Pros
Pro Great performance
With 4GB of RAM and an Intel Celeron CPU, the Thinkpad 13 offers pretty good performance for a Chromebook. The RAM allows for some multitasking and the CPU is good enough for most daily activities such as watching videos, editing documents, or browsing the web.
Pro Great build quality
Like most Thinkpads, the Thinkpad 13 feels like a strong and solid piece of hardware. The uniform black design gives it a business-like feel which makes it suitable for formal environments like offices or classrooms.
Pro The battery lasts almost a full day of work
A full battery charge lasts about 8-9 hours which should easily take you through a full day's work.
Pro Great trackpad
The trackpad is very accurate and responsive.
Pro Great for people who type a lot
Most Thinkpads have excellent keyboards and this Chromebook is no exception. The keys are slightly curved inwards to aid typing and there's a nice springiness to them. This makes it easy to type for long uninterrupted periods, making this Chromebook an excellent choice for people who need to type a lot.
Cons
Con A little heavier than competitors
At 3.2 pounds it's a bit heavier than most Chromebooks, however, it's still more portable than the average laptop.
Con The default screen is not as good as it should be
The default 1366×768 TN screen has a low resolution and isn’t very bright or color-accurate. Fortunately, for $50 more, you can get the version with an upgraded 1080p screen which has much better brightness and color accuracy.
