Lenovo N20p Chromebook review

One disappointment was the sound quality from the laptop's tiny speakers. Located underneath the chassis, the speakers get some more breathing room in stand mode, where they actually project toward you. But, the sound was still tinny and somewhat lacking bass, which seems to be a norm for small laptops. This was particularly a letdown for this system given the N20p lends itself to video watching, but the audio hardware just doesn't match up.

The 34.8-watt-hour battery life is good, as promised (8 hours). After heavy and extended use both for business and leisure activities, the battery life lasted anywhere from 6-8.5 hours. The internal battery allows for a slimmer design, which makes the slate gray device sleek and easily portable.

Connectivity

It's obvious Lenovo spared no expense in terms of connectivity - and it shows. The N20p features Bluetooth 4.0, as well as 802.11ac WiFi to match. This means this laptop focuses to boost video conferencing and other more intense tasks through the latest WiFi standard. Its predecessors, like the ones from Acer, attempt to do so through the Core (Acer specifically updated to the first Core i series-equipped Chromebook). But, since the Chrome OS relies so heavily on an internet connection, AC networking gives the N20p the edge.
