I have this exact laptop - I just use it for casual web browsing, but it does have a significant problem that I've encountered - although it has a 3.5mm stereo port, it's unusable due to static sounds.
Possibly this bug that's been floating around for the past 6 years: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/172339479
It's probably simply defective, I would warranty/replace it.
