“is this a good laptop for a college freshman?”

• I use it for school and 95% of the time it's fine but there are some things I ran into. Google Docs and Microsoft Office does not read older RTF file (rich text format) some of my online classes still use that format, Some online classes are Internet Explorer only and in my case some proprietary software such as Network Simulator is only Windows/Linux/Mac (with one exception) I got though these issue because I also have a Windows Laptop and I would Remote from my Chromebook at school, to my Windows Laptop with a app called Chrome Remote. Another thing Android Apps are coming to Chromebooks, Android has Apps for all of those issues as well.

• If the college student just browses the web and is comfortable using Google Docs instead of Microsoft Office then this is a fantastic purchase.
