it is a 2-in-1
it is a touchscreen
it does have backlit keyboard
nice processor, much better than my MT8183 speed wise
Sharp screen, bright (300 nits but seem brighter), shows as 1980x1200 native resolution, glossy but OK.
Noticeably heavier than Lenovo, but more solid too.
8GB RAM is awesome for Chrome... Solid. No crashes/hangs. (Old Lenovo/4GB/MT8183, not so much.)
128GB NVMe drive (better than built-in, IMHO)
Camera, OK. Bluetooth, OK. Speakers good, but downward facing, so you can't really hear how good they are. Meh.
Does have a cooling fan, but (a) very quiet, and (b) not used much/high
Running crouton with full Linux (Ubuntu, Thunderbird, LibreOffice) , so Intel based CPU is a plus for coding/debugging vs ARM
Currently streaming baseball in one Chrome window, casting to TV, 15 tabs open in another Chrome window and fan is 23% with CPU temp at 90F, so no problem at all.
Overall I would suggest that your specific use case would best be matched to a platform that is easily expanded to meet your particular demands. Sadly this isn't typically a chromebook, since few offer user-accessible RAM. And rather than shopping for a premium chromebook to meet your requirements, a Windows laptop with a decent CPU (perhaps what you already have? Really any relatively modern 4-core i-series model), expandable memory (16GB minimum, but I'd daresay 32GB to be safe) and a speedy SSD could meet the challenge you've set up.
Of course, there's no reason you have to run Windows. I'm simply suggesting that chromebooks, coming in essentially fixed configurations, might not (without some tweaking) be a solution targeted at very specific, demanding needs.
Good luck!

Weighs 3.97 lbs. and measures 0.82" thin
Ultrathin and ultralight for maximum portability, featuring a smaller screen size and omitting the DVD/CD drive to achieve the compact form factor. Lithium-polymer battery.
3.97lbs as ultralight might be a stretch even 5 years ago.
