Contrary to a few comments above, the keyboard is backlit on this model. I recently bought one and can confirm. There's even customer photos on the bottom of the page showing the keyboard lit up.

Have you looked at the price of Chromebooks (and laptops) lately?

From my point of view, here's what this one has going for it:

8 GB is hard to come by in a Chromebook - I run lots of tabs AND crouton with full Linux on a 4GB MT8183 and do have occasional issues. And 8 GB would be a bare minimum for Windows anyway.
Ryzen 7320C is way better than MT8183C in benchmarks, and way way better than any Celeron (in my personal opinion, but I'm sure there's room for discussion on that but please, no flames)
2-in-1 for this price is a good deal
14" FHD screen is a good deal - many 2-in-1's only come with 11".
Who really needs Windows these days? I run OpenOffice in Linux, and MS Office online is free w/ educational account anyway if you need it.

Probably doesn't need 128GB for most people, but whatever.

Only thing I'd like to see is a back-lit keyboard, but not a deal breaker since it is a 2-in-1.

Quote from A2Zog :
Two questions: (1) how loud is the fan and (2) how bad is the reflective screen?
The fan is quiet. I don't hear it be honest and it does not run hot.

I haven't noticed any major reflection, to be honest until you asked. It's visible but I can tune it out.

Does anybody know of a compatible stylus? I bought one off Amazon that seemed likely to work based on how many other models it's compatible with (despite not listing this model, which no listings seem to), but no dice.

Edit: I found this one [amazon.com] mentioned on Reddit, and can confirm it works with this model (CM3401FF).
