If you can live ENTIRELY in a Chrome browser window while online, you can survive but not thrive with this crippled Chromebook. Firefox, et al. are too crippled in droid (limited plug ins). But being able to connect to the internet while mobile may be challenging for you. (My phone plan comes with several thousand Wi-Fi hot spots and I've always known where else I can connect to save data. I can tether to my phone, but why bother - just use the phone.)It has a full size SD card slot, but the card will stick out a good 1/2"+ so you can't get a cheap memory upgrade, esp. if you are used to sticking a well-made micro SD card in your phone or tablet. And you will break the card the first time you throw the 100e into your bag if you forget to unplug it.Offline apps are hit-and-miss and I enjoy them more on my phone than on the Lenovo 100e 2nd gen. If you use MS Office, you'll have to pony up for the paid version as at 11" screen size you exceed their free license.After experiencing droid phone life for several years now, I thought I could live in the droid universe. But this thing is a dismal failure and is sub par to my droid phones with a BT keyboard. There is some to like but lots to not like.Spell check in android is disabled at the factory on the 100e, a lesson taken from Samsung no doubt. Why even choose a language in settings?! So you can't enable keyboard features like Grammarly or Language Tool Proof Reader let alone the built-in android spell checker. Again - if chrome plugins are all you need and you are happy with the online Google experience, this might be survivable. You can survive but not thrive. And if you're used to the keyboard features on your phone, this experience can be frustrating. LastPass, etc will only work in the browser window even if you install it from the playstore as you can't enable it (or Grammarly.)The keyboard and track pad sit in the middle of low end computer experience. I can touch type on the thing, but the key resistance is rather high even for a cheapish model. And the layout will drive you a bit mad. I was able to remap the search key as a Caps Lock (yippee), but there is no [del] key. (The power key sits there.) (a dislike!) The top row can be configured as function keys if that's your style. At least the rest of the keyboard does follow conventional layout and has normal sized keys. (Like) I can't hit top speed, but the keyboard is at least better than at least two of my pricier BT units. I always use an external mouse but the track pad is pretty decent and better than some, esp the low end Acers.Saving the worst for last is the display. Seriously. I knew it was a TFT display going in and anyone using a laptop from 20 or so years ago will feel right at home. I thought the rather dismal 1366x768 on a 11" inch display would be okay, and it mostly is but the lack of any kind of modern brightness and contrast experience puts the thing into eye strain territory.Because you will mostly be cranking screen brightness to max, you'll be hard-pressed to get the stated battery life. As it USB C equipped and powered, your external battery will power it and you can use your existing charge cable in your car. or steal power from where ever you may without needing the PS - which comes with long enough cord and cable. (like)So even as a stand-alone Chrome browser, it fails to deliver. You'll be watching videos and looking at images on your phone instead. Oh, and at 11" it exceeds the limit for free MS Office apps.Not recommended. If you really dislike MS Windows or the Apple Tax (why are you even here then?), get a Chromecast on a cheap monitor for your phone and an external keyboard if you work from one desk. You can hang a USB-B dongle on your phone and use any USB or wireless keyboard if you can't find a BT unit to your liking.I still schlep the 100e around because I need to justify my purchase and do once in a while take it out for email and blueprint reading or to look busy at Starbucks. At least it's lightish and REALLY is rugged. (like)The list price is around $350CDN and you should seriously look elsewhere at that price point. I was able to purchase the 100e 2nd gen for under $150 and at that price it is worth considering but you might look at tablets plus a keyboard if durability and all in one are not an issue. As the 100e is not touch-screen, there is no need to make it into a convertible. It is rugged as all get out and for me that was worth a buy but certainly not as your primary computer. Of course, if you're phoneless and happy living in the Chromeverse, it's a bargain at that price and that's the market for the 100e.
