Largely performance is ok, until you have more than 7 or 8 tabs open. Chromebooks in general need to start having a 4GB of RAM as the minimum instead of 2GB. It this was done, they would be the perfect computer for light computing and web browsing. ***I would give this 5 stars for value if the product had 4GB minimum. The light form factor, reasonably good keyboard & touchpad, and LTE make for a nice mobile computer that is great for traveling or couch surfing.

First it is a chromebook, with that said it does have its limitations, but with those limitations there are benefits. It does not use windows but google chrome OS so it is faster by far but they are still adding apps meaning a lot is left that you can't do. The charging cord is a micro USB so it bends and breaks easy but that said you can use your phone charger (android) to charge the laptop. With all that said it is amazing, the perfect size, super light weight and honestly we use it more then the other laptops. Just remember there are limitations to what you can and can't do (do a web search for more info) but for the most part works perfect. I would recommend for anyone.

This is a very cute, convenient laptop. You can easily carry it anywhere with you and it is fantastic for the price. The issues are starting to become bigger and bigger though: -The charger broke within the first week after I bought it and it has now been 3 weeks and I still haven't received the replacement I should be getting with my insurance. -If it is not connected to internet, it will become useless unless you pay more money to Verizon in order to set it up to get LTE connection. -You can't download common programs such as Microsoft Office or Skype. You also cannot play games, which I did know before I bought it. Overall, it's an alright computer for people who use it for basic email and social networking. Once the parts can be more easily located it will be even better. It is not the device for gamers or people who do not have easy access to an internet connection or the money to add LTE. Other than the charger issue, this device works quite well for me for the most part.
