Customers recognize the Spin 11 Chromebook's ease of use and touchscreen as significant advantages, frequently citing positive experiences with both features. Its lightweight design and compact size are also frequently praised. While some users mention storage limitations, many appreciate the device's performance and battery life for its price point.
Purchased this primarily for the size, features and aesthetic look. Was shocked by the battery life, it claimed 10 hours, but mine frequently gets nearer to 12 with conservative use. The touch screen which is Corning gorilla glass feels great and is very responsive. The included stylus acts as a pen, pointer, eraser and more. Touch pad seems more responsive than even some full-function laptops that I’ve tried. At least those on the cheaper end. The only negatives would be the stylus holder is a cheap, adhesive sleeve. Which, whatever it works but it’s not brilliant. And that you can’t open hand open it due to the light weight and stiffer swivel hinges for tablet mode but I’m hoping that the hinges will last. Definitely nothing annoying enough to stop the purchase or recommendation of. I often have several internet tabs open at once for work and it doesn’t ever seem to be slow.

I am not as happy with this purchase as I thought I would be. Being my first chromebook, it's a learning curve for me but I did get the hang of it after playing around with it. Display is good. Size is good too, although I have trouble seeing it sometimes seems not large enough. The wifi always gave me trouble which is why I deducted 1 star. It always had a medium or worse connection to my Spectrum wifi and nothing was wrong with my connection. Processor seems fast enough. The pen function is okay; it's not anywhere near as good as my Note8 with the s-pen, but it was one of the functions I chose this particular model for. It included a neat case, pen, and extra nibs for the pen along with full-sized charger. It charges really fast. Its light in weight without the cheap feel to it. My device doesn't seem to hold a charge even though I shut it down. When I go to use it I always have to charge it. Another reason for the 1 star deduction. Overall a good chromebook for the price I paid.

**Full disclosure: This was a birthday gift for my 9 year-old niece, I am not using this device day to day.** That said, this Chromebook has everything Lilly needs to pursue her dream occupation - becoming a crazy-rich YouTube blogger. :) Nice camera, touchscreen, uncomplicated, it even multitasks well. Lilly is thrilled, and for the time being, she thinks I walk on water, lol. Perfect (with a bag of buttered popcorn) for watching Netflix and Prime video. The performance for the price is much better than a comparably priced laptop, which would be bogged down attempting to multitask while running WindowsOS. Thanks and a shoutout to the Blueshirts at my BestBuy in Walker, MI, who for two days, took the time to answer our questions, patiently educating me on the above, as well as the pros/cons of darn near everything with a keyboard that was within my price range!
