The 500e isn’t the most aesthetically pleasing Chromebook we’ve tested, but it’s a solid performer that should survive a fair amount of abuse. The stylus is a nice addition, and the bevy of ports will prove very useful. We’d prefer a tighter feel in the keyboard, and maybe a slightly lower price, but the 500e delivers well on many levels.
