In addition, it's equipped with integrated Intel Iris Xe graphics that can run at up to 1.2GHz, giving you plenty of overhead to play around with should you want to enjoy some games (it'll even work with the Steam beta on ChromeOS). It has two Performance cores, eight Efficient cores, and 12 total threads, with a Turbo that can hit 4.4GHz for brief sprints. Intel's 12th Gen Core processors launched in 2022, and though 13th Gen Intel hardware is now available, the Core i5-1235U in my review unit puts out a ton of performance. I can appreciate the system's overall snappy feel. And if you're coming from another ChromeOS device, you shouldn't find many surprises. It wasn't nearly as much of a transition as I expected - no doubt aided by the fact that a lot of work is handled through Google Workspace - and I've been able to accomplish all work, including word processing, photo editing, heavy web browsing, and video conferencing without any issues or hiccups.

Coming from a Windows-centric workflow, I found switching to ChromeOS for a couple of weeks interesting.
