Definitely worth the money
Love this Chromebook. Very easy to navigate through and works well with all the accessories I have. Wi-Fi works really well with this Chromebook also. Screen and picture looks nice. Sound quality is ok, it's a laptop. Has a HDMI connection for those that would like to use a monitor like myself. Get it
