I picked this up to have a "around the house" laptop that my wife and I could just pick up and use for a casual search or food / grocery order. So far this thing has more than done the task, so lets get into what makes it what it is. First of all; I have both the touch and non-touch models. I chose to use the touch model as my wife sometimes likes touch screens and for evaluation purposes I wanted to test "all of the features". Everything else between the two laptops is otherwise the same. Secondly; The performance is much better than I expected. I have dabbled in some ARM powered laptops/mini PCs in the past years and have always been disappointed in one way or another with the performance. That isn't the case with this laptop though; the performance is honestly on par with the Pixelbook Go, which is pretty amazing considering the price differential. Pages load fast and video playback works without dropped frames from major services. Videos start quickly and multiple tab browsing isn't detrimental. This is the first ARM device to do FishIE Tank w/ 500 fish and WebGL Fish Tank Demo with 1000 Fish, gets around 43fps on 5000 fish which is worlds better than a couple years ago. Overall CPU performance isn't far off of the SD845 from testing that I did myself before writing this review. Attached are some screenshots of the actual performance. Third; Battery life was astounding. Honestly I used this thing for about 5 hours straight with only around 30% battery left when I started.... it had about 5% left when I finally stopped using it but I was sufficiently impressed. I have a variety of other laptops and nothing gets battery life like this for my heavier multi-tab web browsing. Fourth; The screen is definitely mid-grade but that is to be expected at this price. The screen is bright enough and responsive enough for video playback and light gaming with streaming services (which it worked surprisingly well with). Color accuracy is okay and response time is also "okay". I say that because I have tons of experience with different screens from different places and on different tiers of devices. Considering the price tier while testing this; the screen is at least on par with most other devices in this class. Lastly; The speakers are "okay". While they are upward-firing and as such are not a problem when the laptop is sitting on my lap. They work well enough for regular videos, but they are lacking in bass and other midrange... they sound somewhat tinny especially at higher volumes. There is no comparison to something like the Pixelbook Go in this aspect.... So I didn't use this laptop very much for watching videos unless they were just informative videos. The volume also doesn't go high enough to really be able to use it in a large room with other background noise (like my exhaust fan over my range). However when the room isn't so loud, it works fine even in a bigger room. In a small room it can be loud, but it still sounds somewhat tinny. As a whole; this laptop has totally fit our needs as what we expected from it. It sits around the house and sometimes isn't used for a whole week and it is asleep so if I open the lid it just turns on instantly. There is a lot to be said about that because no other laptop does that including the pixelbook.... The value of this as an "around the house" laptop is quite high. With a good trackpad, pretty comfortable keyboard and great battery life tied to an affordable price (at the time of review) just makes it a hit out of the park win in my book. Of course some things could be better, but not really in this price tier...
