An excellent lightweight computer

I bought this in the US because, in Canada, we have a very small selection of Chromebooks available here. I also had to call Best Buy, to finish my on-line order because their order system would not not accept my address.
I chose this particular model because of the value for the hardware. It has a full 1080p HD screen and 4Gb of RAM (working memory), so more browser tabs can be open at once. The 16Gb of SSD storage is reasonable and, apparently, it can be replaced with a bigger one, with some fiddling.
This is my first Chromebook, so I am getting used to its limitations. However, I got a Google Voice number while in the US (it works outside of the US), so I'm happy. The ability to add basic utilities to Chrome, such as an editor or Hangouts, makes the platform useful day-to-day. Web browsing, banking, e-mail, all work as expected.
I would highly recommend a Chromebook to anyone who does the majority of their computer time on the web. This particular model has a great big screen if you want to use it for watching movies while travelling, etc., too.
