Customers enjoy the Chromebook 317's large screen size, comfortable backlit keyboard, and ease of use. Many appreciate its performance and long battery life, finding it a good value for the price. However, some find the laptop to be heavy, and the sound quality could be improved. The RAM is also frequently praised as sufficient for most users.

    Going from a 2010 PC to this laptop was shocking for this cheap guy. I am 100% pleased. I still have things I am finding that makes life easier. Large screen is awesome, backlit keyboard is awesome, and being easy to figure everything out easily is awesome for this old guy too!

    If you are looking for a PORTABLE, long-battery-duration large screen Chromebook, this is not for you. Love the large screen; it's the second one we've bought after buying one for the lady of the house a year ago. By definition, a large screen laptop is heavy and will eat up battery time quickly. Bought it with the intention of keeping it plugged in like a desktop PC. Have a 14" Chromebook for Work which this 17" will replace. (The 14" will be at "end of automatic updates" in June 2023.) Have an 11" 2-in-1 to provide for portability. Do I like Chromebooks? You bet!

    My first laptop. My desktop is old and didn't want to replace it yet. This was inexpensive but the screen is large which is what I wanted. Probably not the best option for work or school, but perfect for streaming, email, social media, and shopping. The only real issue is that it's heavy. I don't carry it anywhere so that's not much of an issue. Overall, I'm pleased with it.

    Super big screen and fast multi-core processor made this the perfect replacement for my 15 inch Chromebook. While it has a larger screen, it was not physically that much bigger than the 15.6" version. Thin and not too heavy. Battery life is not as good as my smaller previous but still very good. I've been a ChromeBook user for years and I would highly recommend this model.
