Too good to be true
||Posted . Owned for 1 month when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Bought this device thinking it was a great price for what it was discounted for and come to find out when trying to use it unbelievable slow for a Chromebook yes the specs are not great but just slow in general. I would suggest you find a different laptop

Waste of my money.
||Posted . Owned for less than 1 week when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.It’s a waste of my money. This piece of crap is of no use to me. And Best Buy employees are so mean when I went to return it. They r so nice to you when u buy something but not the same when something needs to be returned.

Sub quality

Stopped working
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Purchased for playing Minecraft and Fortnight and was never moved. Within the first six months the power port had to be replaced. Then at 21 months it completely stopped working. The repair agent has found that the Motherboard, Keyboard, Power Board will need to be replaced. The cost estimate was $323.45 plus the $85 diagnostic fee. Worst laptop ever.

Don't waste your money
||Posted . Owned for 1 year when reviewed.This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.Save yourself the money and trouble and buy yourself a labtop. Any real tech person will tell you a chromebook is too limited to do any really work, document or online usage. It will cause you unnecessary issues and waste money in the long run. It simply isn't worth the small savings to begin with.

Wallet friendly
Posted .This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.For the advertised early Black Friday price, I decided to pick up this Chromebook for personal use. With all my digital gadgets gracefully aging — Ie 2012 MacMini and several year old iPad, I'm still procrastinating on my next generation PC or Mac purchase. I didn’t want to fork out $1200.+ for a MacBook or $500.+ for a decent Windows laptop just yet... I needed something to tide me over that I can do my day-to-day functions upon at a much faster rate than my current digital dinosaurs. I needed something mobile with keyboard to pay bills with, web browsing, email, and conduct light document processing. This chrome book is unexpectedly fast and I found apps that work well with my day to day needs in the app store. The value cant be beat for approx $130. I highly recommend to anyone that is procrastinating on their next big generation Mac or PC purchase and needs something to tide them over - this is it. The unit is well made and typing upon the unit feels ok for a budget friendly notebook. Note: The update/expiration window is clearly displayed on the retail box: Automatic updates until June 2021. This isn’t a big issue for me but may be a concern for others.
