The packaging was significantly environmentally friendly and contained the essentials like the Chromebook Plus, Charger, User Guide & Warranty Guide.
Setup was relatively easy and already being heavily invested in the Google ecosystem after entering credentials all the rest was a walk in the park.
The performance has been very good with a decent battery life. I already had a Penoval USI 2.0 Stylus Pen for the Pixel Tablet and this also works with the Chromebook Plus and apps like Google Keep, Cursive and Nebo work really well with no pen pairing required.
Have been utilising a connection to a Logitech MX Master 3 Mouse , Logitech MX Keys Keyboard and a Dell Ultra sharp U3415W Widescreen Monitor via a Lenovo ThinkPad Dock and the unit has performed extremely well.
For anyone who also uses a Windows Laptop I would highly recommend going into Settings\Device\Touchpad and switching on the "Enable Reverse Scrolling". If just using Chromebooks then you can get used to it but having the Scrolling go in the opposite direction of the standard windows touchpads Its much easier to keep them consistent.
The unlock with a nearby phone is extremely useful so being able to just use face recognition or fingerprint on a Pixel to unlock the Chromebook removes the need to have to type unnecessary passwords or pins.
I would highly recommend these units for people invested into the Google Ecosystem with Email, Photos, Contacts, Calendar, Drive, Music, Notes, Passwords etc.. or people who predominately just need to use web mail and browser based apps.
