Question... Can I install windows on this and give it to my kid to play Minecraft? He tells me some Minecraft requires windows PCs and he cannot join the games using android.
You can install roblox using Chrome OS. Lots of videos on you tube showing how to do this.
Got this for my aging mother. I like that i can access it remotely, add Duo, and use Google meet, games, etc. The touchscreen makes it easy for my mom to touch the icon rather than accidently tapping a mouse and opening a can of worms.

These are the official specs. The Best Buy specs are kinda sus like how they called the Processor an "MT8173c".
*Edit: Oh yea, can someone check out if the USBs are 3.1/3.2 or 2.0? Best Buy specs say the USBs are 3.1/3.2 while the official Lenovo sites say they're both 2.0 (Check the image at the bottom).
***Edit: I just realized. If there's only 1 USB-C port and the sole USB-C port is used for power or hdmi. ̶I̶ ̶g̶u̶e̶s̶s̶ ̶t̶h̶i̶s̶ ̶d̶e̶v̶i̶c̶e̶ ̶c̶a̶n̶'̶t̶ ̶b̶e̶ ̶c̶h̶a̶r̶g̶e̶d̶ ̶a̶n̶d̶ ̶h̶a̶v̶e̶ ̶a̶n̶ ̶e̶x̶t̶e̶r̶n̶a̶l̶ ̶d̶i̶s̶p̶l̶a̶y̶ ̶a̶t̶ ̶t̶h̶e̶ ̶s̶a̶m̶e̶ ̶t̶i̶m̶e̶.̶ Apparently, it can be charged and also have an external display by using a dongle that splits the USB-C port into multiple ports.

What's your use case? Is this a variation of RPi with a touchscreen?
I also bought this the last go around and mainly use for streaming video while working on my company computer. Installed a few games from the Play Store and all have worked great. Not slow at all and 4GB of RAM is more than enough for a Chromebook (so shutup you "WhAt R u GoInG tO dO wItH 4gB of RaM" people). Touch screen picture and response is outstanding for a $100 machine. Screen collects finger prints quickly.
I mainly bought because I had surgery on my left arm. Can minimally use it for the time being and rather drop this than my Samsung S8 Tab. Actually been a godsend because the screen is infinitely adjustable as compared to my Samsung folio case which only has three positions. Keyboard is decent, and folds out of the way for tablet use.
And no, I do not think Raspberry Pi is any how involved.

**Edit: Ok, so the USB-A and USB-C ports are both 2.0 based on the specs sheet
