Great Chromebook!
I bought this Chromebook as an upgrade from my Lenovo 300e, which is a HUGE upgrade. The fingerprint sensor is really convenient, the major upgrade in cpu, ram, and the display is life changing compared to what I hard before. It’s by far the highest performance laptop I’ve ever had. And thankfully with zip I was able to actually afford it as well.
