panel is 250 nits 45% ntsc :/ workable/fine for most but my personal minimum is 300.

altho googling about it i did find this fwiw

"The first thing I noticed about the Plus CX34's 1080p display is the brightness level. Normally, I like to bump the brightness up on laptops because I'm a goblin in a human suit and I like to operate in darker environments. However, the display on this particular machine is very bright, even when it's at 50 percent. It definitely seems brighter than Asus' reported 250 nits. It's not ideal for outdoor use, but that's not really a deal-breaker for me. "

Grabbed it for the 8gb ram and backlit keyboard. Don't need touchscreen or 360 "tablet" mode on a Chromebook this size.

Thanks!! I was able to get it for $215.45 - with 5% redcard, 10% circle offer on electronics and 10% military! My kids' Toshiba Chromebook 2 is in rough shape and stopped getting updates a year ago.

Which 10%? The 10% off electronics or the 10% military? For the military discount I had to provide discharge month/year from DD214. Then I had to go to Circle and find the discount to add it to my cart.

The electronics discount, I noticed my target account had it but my wife's does not. I feel like I often get these "select accounts" discounts because I don't shop at target often, but my wife shops there all the time so they don't have to entice her with deals.

I had a similar Chromebook a year ago. Roblox didn't play as well as I'd hoped.
This should play the chrome version of Minecraft once that launches.
However, both of these work better on a Windows computer from my experience. If you have the budget, an entry level or used gaming computer or laptop may be a better choice.

Sure, in bright sunlight you may need a bright display to distinguish what's on it.

But, in darkness, why in God's name do you want a bright display?!!! Confused

Yeah, I never use the touchscreen or tablet mode. Tablet mode is really awkward, I feel.

Loved my Toshiba 2 (2015), bought one for my dad, too. Replaced them with the Asus 433 last year?

I'm glad there's no card slot or I'd really be tempted to buy another Chromebook that I don't need. Will be watching for any deep discounts this holiday season though. Also watching to see if there's any downside to the UFS storage.

I'd be interested in what owners think of the trackpad and its smoothness. Got spoiled by the HP x360 gen 8. The Asus 433 is not bad either but slightly less impressive.
