Happy to see a 1080 screen on a 17.3" chromebook. Way too many 17's have the 1600x900 screens on them.
Passmark is adequate for a chromebook. Takes a microsd for extra storage. Now to check on the EOL date and if you can add ram to it or if everything is soldered. My bet is that its all soldered at this price point.
Might be the first 17" chromebook that I've seen, but its something I'd be interested in.
Also be a great machine for people who don't see as well as others (me!) with a decent sized screen and also good for people who aren't high tech or don't want to be a system administrator. Easy to manage remotely if you buy it for a friend or relative.
Edit: EOL June of 2029.
Everything appears to be soldered, although 8GB/128GB models are spec'd. Wifi 6. No HDMI port. A full size keyboard with number pad, which my older 15" chromebook doesn't have.
Price is right if someone needs one with a larger screen. If it had an N6000 instead of the N4500, or it had expandable ram...I'd get one. But I already have 3 recent 4GB/32GB chrome devices. If I get a new larger format one it'll have 8GB ram. I don't really care about storage...if you run out of 32GB on a chrome device and it isn't media on a cloud service or removable storage...you aren't really the right customer for a chromebook.
