- keyboard is nice
- same screen as Swift 3
- Micro SD card is flush/recessed
- RAM was sufficient for chrome tasks
- Android apps are still hit or miss, mostly miss
- Linux on Chromebook works quite well and gives you access to tools you'd need for basic STEM-type courses, though not necessarily compiling software, probably not enough processing power.
