What's great about it: Built-in LTE
What's not so great: SLOOOOW; Requires Reboot to switch Mobile/WiFi connections
Wife needed to replace her old netbook to use for work. Majority of the time she connects via RDP to access her desktop. She paired the Netbook with a Verizon Jetpack hotspot.
While this worked reasonably well, the Netbook was getting very slow after moving to Windows 7, and the hotspot battery barely lasted 90 minutes - not to mention carrying the additional gadget around.
Chromebook with LTE seemed like an ideal replacement.
In hindsight, it's just so-so
Pros:
LTE built-in - Ditch the extra hotspot, connect wherever, whenever
Compact - Reasonably light, definitely small form factor
Cons:
Cost - Since she already had Verizon, there was no $100 discount
Performance - Tests show this is one of the slowest Chromebooks available (June 2014)...definitely noticeable when surfing heavy content. Forget about streaming video smoothly
Connectivity - Requires a reboot every time she switches from WiFi to LTE. On start up, you either choose LTE, or disable to use WiFi if available. When you need to switch back, HP forces you to reboot.
Bottom line - she's happy to have LTE built-in, but inconvenienced by rebooting all the time and limited video capabilities. Reluctantly purchased as this is the only LTE built-in Chromebook on the market now.
This product is... A nice compact size, easy to set up, compromise to get lte
About me... Parent with kids
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Does this laptop have a CD/DVD drive?

I'm been seeing lots of laptops with out the driver, I like to play the sims and or listen to CDs or watch a DVD on the computer. Main question is is there one cause I didn't see it in the photos.
no internal drive - this is a Chromebook, not a laptop
