Best laptop we have owned so far!
We have had this computer for 3 years now and it has definitely been put through its paces. It is a sturdy machine and has not slowed down in the last 3 years. It is our first time owning this brand after years of dealing with other computers that had nothing but issues and we have been very happy with this one for 3 years now. So glad we made the switch, the only issue we have had is that something is currently causing the cursor to be glitchy but we are going to get it checked out because this laptop definitely still has a lot of life left in it.

You're going to love it. :)
I absolutely love this machine. It's very solidly built, the screen is large and has excellent image quality, and the keyboard is sturdy and responsive. The only negative I have is that the screen shakes a little when I type, but if you flip it over and use an external keyboard, then there are no issues whatsoever (pic included). I don't use it to run games except those from Google Play, but it runs all of those extremely well. If you understand it's a Chromebook and all that entails, you're going to absolutely love it!
