Great small and portable laptop, gets all the basics done well, and everything runs quickly. Good battery life too.

The pros: the display is fine, the keyboard is responsive, the touch screen works like a charm, allowing it to switch from laptop to pad is great, the ability to use a micro SD card for additional memory is fantastic
.but.
The cons. To be brutally honest battery life really sucks. I'm lucky to get much more than three hours from it. I can;t believe it could be used for all day school kid use. I'm used to Chromebooks that really gave me 10 hours of battery life.
Then, it seems to take a really long time to charge. If I try to charge via plane power, the plane power cannot keep up with the charge usage of the machine.
I'm not sure why, but it seems to be a bit of a memory hog. If I have more than a few tabs open it gets very balky, and I have to reboot -- which I do a lot. Again, I've not had that problem with other Chromebooks.
