I use this when ever I go somewhere besides home. Picks up Wifi easily and is easy to understand and use. I bought a light that plugs into one of the ports to use in dark areas to see the key board. For less then 10 bucks I have a lit up keyboard. Battery last a long time. Speakers are very good. The screen is easy to see and has a great picture. You won't go wrong for the price of this!

My son wanted something small that he could use in high school. Most all of their work is electronic. He easily caught on with the chrome OS and said it worked well for his needs. We bought a wireless mouse and a 128 GB jump drive that sit pretty flush. He was able to carry it around in his backpack without removing them. Said the battery lasted really well through the day.

Great price for what you get! We purchased for my 15 year old nephew who is starting high school next fall. He loved the chromebooks the school provided and wanted something similar but a little upgraded. We picked this up at BestBuy for more than Amazon is offering but was still well worth it. Battery life is great so far however we have not had it but a week. Right out of the box setup was simple, a few updates were needed but they were very simple to do. It did freeze up and we had to restart during the update but it was fine upon restart and has been fine since. This is a solid laptop. The keyboard is spill resistant which is also a nice perk (although we have not tested it) the keys easily wipe nicely with disinfectant wipes without feeling like you are ruining anything. The space bar is a little stiff but with time I sure that will loosen up. Nice that this has a slot for an SD card. Overall so far we are extremely happy.

I primarily bought this laptop for work purposes. Had a small budget and so my expectations were low. But I was shocked to see how much this little computer could do. It's quick and has descent battery life. I suppose if you're a gamer that requires lots of bells and whistles this laptop isn't for you. But for those who want to do work, school, basic video streaming, and web-based stuff this is a good inexpensive option.

Bought this laptop for $100 on sale and thought it was too good of a deal to pass up. I basically just needed it to set up a new router and to access certain things which I can do from my iPad or phone. Was concerned initially about no Ethernet port to set up my new router but I didn’t even need it so I was happy about that. Works perfect for what I need

If you are looking for ease of access to your on-line accounts, this this the Chromebook for you! I'm an aspiring writer and this is perfect for my needs since I keep my stuff on One Drive (though experience has taught me to print hard copies of any important documents). It has a long battery life and the portability of the Chromebook is great for anybody on the go.

I bought this chrome book for my great-granddaughter because it is what they use in school. I was impressed by the ease in which I was able to set it up on wi-fi, pair her Bluetooth devices (headphones, mouse) and also plug her action camera into the usb port and have it immediately recognize it. It is very user friendly and web pages load fast on the internet. It is just what she needs for school work and to do fun stuff like upload her videos to YouTube...so happy with this purchase.

I picked these up after having a teacher conference with my kids teacher. This is a very basic laptop and so easy for the kids to use and do their school work. My kids are in 4th and 2nd grade. These days they have multiple programs they have to log online to work on and these laptops work great.

Great computer for surfing, email, standard office functions (spreadsheets, word processing, and presentations.). Google apps work well and seamlessly integrate intimate your personal computer ecosysytem. The only challenge is that the device needs more than the 4Gb of RAM that ships with it. Recommend upgrade to at least 8Gb.

I wanted a light, knock around for meetings. I had never really used the Google Dox features, but they made organization easier, and pushed me in a whole new, more productive direction. I use it as my "to do" / organization folder when I'm on the other computer, and as my tour unit when I don't want to carry the heavier machine. With ATT Hotspot, it works everywhere.

For what amounts to be a little over $100 (at times) to $150, this device blows the doors off some other products that cost exponentially more. The spec sheet of this product is impressive given pricepoint.
I am a stickler (and sucker) for a pretty display and was absolutely blown away by the 1366x766 display. It looks much sharper than what you normally expect from something of this caliber. I am very pleased at the brisk performance at every task I throw at this Chromebook every time I use it.

Love my Chromebook- this is my second one, I accidently broke the first one when I sat on it and had a hard time finding a reasonably priced replacement. I bought this one new/open box at a great deal (think hundred less) and so far it has been great- fast, dependable and decent battery time.

I like Chromebooks and use them almost exclusively. They are the quickest for web surfing and there are enough apps and such that I can do minor word projects without using my computer. This is my forth Chromebook. Acer was the best of the bunch. Soft-touch keys and quick response. But after a year it decided it didn't want to turn on anymore. Samsung was the coarsest of the bunch but it worked. But after about a year the touchpad decided to stop working. HP wasn't bad but its touchpad didn't quite make the year mark either. So, so far this Dell is working fine. The keys aren't soft-touch and do require a definite push. But it starts up quick and has enough memory to move between sites without hesitation. Battery life is good, I usually go two to three days between necessary charges. But I don't spend a lot of time on it so your mileage may vary. How long it will last remains to be seen but I'm hoping I'll not need another for many years.

Bought this unit as a gift for a family member and she couldn't be happier. Decent screen, snappy and so simple to use. I love Chromebooks and now she does too. This seems to be built well and if it anything like past CBs I've purchased, I expect it to have a long life. Very well done and worth the price paid.

Some of the apps I can download are good. This will be decent enough for me to use for school with exception for the fact that I can’t use word. Wouldn’t recommend to anyone that has to write a lot of papers.
