    We ordered 2 laptops for our elementary children. Works great for distant learning. We had an issue with one of the batteries not charging. Issue was resolved in a timely manner. (Refurbished)

    works ok but windows can't be updated because its so old so once it needs updated it won't work right. I wouldn't have purchased this one if I knew i couldn't update laptop. So ill be looking to get another one soon.

      Dear sdmann54,
      The Chromebook devices do have an end of life date, as this applies to all Chromebooks regardless of manufacturer. While Chromebooks are designed to have automatic updates, as Google explains: "end-to-end updates for all our devices to ensure the highest levels of security requires dependencies on many third-party hardware and software providers so we cannot indefinitely ensure that older Chrome devices will receive updates to enable new OS and browser features."
      We are sorry you gave the device a 2 star review because of this, and we understand this is disappointing but we hope the Chromebook meets your needs otherwise.
      We appreciate you taking the time to write this review.

    Sold broken item for a discount price; the back light wouldn’t come on after 2 weeks and they won’t fix it or exchange it. I didn’t even want a return. I will never purchase from Best Buy again, I’ll stick to target and Walmart for great deals with great condition items
