★★★☆☆ Overall, this is an excellent Chromebook. Easy to use right out of the box. But there are a few frustrating design flaws. First, the left shift key was placed an entire row down because for some reason they felt it was necessary to put a random “search” button right where the shift key would go! So if you are an experienced typist, every time you go to make a capital letter, you hit the very disruptive search key and an entire search window opens. It’s beyond annoying and it really makes fluid typing difficult. I would never have purchased it for this one problem!Another design problem is how hard you have to press down on the touchpad in order to perform functions with it, it actually starts to be a big effort.Not looking for things to complain about, but these “little” things have caused me to dread using this machine just a few days in. Far from a smooth use each time!
★★★★★ I had an Acer 15.6, which I liked quite a bit but I've had it several years and it was starting to rundown. I then purchased an 11.6 (I think) and I found it to be too small. Returned it and ordered this. I love it. More lightweight that 15.6, fast , screen is beautiful (HD), keyboard is fine. No complaints at all. Very, very happy. Ever since I got my first Chromebook I was sold.
★★★★☆ I really wanted to like this. I bought this thinking Chrome OS would be similar to Windows. It runs more like a phone or tablet. The system is based on a Google/Gmail account (your password/login is your email and your password). This would be great for leisure use but I wanted a work computer. And after I turned it on, I realized I couldn’t install the Microsoft 365 suite for Windows on it. I’d have to go onto Google Play and install each program (i.e. Excel) separately and pay separately. Costing more and doesn’t have good reviews. It may just be too new for other programs like Photoshop to be available for it (I didn’t even look because it was getting to be too much work). Sadly I returned it. I really wanted to like this.If it was just for browsing the web, emails and watching Netflix, it’s a great laptop for that. It’s fast, incredibly light and the screen comes right to the edge, making it very sleek.
