    My first Chromebook, and I am not disappointed. Battery life is awesome, boots quickly, and easy to learn. Great buy for the money!

    I got this because some people have told me they like chrome books and it was a great deal at Christmas. I miss some of the features of my other laptop so I might still get a new one when I have more money but it seems fast, it's light weight and I have watched videos on it. It would probably be good for kids or traveling when you want internet access but don't want to bring your more expensive devices.

    I purchased one of these for my 12 y/o daughter in February and we all fought to use it. I bought another for my older daughter in May. Both kids love it. My college student daughter had some issues getting it to work for her online class materials but the IT dept helped her out. Be aware that not many IT departments have a lot of experience with Chromebooks yet so it can be a process getting answers to your questions. I highly recommend this for quick internet surfing and even the docs are super easy to use. I have heard there is difficulty in printing but so far it hasn't been an issue for us.

    This is a very nice and responsive Chromebook. The Intel processor is quick and overall experience enjoyable. Was initially concerned with the "feel" of the device, but most Acer laptops seem to have a little cheaper feel compared to the competition anyway. Still, holds up great and seems durable as it is used. Would have given 5 Stars if the SD card would insert fully, unfortunately it sticks out about half way. OVERALL: Buy this one!

    While it can't really operate as a computer - meaning you can't download actually programs - it works great for easy internet access. Most programs have an online version anyway. It's really easy to carry around because it's so light and the battery charging is super fast, as well as how long it lasts once it's charged.

    This purchase was my first Chromebook. It is a perfect size and functions really well. It picks up our Wi-Fi well even at a distance. The hard drive space is not large but it is sufficient since I plan to use online storage to share specific documents.

    I am really like what I can actually accomplish on my new Chromebook. I enjoy taking it places with internet connection and typing away on a regular keyboard with a picture perfect screen and webcam. I wanted something in between a laptop and a touch screen that wasn't going to break the bank and for the price this was perfect. I only had trouble setting up a printer on Google Cloud Print, but I figured it out.

    I bought this for my elderly parents to use as a way to search the internet in a simple and safe manner. The machine doesn't have a lot of confusing software to wade through and appears to be downsized enough to prevent any virus/malware attack. It was fairly inexpensive and meets their needs quite well.

    It's lightweight, nice looking, and I can't believe how fast this thing flies, faster than my desktops. If all you need this for is web surfing and email, then this is the computer for you. Can't beat the price, $159 on sale a couple of weeks ago.

    I love the size of this computer. It's very light and easy to transport. I love the response of the keyboard and the clicking action of the touch pad. The only problem I have is when it comes to printing. It doesn't seem to be compatible to my printer.

    I amusing this Chromebook to connect to my virtual desktop at work. It is lightweight, starts and is fully up and running, connected to the internet in 7 seconds. Show me a laptop running windows or mac that can acheive that? You can't...

    I bought this chromebook for my fiance after doing extensive research and reading a million reviews. He needed it for work-something lightweight and simple that he could walk around with (we live in NYC so he walks to work). He has had it about a month and is still raving about it.

    I bought this light weight chrome book a month ago. So far so good. Never have to worry about viruses anymore. Really like the light weight and long battery life. I always used windows OS before, and I still have not figured out how to set up parental control with the chrome OS.

    I bought it, because the price was $149 and I wanted to type in a real keyboard, as I basically use my mini-Ipad. Unfortunately, the keyboard is not very nice to type and I had a hard time with the mouse pad, for me, it did not respond right... Ah, and it has no Skype (the suggested substitute does not let you call many phones, I make many international calls) But, it is light, fast and cheap!

    every thing about this chrome book i like except that the buttons feel cheap, but that is just preference. i bought this for my 8 year old son because his laptop was slow since we bought it. this product has great speed for what he does, school work and entertainment an so far its been durable and price was great. i don't think i would ever buy another laptop.

    Have had this Chromebook for 2 months and so far it has been great. The keyboard is a good size (full size, actually) and is responsive. The screen quality is good and doesn't seem too small for our older eyes. Perfect for all typical Chromebook uses (surfing, email, etc.). No problems connecting to our older home network equipment or to other networks. It's nice and light even with a plastic protective cover installed. I especially appreciate not having to lug around a heavy laptop when traveling. Still like to have the regular laptop for some things, but as a second computer this Chromebook has been great. We'll see how it holds up over time.
