Even though they are labled as "Gamer" Chromebooks, this model and the Acer 516 GE are the best bang for buck general purpose Chromebooks you can get, when on sale.

At $230 refurb, this is 53% off the current MSRP new. A banger of a deal IMO.

I don't know much about the seller, so Amazon is the best bet.

If you buy this make sure to disable the following flag, to keep the screen running at 120hz when on battery mode

Why was this downvoted earlier ? CPU Benchmark rating of 3400 should be lightning fast on Chrome OS !

Indeed. This is a very powerful CPU for a Chromebook and 8GB is more than enough RAM.

Wonder if you can install linux on it / dual boot

Wonder if you can install a non emmc drive in it

Wonder if you can upgrade the memory to 16gb (doubt it but curious)

Buying the ebay version is a much better deal for the included 2 year warranty. The amazon version only has a 90 day warranty

8GB soldered memory, not upgradable
One M.2 2242 PCIe 4.0 x4 slot, supports M.2 2242 SSD or eMMC storage card (PCIe 1x1) . 2280 SSDs are more common / cheaper

Integrated Li-Polymer 71Wh battery
Max Battery Life
Google power load test: 12 hr
The battery capacity is above average, why still only 12h runtime?

Great price for this specs. But the non-touch display is the most critical drawback for me!

4-Zone RGB backlit keyboard
