What's great about it: Now has 8.5 hour battery and Bluetooth 4.0 (Supports Audio)
What's not so great: Limited Flexibility
This chromebook is great for the money and the new model is a great deal because of the upgrade to a 8.5 hour battery life, bluetooth that supports audio, and a great keyboard. I wanted something I could simply use to surf the internet and not be tied to wires etc while still being portable. An ipad obvisously has more power and capability but you really are going to pay through the nose for it while still most users do mostly internet browsing. For $200 it's hard to walk away from this deal given it has everything most users need on a daily basis to do the basics. In my opinion it is comparable to a macbook air 11" but a fifth the cost. I'm an apple fan, but I really think for the smaller macbook air and ipads you pay a premium for a product that is still limited to larger macs and other pcs. Obviously the chromebook is more limited but packs in all the important things most consumers need to make it a great value worth picking up. To wrap up I was stand offish of these because they still lacked the battery life, bluetooth, and usb 3.0. This brand new model now has all those things which I think make it much more usable and convenient.
This product is... Good sound quality, A nice compact size, easy to set up, lightning fast
About me... Budget Conscious, Basic web surfing & emails, Technology guru, Social media enthusiast, Comfortable with technology
I would recommend this to a friend!

What's great about it: Excellent Bass when properly sealed in ear
What's not so great: Dogs likes to eat them, so be careful everyone
I have always owned Shures and swear by them! They just get better and better. The bass and overall sound on these are excellent. They are worth every penny and I have no idea why they stopped carrying them in stores. I use these to workout and everything else, they never hurt and always stay in. I can't imagine a better product. Give them a try and I don't think you will be disappointed. PS I can't imagine the Bose being any better than these. I have other Bose products, but these are the answer for in ear headphones.
Best Uses: When I travel, Gym / Working Out, At home
I would recommend this to a friend!
Type of Listener:Avid listener

Best laptop for 9 year old
My 9 year old wants a laptop for Christmas - he doesn't like the netbooks, so that is out of the question. I don't have a lot of money to spend so I want to get something that's decent for what he needs/wants, but isn't going to break the bank.
He loves to play Roblox and Minecraft and watch Youtube videos. But I'd also like this to be something he'd be able to end up using for school projects, etc.
Any suggestions?

This is excellent for the internet and school work, but not much anything else. I stress it does those 2 things very well and includes the google office software for schoolwork etc. If you're looking for a little more flexibility for gaming on a tight budget....look at the ASUS Memo Pad HD 7 tablet. It's really a great deal for $149, sometimes can be found for as low as $129. IT has a quad-core processor, good screen quality, and nice battery life. Obviously it's not an ipad, but it's also 1/3 the cost.

Is this notebook upgradable to 4-8GB memory? How about 16GB SSD? Also upgradable?
No it's not upgradable, but they do sell a model with 4GB for $50 more I personally don't think it's needed or worth the extra cost. You do get 2 years free 100GB on Google Drive with this. Also it has an SD slot, a 2.0 usb, and a 3.0 usb where you could connect additional storage. Personally though this is a kick a** cheap laptop that does one thing well and that's anything that starts with www. at the top of your screen.
