    This is my second Chromebook of the same configuration. The first one I gave away as a gift to my cousin and she's just happy with it. This one is going to be mine. And it is so far so good.

    PROS: quick startup and shut down, excellent battery life. CONS: slow to load web pages, slow response to commands, freezes while updating, not compatible with anything. IF YOU ARE USED TO WORKING ON A REAL LAPTOP THIS WILL DISAPPOINT, SPEND THE EXTRA MONEY AND GET A REAL LAPTOP.
