    Nice machine. Slim, light weight. Touch screen works well (essential feature). My only negative has more to do with the Google operating system. I was hoping the user experience would be more “phone like” in terms of running apps, but it is actually more pc browser like. No biggie. Perfect for our needs.

    Chromebooks offer simplicity. This model is simple but provides a nice screen, keyboard, and sound. I like the speakers on the keyboard. Speed and memory is sufficient for most users. I got a great Black Friday deal ($150) to replace another Chromebook I spent twice as much 6 years ago. Not sure about durability but the frame seems study for normal wear and tear,
