  Looks good on paper, not so much...
  Within 5 min of having this Chromebook I knew it had to go back. First off the moment I took it out of the package it had a noticeable rattle inside the device. There is a screw or something freely floating around Inside and causing this noise. Obviously for a new product that's unacceptable. And second... The item on paper seems perfect, 15in edge-to-edge screen with USB c-type and chrome os cool right? Well the screen resolution and quality is so beyond trash it's hard to believe it's real? Like..Your grandma's heart monitor has a better resolution screen.. overall much better options out there. Sadly can't recommend.

  Works well, but I do not understand the point of a Chromebook
  It's cheap. It works. But why does it exist? The screen is terrible. Bland and washed out. Low resolution. My 5-year old iPad had a better screen, was faster and better for browsing the web. There is a paltry 32GB of onboard memory. It's good enough for browsing the web. But so is an iPad which only costs a little more.I bought this primarily for browsing the web. Does an ok job, but not great: stutters some times when streaming Netflix for example. Doesn't play well with some websites (seems to be an insufficient RAM issue).You can't effectively run real apps on this. Only half-baked Chrome extensions. Yes, it's possible to install many Android apps. Some run well. Others are buggy. Most are slower than the same apps on a phone. They're tagged on like workarounds for the inherent issues presented by an very destitute operating system.Yes, it's also possible to run Linux apps on this. It took some fiddling, but it's doable. Except Linux apps for the most part look and feel like they did a decade ago when I was dabbling in them: like rough-edged poor man's versions of WIndows apps; only half-functional, either buggy or missing features, or with absolutely terrible user-interfaces created by amazing coding monkeys who have zero understanding of UI usability.I only paid 300$ for this. At that price, it's decent. Has a really good keyboard: clicky keys, short travel but very satisfying crisp feeling (no mushiness). The trackpad is also really good: responsive, quick. And sound (from the bottom-firing speakers or the 3.5mm jack) is also impressive: mostly for movies, but works really well for music too (it's clean and deep).While Chrome OS has some interesting advantages over an iPad (managing external drives for example), overall... why bother? For a little more money, you can buy a Core i3 PC with more storage and a "real" operating system (Windows) that does everything this Chromebook does and way more; or for nearly the same price, you can get an iPad which is a bett er entertainment solution and comes with access to excellent Google Office apps or the even better free Apple office apps.

  DO NOT BUY!
  Save yourself the headache and DO NOT BUY this garbage! I expected it to be lower quality just based on the price, but this thing is unusable! Says I'm out of range while I'm standing NEXT to the router. The interface is clunky and just horrible to use. It feels unfinished, and unrefined.

  Cheap and Effective Portable Computing
  I was looking for a daily use laptop computer with functions including Mi crosoft Office. This Chromebook delivers all I need and more, including freedom from the aggravation of a Windows OS. It's fast, instantly "on" and available for use, blazes through browser searches. The battery lasts all day. It's only downside is a screen that is fine but not quite HD. I would recommend it to anyone.

  Satisfaite
  Bon produit très facile à utiliser. Mes besoins sont assez sommaires (réseaux sociaux, recherches internet, divers applications comme la suite office, etc). Très leger et agréable à utiliser. Je n'aurais pu demander mieux à ce prix!
