Q: QuestionIs this actually SSD? The spec sheet from Lenovo seems to state that it's eMMC(2 answers)
A: AnswerTo be honest, I would recommend going with what the original OEM specs says rather than what Best Buy says. I've encountered way too many devices that claim an SSD is installed but the actual OEM sheet reports eMMC/flash storage.Answered by Poppo

Q: QuestionHow many nits of brightness on this screen?(4 answers)
A: AnswerI'm not sure why people are making up numbers for "Chromebook Plus standards", but more informed enthusiasts know the minimum 300 nit part is false. There's HPs with 250-nit displays that are Chromebook Plus models. Anyway, the display on this is indeed 300 nits and bright enough for most users.Answered by JasonGenova

A: AnswerThe 14 inch screen pixels per inch (ppi) is subtly better (2%) with the 16 x 10 aspect ratio of 1920 X 1200 vs. 16 X 9 ratio of 1920 X 1080. Still called FHD.Answered by Anonymous
Q: QuestionHow do I turn the keyboard backlight??(2 answers)
A: AnswerHold the [Alt] key and tap the screen brightness up/screen brightness down keys. Each press will increase/decrease the level of your keyboard backlight. This seems to be the standard for all Chromebooks.Answered by Kenough
Q: QuestionDoes Word run on this computer?(2 answers)
A: AnswerYou can’t install the Windows version of Word on this, or any other Chromebook. They don’t support Windows executable programs, i.e.: .exe files. However, you can use Word online in the browser with Microsoft 365.Answered by kevinctofel

Solid Purchase
I like this Chromebook Plus a lot. This is my first Chromebook, so I can't compare how well the Chromebook Plus performs vs Chromebooks. Pros: It boots up quickly and has nice features. The keys are backlit and feel good when typing on them. I appreciate the touchscreen and ability to turn it into a tablet when needed. The laptop is easy to set up and use. So far I have been able to use the laptop heavily for maybe 4 to 5 hours until needing to charge it. Cons: When opening the laptop the bottom of the screen bumps against the table. I've seen other laptops do this too. The Lenovo 7i laptops and newer are much smoother and don't do this. Another point is that sometimes the touchpad goes awry and seems like it's lagging. I like to browse with many tabs open, so I usually restart and make sure I don't have too many things (especially more demanding websites) open to resolve this.

Thought I got a laptop, but I got a tablet too!
I goofed not making sure it was a windows device, and the keypad doesn't always work right in all the spots. That bottom corner didn't work for a minute, then it did, but the right clicker really doesn't. Despite that it's still a fantastic product I'm happy with and don't regret buying! Cool thing, you can flip it like a tablet and it's fully touch screen all the time!

Great chromebook for most users
This Chromebook is really great. It has enough power to do all of the writing, browsing, and light gaming that I need to do. And it looks and feels great to use. I usually like the chromebooks without any fans for cooling, but I like the better performance that this Chromebook offers. You can see the vents on the bottom in my photos. Also, you can run Google play apps and Steam on this Chromebook. This opens up a lot more possibilities for productivity and gaming. Battery life is average, but that's only one of the few complaints that I have.
