512GB x4 NVME drive so storage is plenty fast. And chargable USB-C ports on BOTH SIDES so charging is simple and not cumbersome unlike my work laptop which has both on the same side (and only one supports charging).
This is supported by Coreboot for loading alternate operating systems. Mint runs flawlessly, although I did have to apply the audio fix (which was fixed by running a bash script).

EDIT - this newer model (with the n355) is NOT YET SUPPORTED on Coreboot. It's probably just a matter of time. My apologies for not remembering/recognizing this out of the gate. That said, the 2 devices are almost identical save for the main processor. The newer model benches around 10% faster than the old so not a dramatic speed boost.

The description on Costco says it has a backlit keyboard.?

Had this for about a year and love it. Only wish it had a backlit keyboard.

-Just got back from testing in-store, confirmed backlit keyboard, bought two but won't open for a bit most likely.

the only noticeable flaw is the speakers are pretty bad. The tablet style Lenovo duet 9 Chromebook has significantly better sounding speakers.
not a big deal, but definitely use headphones if you want any semblance of good audio.
