I even felt that switching to the tablet mode from the laptop was a bit slower for my liking. Running YouTube in the background and keeping several Chrome tabs open did decrease the pace of the laptop. I did not find any glitch or lag while doing these tasks, except for it being a bit slow. I used the laptop to do my basic work on it, like browsing the internet, Gmail, using YouTube, scrolling social media, shuffling between several Chrome tabs, attending video calls, among others. Though as you will lift the lid the laptop gets automatically on but yes it does take a few seconds for the laptop to respond.

Right from switching on the Chromebook, you need to wait for a few seconds. The Chromebook features a Intel Celeron N4500 processor paired with 4GB of LPDDR4X RAM and 128GB of eMMC 5.1 storage.

Even while using the laptop indoors, there was a need to increase the brightness to suit my eyes. Though I have been using Windows laptops for a long time, it was a bit difficult for me to adjust with the Chrome OS, but the touchscreen did help a lot in the process of adjusting. I liked watching YouTube videos, scrolling through social networking sites and even while using split screen the display did not bother me. The IdeaPad has an 11.6-inch HD touchscreen display with HD resolution.

Weighing 1.25 kg, the laptop is a bit heavy to hold while using it as a tablet, and for kids yes, it can hurt their shoulders. Though what I did not like is the fat bezels around the display and the overall weight of the Chromebook. Sadly, the keyboard does not support backlighting. The keyboard is accompanied by a fairly responsive touchpad. The keyboard is comfy as while typing the layout is spacious and there's ample feedback from the keys. The 11.6 inch HD display contains a camera in the middle with a shutter to protect your privacy.
