I'm surprised that Anand didn't mention anything about the trackpad. The Verge's impression is that it's pretty terrible:

"The trackpad, on the other hand, is pretty bad. It’s sticky and plastic, and doesn’t allow your finger to glide smoothly at all; my fingers jittered around as I tried to move the cursor, and the screen jittered even worse as I tried to scroll with two fingers or pinch to zoom on the screen. It’s a frustrating change from the smooth, responsive Chromebook Pixel, which got all this right — and had a touchscreen too, just in case. Of course, the Pixel is also six times the price."

He did make one comment in the summary:

"and even the clickpad isn’t as bad as it is on far more expensive PCs."

Not sure what to read into that.

yeah, i was looking for his take on this. if it's anything like The Verge's account, it's a dealbreaker.
