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!

To be clear, the problems I'm mentioning are not about the model for sale here, but rather its first edition, which is presumably a very similar build, though I don't have actual experience with it. Just something to consider and research. If my first edition didn't have the touchpad issues and the storage problem - then I would actually recommend it.
EDIT: I was able to find the fix after a bit of searching. https://imgur.com/a/GDZayv9
Again, as others have said, this is for the first gen of this chromebook, not the one posted by OP (which is the second gen version).

It's also interesting that I can have dozens of chrome windows open on my Chromebook without issue, yet a handful of chrome tabs on my windows PC can consume gigabytes of ram and bog it down significantly. However, might just be my configuration.
If you have an old laptop you want to breathe life into, you can install chrome os and try it here:

There are also some open source alternatives that, per reddit, have better driver/touch screen support, although I personally havent tried them.
