What's great about it: Small and light, long battery life, no fan noise.
What's not so great: Still need a PC for heavy duty applications, no keyboard backlight.
This is a really great value as a casual use computer. I purchased it just to learn what Chrome OS is all about, never thinking I'd use the machine so much. But it's really great for relaxing at night while web browsing and handling email.
Although I have a lightweight ultrabook, I find myself choosing this Chromebook every single night. It's very comfortable, the battery lasts a long time, and this particular Chromebook uses an ARM processor, which means it doesn't need a noisy fan like Intel or AMD based laptops do.
You can't use heavy applications on this, although apps are getting better on the Chrome store. There are lots of cloud based services too.
It's built pretty well, although the display is not as clear as that of my ultrabook. But come on, what do you want for such a low price? Buy this.
This product is... A touch pad that works great, A nice compact size, easy to set up
About me... Budget Conscious, Basic web surfing & emails, Parent with kids, Technology guru, Social media enthusiast, Business Professional, Comfortable with technology
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Small, light, fast, quiet, inexpensive
What's not so great: Limited to online cloud services for the most part
I got this Chromebook from Best Buy on 7/15/13. I like it. It's small, light, and fast, like my ultrabook. But it's really inexpensive and much better made than a netbook. You need to be online to do almost anything with a Chromebook, and you can't install programs -- everything is web-based, "in the cloud."
This Samsung model uses an ARM processor, like the chip in your smartphone. That means it doesn't need a noisy fan, like Intel and AMD processors in Windows and Mac machines, and battery life is great. Google has some decent "apps," and even Microsoft cloud services (e.g., SkyDrive) seem to work. But again, you need to be connected to WiFi.

What's great about it: Great bang for the buck.
What's not so great: Must be careful with blade screen. Have to buy both blade & screen if screen breaks.
It has the basic features -- beard shaver and trimmer -- and shaves well. It's durable, but there's the usual problem found with many/most foil covered blades: The foil is delicate, and breakage means buying both the blade and the foil cover. But overall it's a great value.

very slow in opening webpages

my chrombook needs a very long time to open websites
My Chromebook opens web pages very quickly. But I read a review claiming it can get slow if you have too many tabs open.
