    Overall, I found this on a good deal. The screen is nice with an okay sound as long as you're not listening to music for bass. Would recommend if it were on sale again

    Daughter seems to like it, seems well built. Wish they would have touch screens standard on these things. Used to be able to get cheap chrome books with touchscreens but now you have to pay more than I want for that feature.

    It’s really nothing special, I only bought the laptop because I needed a cheap laptop quickly for an interview as my old one broke, and this did the job. It’s kinda slow, but what do you expect at this price?

    It's an okay basic computer that runs on Chrome. Because of this, it isn't fully compatible with windows based applications. I had a difficult time connecting my Canon printer because it was designed for wondows or apple OS. Memory is a very precious commodity, theres not much of it. It good to get online, surf, and check email. Thats about it. Suggestion: pay a few more bucks for the Windows version.

    The laptop is not bad. They're okay for general web browsing and documents, and so on, but I'd far rather buy something like a Lenovo Carbon X1 Gen 6 or Gen 4.

      Hi, MargaretH. Thank you for choosing Lenovo! Regarding downloading movies, you could do so via streaming apps downloaded on your Chromebook, or you can play movies in certain file formats on your Chromebook. Also, we recommend working with Webroot to obtain the version of their software for Chromebook devices.
