Hurry Up & Buy It!
The Spin 312 delivers outstanding performance, specifications, build quality, and versatility for the price, making it an exceptional value, particularly when purchased on sale. While its weight and the fact that it doesn't maximize the screen size are minor drawbacks. Its robust build and excellent screen quality are worthwhile trade-offs for the shortcomings.

Great Value
This is my first Chromebook, and I have to say I'm impressed with the value for the money. I bought it on sale for $299, normally $449. My previous computer is a MS Surface Pro that recently warned me about Windows 10 going out of support and whose battery has seen better days. This Chromebook can do everything I need from a home computer and has been a breeze to connect to my monitor and printer/scanner using a USB hub/dock. I like using the 2-in-1 flip around mode for perusing the news in portrait orientation. So far no complaints at all; the only thing I would add would be a built-in SD card slot to eliminate the need for other removable storage.
