When you open the device, the display is the first thing that catches your eye. In return, the hinge allows an opening angle of up to 180°. Unfortunately, this pulls down the otherwise good quality a bit because it occasionally creaks when opening and closing the display. For this reason, the Chromebook is very quiet, with only a rare, slight coil whine marring the picture. The device does not need them because the CPU is cooled passively. The two loudspeakers are also located there. The underside is conspicuously empty: Four rubber feet give the notebook the necessary stability. The device can also be charged via both ports. Nevertheless, both USB-C ports can be used for image output, provided a suitable adapter or monitor is installed. The port variety is thus okay, but an HDMI port would have been a desirable addition. The right side also has a Kensingston Lock and another USB-C and USB-A port each. They do not lead to injuries, but they feel a bit uncomfortable.Ī USB-C and USB-A port, the microSD reader and the jack are on the left side of the device. The case is well workmanship, but the edges are a bit sharp in parts.

In addition, a dark gray “Chrome” lettering and a colorful, somewhat out-of-place Chrome logo make it clear which operating system is used. The lid of the device is adorned by an Acer logo.
