30fps it's fine.
3) RAM is soldered, no. SSD is NVME 2230.
On the other hand, I've never owned a laptop with 4k OLED screen. I get the feeling that I'll be enticed by the screen into keeping it....
Have to find a good point to convince myself to keep it.

I read a review that said 4 to 4.5 hours... that seems kind of reasonable to me for a 4k display. My Note 20 Ultra has a great display and I don't complain about its battery life being much shorter than my iPhone 12 Pro.(which I can sometimes go 2 days without charging)
By the way, can this Chromebook be charged from a large USB-C portable battery? (say, 20,000mAh or larger)
Thanks!
Just a quick glance around my house right now.... I can easily see at least 10 to 15 products that I don't really need. (but couldn't resist buying after seeing the great deal on Slickdeals)
We need a support group to cure our addiction to low prices and super deals... Slickdeals Anonymous.
According to this video replacing the SSD with a 1TB, https://youtu.be/QAyFRj-gORI
the system may have a SSSTC https://www.ssstc.com/product/bus...4-pcie-ssd

He also mentions that the windows vm running on linux was laggy - as expected though.

yes, portable battery will charge it but I guess will be very slow though.
