    • The apps are buggy and some fail to display key features
    • I do have one (super minor) issue with the sealing of the bottom aluminum sheet, so I just ordered a replacement, but honestly, at this stage I think I would rate the HW as top notch (given the price point)- Software "bugs" (e.g. android apps not always working perfectly...

    • I play Lichess, and while the game plays fine, the text still stays mobile-sized, making the app feel like vast stretches of the plains; it just goes on forever

    • Still waiting for good pen apps and some Android apps don't work very well, but others, especially video streaming apps, work great!
    • The Android apps work very well too.
    • The Chromebook is packaged with a fairly simple (though very awesome) drawing app that takes advantage of the screen and pen's pressure sensitivity that really shows off what could be done with this device

    • Every android app runs terribly and freezes continually
    • Google's SMB app doesn't display thumbnails in remote shares, and when copying large files (or many smaller files), it fails partway through
    • Grab a file manager, use the google file manager to download your game saves/documents/data files from your favorite apps, dump em in the downloads folder via the chrome files app, then use an android file manager to move them around as needed or transplant them into the file folder present in the root of your android install

    • I installed a few of my favorite Android apps, including the ones that inspired the purchase of this computer - Autodesk Sketchbook and Corel Painter Mobile
    • Keep in mind that not all apps are trustworthy as there isn’t much of a security layout in the app world.
