Consumer review (newegg.com)

It is what I expected

 

Obviously I have not owned it long enough to 100% judge the product, but I will update this if there are any changes

The chromebook is what it is advertised as. It runs smoothly and it is easy to set up.

I wish they had mentioned that it doesn't come with free drive storage and the other promotions that new chromebooks come with. It isn't a dealbreaker for me since I have 100gb+ storage on my drive account as it is. I just wish it was mentioned before...

Perfect for me!

 

This is exactly what I was looking for as a bridge between my Asus tablet and a full sized laptop

It's not compatible with my school's student data base (RenWeb), but I think that is their problem, not my Chromebook's ; Also, it takes a little while to get used to everything being online rather than in an actual app as on a tablet, but I knew that...

Get one. Now.

 

Pros and Cons are irrelevant when technology fills a void such as this. Got a nice pc or laptop? a great android smartphone? smart tv? Then you want a Chromebook. This computer will be the hub to control them all. My phone is now only a pocket tool for...

Came with a promotional 1TB free storage from Google Drive for 2yrs. 1TB would be $9.99/month otherwise. Chromebooks use Google Drive as standard storage like a normal pc would use a hard drive. This makes your files directly accessible from all other...

Would be nice to have a touch screen. Who am I kidding though? For the price I can't complain. If you can find one and can afford it, get it!

Excellent product!

Consumer review (newegg.com)

Great as a 2nd computer

 

Ordered it Wednesday at noon it arrived Thursday at 3pm -I was worried that the white might discolor, but after unboxing it appeared that the materials are very nice and would be easy to clean were that to happen.

Great battery (Advertised 8 hrs, more like 7 in real life) ; Build quality is stellar. Solid parts, track pad and keyboard feel smooth and controlled ; Quiet/Cool (No moving parts at all) ; 100gb of Google Drive storage with purchase ; Boot from cold...

power cable is strange (large/bulky) ; viewing angle on the screen is worse than most screens but not terrible. For everyday web surfing it is good
