This is a 13.3 inch Full HD + display with touchscreen functionality – It is also S Pen compatible. This Chromebook is powered by an entry-level Intel Celeron chip, or you can upgrade to a 10th generation Intel Core i3-10110U which clocks at 2.1GHz with Turbo Boost up to 4.1GHz.
Total product weighs 2.72 lbs and measures 12 x 8 x 0.55 ”. There is a headphone jack and two 5W speakers. There is a 720P web camera for conference calls, and the graphics are powered by Intel and support an external 4K monitor.
