Do not buy this with the sole intention of gaming on it. Yes it's good for cloud gaming. Yes it's good to run Android games. And yes, it's good for light Steam games if you know how to enable it. Any other device is good enough for cloud gaming. Your phone, a handheld, your blood pressure machine, etc. I notice a lot of people buying it because of its price point and expecting a little bit too much in terms of gaming in my opinion. But I solely blame the marketing for this.Ignoring the gaming aspect, this is probably the best lite productivity laptop I've owned in a while. It's one of the few Chromebooks on the market with specs that don't suck. I don't need to do anything like video or photo editing. I just needed something to carry around, connect to the internet, and get some light work done. I bought this from Amazon Warehouse in Used - Acceptable condition and it looked like it was brand spanking new.Chromebooks have earned a bad rep for its starting price point and under powered specs. But this laptop for me has changed that. Core i5 mixed with this lightweight operating system and 16GB of RAM with a (seemingly) replaceable M.2 drive ensures that I could get the most out of this purchase and it looks like the software support last until 2031. The build quality (in my opinion) is too good to be a Chromebook. It doesn't get hot but the fan is a bit loud even when there's no heavy load but that doesn't bother me. Battery life is OK. I say about 6 to 8-ish hours depending on the use case. Documents, normal web browsing, etc. Anything with video, you'll get significantly less on battery. Display is....there and that's the nicest thing I can say about it. Ghosting even with this 144hz display is an issue and is made worse when on battery (provided that you're using Energy Saver in Chrome). Keyboard is fine to type on but know that the layout is not a traditional Windows layout. You have no caps lock, scroll lock, num lock, F-keys, and no media keys. It looks like it's made with ChromeOS in mind. All the other typical keys are exactly where they are supposed to be but if you attempt to load Windows on this laptop (I heard that's possible with a workaround), you may lose functionality with the touchpad and keyboard which is a shame in my opinion in case of the potential chance that Google may one day stop supporting ChromeOS. It would be nice if there was a way forward to load this laptop with something else in the event that something like that would happen. May never happen but you never really know.In conclusion, I love this laptop. Not because of gaming. But because it has specs that don't suck for a Chromebook. I think something like this could really set the bar for Chromebooks in general if they market it as a "premium" Chromebook and lower the MSRP. I would not pay the asking price of $700 for it which is why I'm glad I went through Amazon Warehouse for $316. If you can nab one for the same price or wait for another sale like during the holiday season, I can highly recommend this Chromebook 100%. Hopefully, I can say the same thing after a month or so.
