So I bought this one on special and tried it out a bit. I was pretty pumped to get mine in the mail but was a bit disappointed. The shipping was so fast and even got it in advance, so that's a huge plus. Packaging was on point also, it didn't have scratches and was nicely packed. It didn't have any juice in it, so you have to plug it in for a few seconds before it opens. I never used the whole charge until empty, but it said that it will take about 8-9 hours before fully charged (with initial startup). The screen is nice size, could see everything fine, but the resolution was a bit low. Its a good built and isn't to heavy, so perfect for someone who travels or even for school. The touch pad (mouse) feels really flimsy and could break easily. The cable is long and isn't to bulky either. You need to have an Google account to be able to use Chromebook, wasn't a problem for me, but it's a thing to take in consideration. All your files will be stored in the "cloud" / google.docs. (so you need an internet connection when ever you want to access those files.) The Chromebook as a few speakers within, it's good enough for YouTube videos or late night Netflix, but aren't high quality., but overall does the job. If you have money to spend I would buy another laptop instead of this Chromebook Overall, when it comes down to the price and performance. In the end, I would recommend this Chromebook, and it does the job, but just don't have high expectations of it.
