A pretty good deal, I enjoyed my Duet 5, and I would rather have this than any other competing budget Android tablet. Desktop Chrome counts for a lot, and while 1080p isn't the sharpest on a screen this big it's still a pretty good screen. Hard to get an OLED panel at this price, and quad speakers too. Included keyboard/track pad is pretty decent as well, and the battery life is outstanding.

If your computing needs are basic (web browsing, emails, video streaming) or you need a cheaper secondary device, this will do nicely.

Add something and use amex offer for 25 off 250 if you still have. Debating to get this and some other things saved in cart now since it is about to expire.

Got one last year to try out ChromeOS. In short it's falling behind iPad/Android Pad in many ways. Wouldn't recommend it for primary tablet at home. Better get an iPad 9 at this price range.
On the other hand with detachable keyboard, it can deal with some lightweight work in lieu of laptop. Some office work done by G Suite.
The OLED screen isn't impressive either. Still feels laggy comparing with my iPad Pro at 60Hz (turned off 120Hz ProMotion to save battery). Did pretty well in movie playback though due to 16:9 ratio, if you can bear with a little bulky 13 inch tablet.
Currently this Chromebook sits on my coffee table used daily just for Chrome Cast. Much more convenient than a laptop.

depends on what u use it for. i use it was a laptop it is light weight for its size and in nyc weight is important.
it is heavy compared to tablets maybe coz it is a laptop but it will be similar to the up coming ipad with m2 which will be a laptop /tablet
it has great battery life and at home i hook it to TV to work as display with remote KB it works great in that arrangement .
i can use it to code and even create apps which i dont think can be used for development
