    Pretty darn good little computer at a reasonable price. The only thing is, it does not have a capital letter lock, and there are no numbers on the right side of the keyboard. Other than that, its pretty good.

    I always buy Best Buy, but my experience with this Chromebook, has tarnished by longtimem loyalty.....one day, I touched the screen and the screen went black and then lines and discoloration appeared. It was wild. I took it down to Best Buy because it was still under warranty. The store then informed me I had to take it up with Lenovo. Lenovo refused to honor the warranty, saying I must have done something to break the screen even though I sent them photos showing there wasn't a mark on the Chromebook and that I kept it at my desk (I'm a reporter) and I have one for travel and one for desk -- this one never traveled. It's in perfect condition except for the clearly defective screen. I will not be buying Lenovo again.

    I have mixed reviews. I like it when it’s working. Day two the computer screen turned black and would not light up. You could see the charging indicator light. I had to send it back to Lenovo and I believe it was the motherboard that had to be replaced. I was just disappointed that a couple day old computer already had problems that big and failures. I don’t know a lot about computers. I have a laptop back and it is working well but it’s definitely slower than I would like at times I will say the company did have good customer service, and it seems to be good now .

    Too Simple

    Based on the suggestions and advice received from the sales rep, I chose this for my child that was starting high school, but I really regret the option because it’s too simple and slow for the classes, the work and everything else that a teenager does. To him it feels like a toy..
