I tested out Asphalt 8 and the graphics looked incredible with very minimal stutter. Thanks to the Google Play store, you can also install many Android games on the Chromebook. I had 10 websites open on different tabs with a YouTube video playing in the background and the machine was still performing great. The unit also includes 4GB of RAM which some might consider too low for a Windows 10-based machine, but seems to be just fine with Chrome OS. Opening tabs and web pages is fast and responsive. The i3 processor definitely makes a difference in the general 'snappiness' of the machine. Video playback, such as Netflix, looks great and playback is smooth, making this machine perfect for loading up offline Netflix shows for a long plane ride. The display also rotates all the way back, so you can hold the Chromebook in tablet mode or prop it up in 'tent' mode for movie watching. The display is a touchscreen, so you can use it for interacting with apps, or using the included stylus for drawing. However, the screen is shiny and will definitely show glare from any light behind you, which is something to keep in mind if you plan to use this Chromebook outdoors. Colors are sharp and the IPS display looks great from different angles. The 14-inch display is ample without making the Chromebook overly large.

The keyboard is also backlit, which makes late night typing much easier. On the bottom is a built-in holder for the included stylus. On the outside of the unit are 2 USB Type-C port on either side of the laptop, a USB 3.0 port and headset jack on the left side and a Micro SD card slot on the right side. The Chromebook does seem oddly heavy, so I can't see myself using it in tablet mode (keyboard folded behind the screen) for long periods of time. It definitely does not fall into the ultra-book category, but the aluminum exterior makes this unit feel very sturdy and durable. Probably one of the first things you'll notice about this Chromebook is that it is somewhat thick.
