Lyrics, both rapped and sung, were comprehensible, but background music and the ensemble were muted and muddy. While listening to "Ten Duel Commandments" and "Satisfied" from the Original Broadway Cast recording of "Hamilton," I discovered that the 100S wasn't a great way to showcase the best American musical in recent memory. They send sound down and toward your lap, table or desk and away from you, so the audio becomes less clear as the volume increases. The Lenovo 100S Chromebook produces hollow, tinny sound from two small speakers on the bottom of the laptop.
The 100S also reproduces just 57.5 percent of the sRGB color gamut, whereas the X205TA and the Stream 11 reproduce 64 percent and 68 percent, respectively. They all fall below the ultraportable category average of 294.7 nits. I wish the display were brighter, but at 244 nits, it's still higher than the screens on the HP Stream 11 (165 nits) and the Asus EeeBook X205TA (217 nits). Large amounts of detail, like the wrinkles in Rey's robes, were lost at 45 degrees to the left or right. The display as a whole is a bit washed out, especially at wider viewing angles. When I watched the trailer for Star Wars: The Force Awakens, I could see the sweat and grime on Finn and Rey's faces following action in the desert but missed some of the colors and details on the Millennium Falcon and X-Wing fighters.
The Asus Chromebook Flip, a Chromebook with a 10-inch touch screen that flips back into a tablet, has a resolution of 1200 x 800 pixels. The Dell Chromebook 11, the EeeBook X205TA and the Stream 11's screens are the same size and resolution. The 100S' 11.6-inch, 1366 x 768-pixel resolution is par for the course on budget notebooks. Clicks registered better on the bottom half of the touchpad than on the top half, leading to an annoying number of unresponsive clicks until I finally adjusted to only pressing the very bottom. The buttonless touchpad is accurate but requires a fair amount of force to click. On the 100S, however, my error rate hit 4 percent, compared to my usual 1 or 2 percent. Using, I was able to keep up the same typing speed I do on a Dell office keyboard: roughly 100 words per minute. Everything is just the tiniest bit cramped in the 11-inch body, but it's still serviceable. On the bright side, there's almost no flex - something we often experience on cheaper notebook keyboards.
