Solid Purchase
I like this Chromebook Plus a lot. This is my first Chromebook, so I can't compare how well the Chromebook Plus performs vs Chromebooks. Pros: It boots up quickly and has nice features. The keys are backlit and feel good when typing on them. I appreciate the touchscreen and ability to turn it into a tablet when needed. The laptop is easy to set up and use. So far I have been able to use the laptop heavily for maybe 4 to 5 hours until needing to charge it. Cons: When opening the laptop the bottom of the screen bumps against the table. I've seen other laptops do this too. The Lenovo 7i laptops and newer are much smoother and don't do this. Another point is that sometimes the touchpad goes awry and seems like it's lagging. I like to browse with many tabs open, so I usually restart and make sure I don't have too many things (especially more demanding websites) open to resolve this.

High quality Chromebook, almost like a Macbook!
High-quality Chromebook that is closer to a Macbook than you would think. Given chrome is so light weight that the increased memory and processing power is amplified. It is very fast, the display is sharp and bright, and to be honest the keyboard has better feel than our Macbook. Plus a year of Gemini and online storage for free to boot. Buy it, this thing punches above its weight. It is a little heavy, but quality can come with a weight penalty.

Great Laptop with Minor WiFi Connectivity Issues
I love this laptop however there are some software/applications not compatible with Chromebook so beware if purchasing and hoping to use with a certain software/application it might not be compatible. Also I have experienced internet connectivity issues which other laptop users have not. Similarly the connectivity to printers using WiFi has been shoddy and I have to restart my computer and the printer using specific steps to connect again. Other than that it's pretty great and user friendly for simple everyday work.
