Product Information

CPU: Info: Dual Core model: Intel Core i5-2520M bits: 64 type: MCP arch: Sandy Bridge rev: 7 cache: L2: 3 MiB Granted, I don't have a lot added to it. My Manjaro is just to play with and get some knowledge with an Arch-based distro. Yes, it's possible. My Manjaro Xfce virtual machines is set with 32 GB of disk space. Gparted states that It takes up 10.5 GB.

The palmrests and touchpad are cooler than skin temperature with a maximum of 29.7 °C / 85.5 F and are therefore cool to the touch.Accessing the laptop's innards is quite easy. After releasing 7 screws on the underside, the base tray can be removed with a thin putty knife. However, it would only be necessary to open the casing to replace a defective battery, which is easily done. Easy to hear: Whether they are watching a presentation, chatting with a classmate or playing music to inspire, the dual-array microphones and front-facing speakers make it easy to hear and be heard. Audio: Device-1: Intel 82801AA AC97 Audio vendor: Dell driver: snd_intel8x0 v: kernel bus-ID: 00:05.0 chip-ID: 8086:2415 How does this adequate performance translate to benchmark results? Compared to competitors, the Chromebook 11 offers middling performance on tests like WebXPRT 3, CrXPRT, JetStream 2, and PCMark for Android. That's exactly what we expect from a Chromebook at this price. (See more about how we test laptops.)

Device-2: Intel 82371AB/EB/MB PIIX4 ACPI type: network bridge driver: piix4_smbus v: N/A port: d200 bus-ID: 00:07.0 Not easy to do and not nice. Thankfully these more or less unsolvable problems are rare nowadays. But they're not non-existent.

Rugged Inside and Out

The Chromebook 11 is also available in a 2-in-1 convertible version, which lets you rotate the screen 360 degrees to use it as a tablet. However, if you think your kids will primarily be using their Chromebook as a tablet, you may want to go with the detachable Lenovo Chromebook Duet instead.
