    We gave these to our, at the time, 7 and 8 year old daughters. They have used them for a couple of years and learned a lot of their basics around them. Their school used Chromebooks to so that was helpful. Fast forward to today my girls have new computers and we were able to pass one of these down to my son. Only issue we had is a key broke off the keyboard.

    I bought this for my 10 year old son's birthday and he loves it. Granted he mostly plays video games on it but it's the same type they use at his school so he was able to use it without any help. The only thing I've noticed that could be better is the screen resolution, seemed a little dark and not as crisp as compared to the other models. But it was very inexpensive and for the price, can't beat it.

    Picked up 2 on Black Friday. One was given to my elementary school daughter and the other for a Christmas gift for another. Easy to navigate, play music, watch video/movies. She uses it for different things for school projects etc. Also got a memory card Samsung 128 which was best for this chrome book. It has all the basic stuff you need for kids. Even if your a writer still great. We are happy with it.

    I needed a small lightweight laptop to keep up with my work on Microsoft office while out traveling overnight. After doing some research and being a big fan of Samsung I landed on this little machine. It is not for watching movies or gaming but if you need to send and receive emails open spreadsheets and other documents this is great. I picked mine up at Best Buy for $159. Cant go wrong at that price.

    This Chromebook is great. It's perfect for anyone who wants access to technology and the Internet. You can surf the web, do email and write documents and spreadsheets without having to spend a lot of time learning how to use it. You can even use Microsoft products as well. Plus you don't have to worry about viruses and security issues. It you want an easy, reliable computer, get a Chromebook!

    I bought this as a Christmas gift for my wife, as she stepped on her table and destroyed it. I did not like any of the tablet options and after speaking with a Best Buy associate decided on this over a very cheap Windows laptop. I am glad I did, this is perfect for my wife who isn't tech savvy and just wants to surf the internet. It's very light and the battery seems to last longer than my laptop.

    Admittedly I purchased an open-box for dirt cheap. This is probably in the top three of my favorite portable devices. Having it as an extension of my phone and tablet and gsuite in general is pretty useful. I have my favorite android apps loaded and the linux terminal which allows me to access the servers I administrate. I have had this last a week on a single charge with random usage.

    Bought this for my 7-year old for his online learning, coding, web browsing, emailing and google docs. He loves it! Being a Mac and window person myself, I had to overcome a few learning curves such as getting rid of the annoying orange box on the screen, changing screen background and so forth. Once you get beyond those nuisance, you will like the machine better. Solid battery life.

    We've always been laptop people, but when I got one of these for work, I realized how easy it is to utilize a smaller device. I bought one for my daughter to use with her work, and she loves it. Wife decided she needed a new computer, so she got one too. Same result. If they're happy, I'm ecstatic!

    I’m usually an all apple device user but I decided to try this out just fir email paying bills checking emails surfing the web. Well for the price I was not disappointed one bit. It’s obviously not as gas as my MacBook but for the price it serves me very very well. The only reason it doesn’t get 5 stats is that I wish the screen was brighter but again at this price point I can’t complain.
