I am really disappointed that the screen clarity and resolution is so bad. The text is just very slightly blurred ALL THE TIME. The colors are also not as vibrant or sharp as they should be--things are dulled slightly. I bought a $50 ignok portable monitor because I need a dual monitor, and it has a better screen quality than this does.
The ability to adjust settings is also very limited. You can't even adjust when screensavers come on. This plays into the resolution issues as well. You can only enlarge or shrink the display text or size; it is just a glorified zoom and doesn't do anything for the resolution. Unfortunately, there is also a docking mode that you can't turn off either. If you close your lid while using a dual monitor, it will stay on. You can't alter it at all. If you want to be able to customize your laptop, don't buy this.
Additionally, there are a few design features that I am not thrilled about. The first is that there is only one USB and and two C ports on the computer. A bit more would have been nice, but it is not a deal breaker for me. Also, the screen does not tilt back further than about 100 degrees. If you have something that boosts/tilts your computer, then it might not adjust to the correct angle. Also, there is conflicting information about if the keys are backlit, and the answer is no, they are not.
There is also a random issue where it won't load websites and they will just appear mostly blank.
I have only had this computer a few days and I've been irritated every day. I threw the stupid box away or I would try to return it. I wouldn't purchase it again, if nothing else because of the abyssal display.

My chromebook is perfect for my needs. I am 70 years old and not very techno savvy. The chromebook is very user friendly. I would recommend it for anyone but especially for users who are somewhat technologicaly deficient.

I've used this device for a couple days now. The screen is better than I expected. The keyboard is responsive and works without frustration. The touchpad also works pretty well. Honestly I'm pretty impressed that this device works so well at such a good price point.

I'm done with Microsoft, so this computer is perfect for what I needed! It's slim, lightweight and set up was easy and quick. I bought it for online shopping, paying bills, checking emails, etc.

This is a great Chromebook. The 8 GB RAM helps make it a fast computer for browsing, Screen quality is great for the price.
Updates will be available till 2033. Taking that into consideration, this computer is a steal at the price.
