This was posted before and quickly sold out. Sold and shipped by bestbuy (not marketplace)
I received mine, installed Windows 11 on it and couldn’t be happier, this thing flies
Really impressed with the battery life (easily over 10 hours watching youtube videos). Large touchpad, great screen, 8th gen intel CPU has support for all the common codecs. Good metal build quality
Has USB-C ports on either side which can be used for charging. Wifi is 802.11ac. Has SD card reader and a full-size USB port
It is a 2-in-1 so can be used as a tablet (keyboard is disabled when screen is rotated and windows goes into “Touch” mode)
Cons:
Non-upgradeable RAM and hard-drive (though you can use a high-endurance SD card for added storage)
Installing Windows requires removing the back panel temporarily to unplug the battery
Speakers are a bit weak
For installing Windows follow the stey-by-step guide here: https://coolstar.org/chromebook/windows-install.html
There’s a great “windows on chromebook” community on reddit and a very active discord
For audio to work I had to install the KBL drivers from here: https://www.reddit.com/r/chrultrabook/c … his_first/
