Title: Good buy for the price point
Review: This is nice for the price. It does not have the greatest screen for movies, but it gets the job done. I purchased simply to learn to type and it gets the job done. The volumn is low when watching media, but I suppose I could wear earbuds. Haven't tried that yet. I have not noticed any lag in responsiveness or any real problems. Considering the price, it's a nice little machine. Charges pretty fast too with the included charger.

Title: Great Computer For the Elderly
Review: My mom (over 60) needed a computer to pay bills on, and she was worried about virus protection. I figured a Chromebook would be a perfect fit for her, and she has enjoyed it a lot so far. The screen is very clear and bright so it’s easy for her to see. It only took me like 15 minutes to set it up for her, aside from the typical hiccups that come with setting up things for the elderly. (I love you mom but it’s true!)It arrived in great condition, it looks very sleek, and it’s not some monster of a laptop that sounds like a jet engine when you turn it on. I truly cannot speak to anything else when it comes to the function - it visits the electric company website perfectly. But for someone who has no desire to deal with paying bills on a smartphone screen, this is a value that cannot be beat - ESPECIALLY for someone with a fixed income. This didn’t break the bank, and I can trust that there’s no way my mom could accidentally delete System 32, so I am pleased.

Title: So far working well
Review: Bought this when my last Chromebook just got too old and unsupported. I've had it two months and so far so good. I wish it had an SD card slot like my old Chromebook, so I am missing that. As others say, the speakers aren't especially powerful, but most of the time I use headphones anyway. The screen is super bright. That's good if using it in a bright room, but when I want to watch a movie in the low light of evening even the very lowest brightness setting is brighter than I like. The screen image also does a strange shaky thing sometimes and I don't know what's up with that. Battery life is great so far. I can use it four or five hours and not even drain it halfway. Durability seems to be good. I wish the power cord were longer.One other minor thing, the way the hinge works, when the laptop is open it elevates the back edge under the screen. I don't know if this is coincidental or if the manufacturer thinks they are being "ergonomic" by angling the keyboard, but if they wanted to be ergonomic they would be lowering the back edge and elevating the front edge so that wrists are higher than fingers, not the other way around. I don't know why the myth of angling a keyboard towards the user being good for health persists, because it's not. Angle the keyboard away to protect the hands and wrists, or just leave it flat.

Title: Got for my stepdad as a replacement to his old HP that broke.
Review: I really got him this because it's cheap and does what he needs (web browsing). I set it up for him initally, and he's put it through the paces in the year and a half he's had it. It's got a ton of dirt and debris, from him eating on it and taking it outside to watch his nascar races as he smokes his cigarettes. It's taken the beating and abuse so far so that's cool. I can say he'll probably get 3-4 years out of it before he gets another one, and before it becomes obsolete, but it's great for now and does what he needs.We did have some issues getting it connect to a wireless printer, but updating it and powercycling it fixed that. Albeit, if you don't know how to troubleshoot, many people might give up. This isn't specific to this brand, but the the Chrome/Google OS in general. I sometimes think an iPad would've been better for him, and I think that's what'll want next. He was a laptop user his entire life, and as long as he can play his words with friends, smacktalk on facebook, and watch youtube videos and browse fourms. He's happy. It does it snappy enough for him to not complain. It's worth a buy for the price.

Title: WOW What a POS
Review: lol I know you might be thinking, "i have low standards, I just want something cheap and the Amazon reviews say it's...okayyyy." Don't do it.(1) Screen quality - which I did not care about at all - is equivalent to a first generation Game Boy. If you know what that is, you know that sucks. If you are too young to know, holy smokes this screen will shock you to your very core.(2) Doesn't properly DO ANYTHING - I bought this for 2 reasons: (1) to type stuff, (2) stream videos.Regarding 1:Wouldn't download word, wouldn't allow copy/paste, etc. I said "ok, I am low maintenance, I will just use Google Docs." Nope. That didn't work either lolllRegarding 2:Wouldn't allow me to sign in to any video streaming except Hulu. Man this thing is a POS.

Review: Es muy bien producto pero debes de tener muy clara tu expectativa : si quieres algo de alto rendimiento entonces no es lo que buscas, si buscas algo para tareas básicas está excelente, muy buena duración de batería, portabilidad, compatibilidad, muy bien en general. Incluso para programar puede ser buena si utilizas editores remotos para que el procesamiento no esté en esta máquina y disfrutar de los atributos en los que destaca.Para un pequeño negocio también está muy bien, puedes instalar apps de Android como WhatsApp personal y business, entre otras aplicaciones de oficina.

Review: I recently bought 2 of these for my teenagers. They are replacements for larger chromebooks. They're quite happy with them. I was happy with the price. Hopefully we get at least 2 years out of them.

Review: This particular Chromebook from Amazon was best offer I found fromAll other major competitors and similar models or chromebooks. Im more than pleased with it. Is a perfect size, feels well made and durable in my hands. I can take it everywhere easily without Needing to handle it very delicately because it’s fragile and flimsy. Feels rugged enough and durable to just grab and go. It doesn’t look cheap or tacky either. Sheen and Color are nice and with chic minimalist Aesthetic. It’s also got added versatility of dual input options with a standard USB port on one side for storage devices and the newer more common type C port on the other. Only things to knitpick is lack of backlight on keyboard and screen is not as dense or vivid and picture isn’t as sharp crisp, clear as expensive laptops and Macs. I was impressed right out of box so pretty sure It’ll stand test of time enough to not regret buying.
