As a note for those interested in switching a performance flag on this device, the Hyperthreading functionality will be turned off for security reasons [chromium.org] but can be enabled easily [google.com].
Good luck!

In contrast, the first generation Samsung Galaxy Chromebook was fanless.
I own both.
Good luck!

No lag on Roblox even with the combo attacks (which is important for it's intended use).
There appears to be an issue with Discord on this thing that I'm trying to resolve at the moment.
Can't believe how cheap these are. Great deal at sub-$200. Pretty good at $300 compared to others in the price range based on the specs.
btw, I paid $300 from Samsung like 3+ years ago. So, this feels like a lot for a 10th gen chip. The battery is still great though and I can get 4-8h out of it depending on what I am doing. Often, it feels like way more than that and can be if the screen brightness is lowered.
The touchpad has been pretty much broken for like 2 years though. So, YMMV as it seems others have found out. The touchscreen works fine for navigating around.
