What's great about it: FAST!, nice display, compact size, battery life, light weight, and did I mention FAST?
What's not so great: Lack of storage, and always needing an internet connection.
I'll admit it right off the bat, this laptop is very limited! you have limited storage (16 GB SSD), and the operating system is basically just Google's Chrome internet browser. This is no PC or Mac replacement laptop, but it can be a great tool! I used Google Drive before I got this Chromebook, so I knew that you can create documents, spreadsheets, and presentations for free online (I can't afford Microsoft Office). Because the OS is just a web browser, the computer turns on super fast! As soon as I press the power button, the system is on and stabilized; just start browsing! Again, since the OS is so small, leave your charger at home. The battery life is amazing with this system, PC's (As well as Macs and even iPhones and Androids) have a bunch of start up applications and background processes that can just drain your battery, not ChromeOS, it's just a web browser! One final thing that I think is worth mentioning, Chrome Remote Desktop! This is a FREE service Google has provided us with, that you would normally have to pay for using RealVNC or LogMeIn. This tool is so cool, you are able to control your home PC or Mac with your Chromebook from any remote location. Example, I was in class one day, and I forgot one of my presentations on my Mac at home. All I needed to do is use Chrome Remote Desktop to access my computer from home, upload it to my Google Drive, then it was instantly on my Chromebook in class!

What's great about it: Easy setup, compact size, built tough, and Mac compatible!
What's not so great: Some latency issues at first, but that was because of Garage Band on my Mac, easily fixed.
I only say this is great for beginners, because I'm new to the world of audio interfaces and sound recording. This might be a good product for advanced users as well, but I'm still learning. I really like the design of the instrument inputs, you can use either a mic cable or a 1/4 inch instrument cable in the same port; that's some good engineering design! I was going to get an M-Audio, but some of my recording friends said this one was better. This one is also nice because of the Phantom power. I have a mic that needs to be powered, and that power comes from this audio interface!

What's great about it: Size, HD Display, Speed, and Latest Version of Android!
What's not so great: Battery Life, and Touch response
I have always loved Android, so when I was looking for a tablet, I figured I should get an Android, and not an iPad. I was thinking about getting a Samsung, because I currently have a Galaxy S4 phone, but Samsung's version of Android is heavily themed and "Bloated" with system apps that can't be removed. I heard Nexus devices have a "Pure Android Experience" so I thought I should give it a try! I'm glad I did, because this is the fastest Android device I've ever used! This display, compared to my wife's iPad with Retina, is actually better in my opinion. I can zoom in on a website, and the text is still as crisp and clear as when you're zoomed out. The only bad part about this device, is that sometimes i need to tap a link more than once, before the touch responds to my tap.
This product is... easy to set up, lightning fast, Variety of apps available, A nice compact size, Sharp graphics, Easy to navigate, Great screen size, Comfortable to hold

What's great about it: Easy to setup!
What's not so great: Must have Smartphone, or Chrome browser to control.
This is an awesome idea! Google made it so you can turn any HDTV into a smart TV without the ridiculous price tag. I now have a Chromecast on all my TVs in the house.

I saw it in theatres and liked it a lot. I didn't know that the movie was based on a comic, but apperantly it is. It's a longer movie, but I don't see how anyone could possibly dislike this movie. There is a lot of action, you laugh at some parts, and it keeps you on the edge of your seat for a lot of the duration of the movie.

It's not working with Bluetooth
I've connected my galaxy S4 with a USB to my chrome book and I couldn't do ANYTHING. I tried connecting with Bluetooth and it would not let me transfer anything. This computer is annoying me
Google Search: 'Air Droid' then download the Air Droid app on your Galaxy S4. You can then transfer data over your Local Area Network.
