I've had this for a week now, and I'm going to try to do my best to give a thorough review.
Pros:
- It came in great, impeccable condition, really, with the right charger and everything.
- Awesome battery life
- Comfortable keyboard
- Easy to navigate (I used to have a decent windows HP but it got destroyed due to a water accident, so I wanted something cheap that works, primarily for creative writing. I have limited experience with Chromebooks, but this has been super easy to learn)
- Even though this Chrombook comes on it's last update (see Cons), there are still plenty of helpful add-ons to be downloaded from the Play Store. For example, the voice recorder I downloaded (and internal mic of the chromebook) produces better sound quality than my moderately expensive HP
- I like the sleek, all black design
- It doesn't run hot or loud
Cons:
- Wifi detection can be pretty weak, so make sure you have access to a strong wifi connection
- Headphone jack seems to be a little worn out, so sometimes depending on how I move the chord, the sound quality in my headphones changes (this is probably a problem that is exclusive to my chromebook)
- It is a tad slower overall than middle to high end laptops, but not unbearable
- Since Chrome is on it's last update, you can't download crucial extensions like Adblock.
Overall, for 62 dollars or something after taxes, this is an amazing laptop. Frankly, I love it, and all the cons are not deal breakers at all. I guess it also comes down to the quality of the individual Chromebook that is shipped to you, as I suspect some are in better condition than others, but if Amazon's inspection process has improved, then I would think that the odds of getting a dud are less and less.
Bottom line: If you want a laptop that's good and cheap, this is perfect for browsing, watching videos, writing. It's a tad slower than your higher end laptops, but oh well. It's fantastic, really.
