I have to admitn I was a bit skeptical when I initially purchased this device. It all seemed too good to be true, the design, features, and performance promised all with such a wallet friendly price tag didn't seem possible. I am pleased to report however that every promise was fulfilled and i couldn't be more happy with my purchase.
Pros: Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!

If you looking for a device that does everything a PC does, this is not what you want. I needed a small travel friendly device that was able to get in the internet for work for quick access to Drive and the web. This is perfect I don't need to stream music or videos just spreadsheets and documents. and for the cost its a better option than a tablet
I don't have a problem with chromebook. I just wished the printer was able to connect through bluetooth.
Pros: Inexpensive
Cons: need bluetooth printing

If you're NOT in need of a full-blown laptop and are using the device as an enhanced tablet with many more features, it is an outstanding value. The OS is adding more apps daily and there are all manners of temporary "workarounds" available on YouTube or forums. It auto updates the OS, every time you log-in via Wi-Fi.
Pros: Inexpensive, Bright display, Durable, Lightweight, very long battery life, tethers to my iphone 6+ and galaxy note
I would recommend this to a friend!

Perfect School Computer

I have had this computer for now over a week to supplement my bigger and heavier Samsung Series 7 17.3" Laptop and I have found this little guy to be well worth it. It flies through most tasks you're going to assign it to do with 4GB of Ram. I usually run a few apps at once and it doesn't even flinch. I am a senior in college and use this to take notes and track my schedule. It really is slick to not have to lug around my old computer. I recommend using Google Docs feature for those of you that want to be able to write notes/papers and convert them into Microsoft Word or PDFs later on a larger scale laptop. The laptop is a solid design and feels pretty rugged as far as hinges and poking the screen go (it's not a touch screen but I have poked it to get dust off the screen). The AirDroid App is awesome as you can work on your phone without actually needing to pull it out, perfect for trying to stay in touch with people or needing to stay awake in class. If your a youtube person this guy can pull up videos in a heartbeat with fast connections of course. There are a few things that I have found that I don't exactly like but they are minor. The track pads clicking ability feels like I will break it if I push down much more then a brush, but I have learned to just use the tap feature to overcome that. Next a few of the apps in their store don't work with the machine. To give an example Pandora for me would download but then crash every time I tried to open it. Keep in mind this was the app not just regular Pandora off of the Internet which works just fine. Lastly the speakers do a good job but aren't in the best position in my opinion being on the bottom of the machine, however if your looking for something to be a stand alone DJ system why would you look into a Chromebook? The speakers will do just fine for most peoples needs such as studying or background noise. Other then those three issues this Chromebook is quite the machine for what it can do.
I was skeptical when I first saw a commercial abour this laptop, but after extensive web search and evaluation of the pros and cons I decided to buy it. Now after almost a year of my purchase I am still very satisfied with this laptop. There's nothing that I can't do in it, but the best for me is that you don't have to be buying programs and licenses, it will be just updates and voila! you are working with the latest and greatest versions of everything. I totally recommend it. In a while I will buy another one.
I bought this because I needed internet access and a larger screen than my phone but didn't want the bloat or expense of a laptop or desktop. It has worked great for what I do. The screen could be better but for the price it is fine.
Pros: Inexpensive, Built-in speakers, Lightweight
Cons: screen doe not look good from any angle other than
