Cons Trackpad is easy to activate by accident Number pad makes the keyboard placement off-center Mediocre speakers and webcam Display aspect ratio is wider than I’d like And if you have a recent Android phone, ChromeOS has a pretty robust feature set when you pair it to your Chromebook, including shared notifications and streaming of some apps directly to your laptop. In addition to the “help me write” tools and suggestions that show up when you tap the Quick Insert key, Gemini is a click away with an app shortcut in the toolbar by default.
