However, after putting it in the bag and having it by my side for real-world work, I have no issue saying that this is my favorite Chromebook ever made.

I Enjoyed This Budget 2-in-1 Laptop More Than the Premium Options – By Tim Rattray How-To Geek
The design may look budget, but the quality of the 2-in-1 implementation outdoes more expensive competitors.
